Okay - The object of the 'entertainment' is to win!!!
The 'entertainment' needs forwards (like the Broncos)
Bums on seats watching you loose just won't happen - ask Parra
The entertainment needs professional people to run it.
Lets compare...
Benji v Glenn Stewart A ball playing forward who has skill that are world renouned
Where was our cash when he was on the market - opportunity well lost.
Benji v Simms. Hmmm again a no brainer. You only have X amount of cash.
Yes our club should be in the league of Man U and the likes.
Hence the flipant way we throw or cash around won't get us there.
I see in Marshal a scared man who will be on his last big contract
I see a touch footballer who relies on ablib to get him through who when Beau Scott, or someone of that nature get hold of him will smash his onto the medicab.
Money Lost.
You talk about entertainment - put the money we have into brutal forwards who will smash punie scabs like Benji every day of the week.
As for big names to promote our brand Our Brand promotes Our brand.
I this some of you have forgotten the nature of our game.
Mum's don't like it but boys becoming men love it.
And as the games rewards skill over the years like Lockyear Meninga John's and the like and our immortals The game (entertainment shows people for who they are.)
We'll sign him He'll do some good but be there no mistake - we will not get value for money out of him.
In the end it will be another disappointment brought to you by the management of the Red V.
What I'm wrong for see thing how they are.
I see the management of Souths doing a grand job. Signing Tim Grant and Stewart, while we RED V butter around with Benji.
I see the Dogs presenting a good argument for potential comp winners
I see Penrith Moving forward as a team
I see The Broncos forward pack kicking arse again and again
I see us floundering on the rock because of poor decisions for years to come.
I love this club far greater then you could imagine boy so if you think I'm slamming it, it's because I have reason.
I'm not yes man to intimidated because I disagree whole heartily when the signing of this fraud.
He just want money to prop up his retirement.
He's average at best. His whole career is on show. And you enjoy his entertainment.
LOL
I use the word systemic. And with the soldiers of fortune coming through the ranks of Holden Cup who believe they can play Rugby League just because they think they can well as we see a little further every week the Game - not entertainment is becoming some what sadder.
The skills are going. No one can tackle like Mortimer the forwards like Young and co who once ruled the waste land are dead relics because you fashion police want to be entertained with flash inuendo
I'll never leave the game in the hand of people like you boy and I just hope The Managemant of the RED V see thing clearer before its too late
Because on any given Sunday
The Broncos Bulldogs Rooster and even Souths will smash us because they are doing it right
Where as WE are doing it way wrong - all so often, all so deliberately!

Good call, I'm leaning toward Benji but I can just see the shit hit the fan in here after a few games if we dont already win the Grandfinal lol

Benji isn't going to win us a Grand Final , A first grade coach with quality support staff that can coach and discipline a talented team is what will get us a GF.

In saying all of this about his apparent ego, the Tigers let his ego get that inflated. A lot of superstars will over-inflate their ego if they are allowed to, it's human nature.

Word on JA is matter is stalled because we have to release someone and that Sharks have given him a deadline of today to decide.
Benji not happy with the delay according to that source.

Would be great to be able to read the JA forums - but it seems I am not worthy enough.

Can't see what the problem would be, requirement is 20 posts minimum and a genuine Saints supporter I believe. No trolls allowed.
Contact a mod and ask what the process is.
If they let me in there the standards aren't that high.:D

Totally unprofessional CEO & Board.. how can you run a business when you act like this. If the CEO were on top of things you would expect he knows what amount of money is available to spend on a player... not make an offer and then realise you have to get rid of someone in the middle of negotiations before the deal is done. Totally inept.

I don't mind either way whether Marshall comes or not...I think it would probably be good for the team, sponsorships etc...but to stuff around like this when you are competing with other clubs to sign up a player who you have decided is a worthwhile acquisition...just incompetence!!!

I was implying that his style of play has been ineffective for the last couple of years...which probably had something to do with him warming the bench for Tigers last year and falling out of favour with Mick Potter...

You don't like my opinion, no problem, but think before you comment.

Well why didn't you say so.
Agree on that note.Also felt he couldn't sustain that off the cuff style and sidestep not being as young and flexible,but needs to play smarter than trying to do too much all the time.
Soward was in a similar predicamite with Price,and with a new club is playing well.
Hopefully Benji will do the same with us.

I don't think it's the money alone . It's having a full top 25 registered and how do you release one to make space.

We only have 24 so have a top 25 spot available
