all of these things.
additionally, i'd like to say i'm really proud of the club right now. the deal started to stink, they asked for clarification on the smellier parts, and Tinkler was exposed. plain and simple. he has tried to pull a swifty on us and brought himself undone. if he had played with a straight bat, then there wouldn't have been a problem.
we'll move forward. on the field things are looking up, and i'm still happy with our squad. our situation hasn't changed - i just want a quality prop for 2012. will miss out on Snowy now, but there are plenty more props on the market.
this patrons trust private ownership model is certainly worth getting out of the bottom drawer and having another look at. things are going to get much easier for NRL clubs over the coming years, and Tinkler was well aware of that. we'll be ok, and i'm rather sickened by some of the comments about losing faith in the club over this. today is a day of pride, we didn't get bullied and pushed around by what honestly appears to be quite a petulant rich man at this stage.
i'm not convinced that he won't be back... in fact, depending on who is talking about in regards to not dealing with our current admin, it could be a lot sooner, rather than later. everyone should keep themselves strapped in, i don't think the ride is over yet. Tinkler was very explicit in saying that it was the current admin he didn't want to deal with, not our club in general. i feel a coup coming on.
