[Stagger eel]

now we can all get some sleep..

 

[bartman]

At least they're owning up and communicating publicly when their communication goes astray... a big improvement on last year imo.

So who's missing from the team lists?

Brod Wright?
Brendan Oake?
Junior Paulo (reported injured)

 

[fish eel]

This whole CRM thing baffles me. I think it was MITS who mentioned they were having troubles with it last year. At the end of the day it should be just a simple mail merge to a database. cant be that hard. anyway.....

 

[Hellsy]

Good work club :thumb

 

[Stagger eel]

just some observations.

* congratulations Guru on game number 100

* congratulations Timmy Mannah player #705, wear it loud wear it proud.

* there's big wraps for number 14 for the Maggies Kim Uasi, played for the Vulcans last year and was in the Tongan WC squad.

* I'm surprised Lachlan Gowland couldn't crack it for a place in the 17 for the NYC.

* Sione Kaafi is Fui's cousin and they also drafted him from the Vulcans

* poor old Hoover hasn't been able to crack it in the 17 for the Bundy side

* footy is back! you f**kin ripper!

The CRM thing baffles me to Fish, I'm just happy they admit when something is wrong

they're talking about an email - not mail merging post .... I think emailing to lists can have issues as it needs to be done so as it doesn't result in mail clients thinking its spam - hence its done via some software that sends the emails ... and its probably not running on a mac, so you can understand there may be technical difficulties :lol: :lol:

yeah..i'm a bit of a pest to ross smart at the best of times, but he made a point of contacting me and wanted to pass his apologies for the issues which caused the delay in releasing the news letter..suffice to say he was very annoyed and I think the poor bugger was still in the office.

sh*t happens lets move on.

Put it simply, I don't know why they can't get CRM right. I have worked in IT and for companies with Mass mail outs and never had the problems we have seen with CRM. I guess because the CRM is part Web based Mail-out solution, Part Season Ticket allocator, part global database of league fans, that the developers haven't gotten right, but I would have though the NRL could have gotten a piece of software from another league that could do the job, without all the "in house" developing I hear the CRM needs.

I know Ross was not completely impressed with CRM when he took it over this year, this might be the straw that breaks the camels back though.

Also for Strider's and Fish's benefit, I believe CRM is a web based application, run on a web-server. There are many OS's that can run on X86 technologies that could be the back end platform. Or indeed it could be Windows Server 2003. If that is the case then fault detection might be surprisingly easy.

 

[Kornstar]

Joe Mataele all the way in the Bunduberg Red side? I thought he was quite strong last year in the NYC.

Anyone know what happened?

yeah, the coaching staff believe that it was in his best interest to have him develop his skills against men.
