Bye Bye Raper

[Sideline Eye]

Just back from an interstate business trip and finally some good news on the rumour front....its see-ya-later Arron Raper after the 2006 season.
One down...one to go.

Lam to step up??

 

[Snoop Shark]

Great news! I dont need a X-Mas pressie now!

 

[ratsack2]

[imasharkie]

Aeron as in Flegg coach and younger brother of Stuey.

Great news SLE

 

[imasharkie]

By the way SLE. Who will be Flegg coach next year?

 

[Snoop Shark]

By the way SLE. Who will be Flegg coach next year?

Good question.

Wish it was the other Raper though.

 

[Since 73]

Do you think this is in some way a 'divide and conquer' approach SLE, to get rid of the Roper boys?
Or is Stuey still on safe ground

 

[Sideline Eye]

A few candidates, including some ex players.
A definate way to replentish our local junior ranks.

ET?

There would be few who could replenish our local stocks more than the great man.

 

[sydneysharkbrisbane68]

Get Gavin Miller or Les davidson involved, lets get the forwards some starch

 

[Snoop Shark]

Danny Lee!

We need some "OX SPIRIT"

Won't get ET while George Roper is head coach.

E.T,

Now theres a man that can get the best out of anything, maybe even footy players.

Pardon my ignorance on jersey flegg matters but what has he done wrong? Is he not liked by those that matter including his brother or is he just incompetent? What does this say about Stuart's influence within the club if true? Personally I'm not a great fan of family influence in any club as there will always be accusations of nepotism.

 

[Alan Shore]

Wasn't Aaron liked relatively more than Stuart as well?

Get Gavin Miller in to coach with Les Davidson as a forwards mentor.

 

[Snoop Shark]

Won't get ET while George Roper is head coach.

Hmmm there is not too many people the great ET doesn't get along with!

Flegg is small and most are of in the younger age bracket and will still be in flegg filling out and maturing over the next season or two at the very least.

Aaron is one of the biggest advocates of the local junior policy there SLE and you know it only too well. He was handed a bunch of Kiwis to mother over here, a few have been sent packing , and he has been the victim of huge player turnover as a result. That kind of thing is always unsettling for flegg teams when players step up to reserves or leave totally, and he has coached this small side to good wins this year over top 4 flegg sides .

I'm a huge believer in local juniors and the ex players that are planning to come back, I believe that they should be part of the club and will have success, But to imply A raper was anti-local juniors would be un-fair IMO.
