Seriously JB, did you expect a 50,000 word treatise on what needs to be done? Those six points are pretty straightforward, it is a forum after all.
Not sure what Jubilee Boy expected but he simply asked a serial complainer what could be done better. The response looks like a cut and paste from some random website. Jubilee Boy called him out on it.

Pretty sure he can do that. It is a forum after all.

Jubilee is a good bloke, Objective View on the other hand is a Whiney law clerk with an axe to grind. Looks for every negative and amplifies it a thousand times over. He isn't necessarily wrong mind you, just irritatingly negative and won't change his name or opinions to Balanced View

Forgot the over inflated self opinion/self indulgent "straight shooter" sig.

Apparently this gives what's written added weight and therefore veracity beyond reproach.

We were already long odds, but I'd say this virtually kills the slightest chance we had of signing Cronk.

Craig Bellamy confirms new two-year deal with the Melbourne Storm

CRAIG Bellamy’s remarkable coaching tenure at Melbourne Storm will continue until at least the end of 2018 with the premiership coach last night inking a new two-year deal.

As revealed by the Herald Sun, Bellamy has signed off on the contract extension. The new deal was confirmed at an announcement on Friday.

“It wasn’t such a hard decision to make, but I took the pre-season because I wanted to be sure that I still had the hunger and passion to go on with the job,” Bellamy said after the Storm officially confirmed the two-year contract extension.

“That’s been a really important part of what I’m about.

“I have always been passionate and hardworking, so I wanted to make sure doing the pre-season that I was still all that and when the trials came around I had butterflies in my stomach before the games, so I am thinking I still do have that hunger.”

Bellamy was adamant he wanted the issue sorted before Monday night’s season-opener against St George-Illawarra at AAMI Park.

The new deal will take Bellamy through to a 16th season, cementing his place among the greatest rugby league coaches of all time.

The two-year activation, which was an option in Bellamy’s existing contract, means he is likely to finish at Storm in the same season as skipper Cameron Smith, who is also contracted until 2018.

While speculation has been rife that Bellamy would stay on, Smith this week admitted his long-term coach had been “coy” on what he intended to do.


“I remember the last time I was off contract, he actually spoke to me a few times about what he was thinking and what my thoughts were,” Smith said.

“I get the feeling he’ll stay and I believe just by seeing him around the place that he has plenty to offer and he still looks hungry every team he comes to training.

“I, and the rest of the players, would love to see him go on for another two years, but this stage he hasn’t given anyone any indication.”

Bellamy already owns the title of longest current reign of any NRL coach at their current club.

The 57-year-old has been at the Storm helm since 2003, winning the 2012 premiership after its 2007 and 2009 titles were stripped as a result of salary cap breaches.

In that time Storm has missed the finals only once, in 2010, when the side played for no competition points.

Even that season, when Bellamy thought about walking away from the game, Storm still recorded enough wins to make the finals on its own merits.

You wouldn't know a game plan if it hit you on the side of your ruddy complexioned, law clerk face and knocked your gimp mask askew.
However, that's another issue. The issue of game plan has been addressed and your blinkered view and hatred know no bounds.
Here's a few changes made in the off season that you probably wouldn't be aware of. Now, just to help you out....I'll write slowly so you can try and digest what these are to help increase your football knowledge.
- Jason Demetriou added to full time NRL Football Coaching Staff to assist with Ben Hornby and Dean Young.
- Tony Ayoub brings a wealth of experience to the Strength And Conditioning team to assist with player injuries, management and recovery.
- David Warwick is the new Recruitment Officer. He comes here after spending the last 12 years at Manly.
All of these appointments made by Mary, Doust and the Board should address your concerns and negate your terribly lop sided views and uneducated guessing.
Now go to GOOGLE and type in their names. A whole lot of items will come up on display relating to these people and their achievements. One time over the next few days if you are unable to log into World Of Warcraft, Fakelawyers.com or you've been banned from your favourite fetish site due to excessive spamming and offensive material, take a moment to read about these people, what they do and what they have achieved.
You may just be surprised at their skill sets and what they bring to our club. This might help increase your level of understanding about rugby league in general and the club we support.
Don't mention it mate....happy to help out and just want to help reduce the number of times you make yourself look silly :)

Yes...we should have kept them as finishing 11th is a stellar achievement, isn't it? JD is certainly a loss but I'd imagine he's been offered a decent promotion and has a nice little resume addition having worked as an assistant to Wayne Bennett?
Make up your mind, will you? Are you now happy with finishing 11th or you may like to try and improve on that? Maybe try something different? Are you saying you are now happy with the mediocrity you have ardently campaigned against?
Which one is it, 'Each Way'?

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

I'm the one who has to make up their mind? You loudly sung the praises of not only these people, but the apparent starategic geniuses on the management team who signed them up. I'm directly quoting you here: the "wealth of experience" "achievements" and "skill sets" that these people "bring to our club" have all WALKED OUT ON THE CLUB WITHIN A YEAR. They weren't sacked ffs, despite whatever obviously ludicrous spin you attempt to put on it - these people walked out and straight into other key roles at NRL level. Yet, you deign to blame them for our 11th place finish??? Jesus titty-fking Christ, what kind of deluded, bizarro world do you live in?? If your beloved lord and saviour had sacked the man most people of anything resembling a sound mind would consider responsible for the dreadful season - the head coach - no NRL club would touch him. Your attempts to keep painting every piece of shitty news coming out of the club as "nothing to see here" are getting pathetic - and this is the clearest example yet. You stepped in your own bullshit and got caught.

There is no each way for you. There is only one way. The Doustian way.

Is today your first day back at work? You don't seem very happy there Each Way?
Yes, I did sing their praises....and we still finished 11th.
Maybe you should try and entice them back and see if we can get to 10th?
Ps...the fractured Board makes the decisions, a CEO implements them :)

Even if you were representing Grouch's viewpoint correctly, which you aren't, but let's say you are, there is a big difference between overseeing the decline of a club for 5 years now and being involved for a period of 12 months. No one is expecting our club fortunes to turn around that quickly but the signs, particularly with PM, were there that the club may have been on the right track in appointing external people. Sadly all three of the appointments you alluded to have chosen to leave the club. Whatever the reason, in any organisation, that would be of great concern.

You're absolutely right. It's good times at the Dragons; has been for years.

Apparently this gives what's written added weight and therefore veracity beyond reproach.

I'm smarter than you, so in respect to your posts anyway, mine certainly have added weight.

I doubt that very much, it took you more than a year to come up with a response, not to mention your grammar is atrocious. Keep pumping yourself up though, it's doing wonders for your self confidence.
