Dragon Slayer is obviously jealous ....

We can get 3rd party deals - Sharks can't.

We have a billionaire about to run our club which gives us financial security - Sharks are about to fold.

Makes sense.

Take a look at Brisbane to those who think there is no maneuvering around the cap.

I assume that is the business model a Tinkler lead Knights will follow.

It's underhanded and corrupt but you will end up with a strong team on the field.

At least your are an ARL NSW based club so I can live with it.

you can practically guarentee we haven't heard the end of this. Tinkler has been playing hard ball through this entire process so far. he won't deal with our current admin structure any further.

any bets on how much longer that admin structure is going to last, fairly or otherwise?

I honestly think you guy r better off without him.
In the bargaining process the guy pushing hard for a signature is usually the one trying to screw someone over. Think about buying a car.....

Tinkler was asked to "explain" a few things and spat the dummy.

Not too much longer, I wouldn't think, I'm expecting the Newcastle Herald to come out all guns blazing on the matter.

I honestly think your club has dodged a bullet.
The shady underhanded way Tinkler conducts business was made evident with te while Snowden saga - do you really want a guy like that running your club??

:lol: A billionaire who walked away from your club.
Anyhow I hope/ know the Knights will be okay, I would hate to see any club die.
Hopefully the current management can work through a process where they can secure the long term future of the Knights and the Sharks can keep Snowden :D

Noted in Telegraph today in the Rothfield section that Snowden is actually signed with us and Flanagan has a couple of targets already. Take it as you will.
