Looks like I might prepare a speech for the EGM

I'm more interested in meeting Yoda.

I'm more interested in meeting Yoda.

I’m referring to Mr Parramatta Alan “Ovo” Overton AM.

Who went by the name “Yodaeel” here

He has unfortunately passed.

A good man Overton. Club was in pretty good hands when he was around. We've lost some gooduns.

I'm a believer that there should be at least one board member who has an NRL background. Not necessarily a player. Could be a coach, administrator etc preferably with an Eels history. Probably a tall order for our club though.
Sounds like the next meeting might be worth attending. You could shout me a beer?

I agree with that concept too, however it does need to be someone with a little bit of business nous included with their football experience.

My mate got a member's email with some pretty good gossip in this area.
I wonder what the future holds.

I am reminded of the time I met Roy for the first time. Yoda introduced me to him, then when walking away Yoda said to me “ Count your fingers, and do that every time you shake hands with that man”

I don't count my fingers... I just refuse to shake his hand.

Some footy smarts in a senior position would be nice … and no I’m not suggesting we bring back the plumber or Ray or Brett but I reckon we lack genuine rugby league know how.

Well he has a plan.
Whether it eventuates is another matter because the likelihood of each step actually succeeding is very limited.

When the same people were trying to block some of the changes Max was trying to introduce to the consitution, they had just over 25% of voters at the meetings, so enough to block the change. Once postal voting was introduced, that number dropped to approx 10% and the motions Max wanted got passed.

So a couple of hundred people that want the change might not be enough for even step 1, IF sufficient numbers turn up at the EGM and/or postal voting is allowed at the EGM (I do not know whether it is or not).

I also think the likelihood of our current professional PNRL board of bankers and accountants suddenly agreeing to take us back to the dark old days where a $20M+ business was run by ex-footballers and dodgy business people is very, very low, so I don't believe step 4 will ever happen if it got that far.

It won't happen no one outside of the muppets Spags is paying want him near the joint.

Spags go f**k yourself and get life you halfwit.

You destroyed us once it your not fooling us again twice.

No defaming anyone, ok ? Make it all about the positives that Max did. We just need to use the new model better.

Might start with the yoda story then move to the “Wayne Bennett, pit of vipers story” add in we are acting like the pit of vipers

then move to speaking about not having a voice because of successive f**k up and waiting 4 years for control of the club and a vote

If this is happening, I'll make sure I'm there so I can, 'hear, hear'.

MIght add in, that I go to Junior Reps and most senior games, I don't see or hear of those mentioned as supporting his motion at any level of football.

Maybe it's because most of them live on the Gold Coast or that most people only care about first grade.

Even when they were directors of the football or leagues club.
