And what's even better I still get to see when he likes me calling him a moron. The new layout is fantastic
Prove otherwise ? Source ????
The proof is that article you linked. That's the source. You just can't read.
Yes, but since our PLC Directors are the ones who (acting as PNRL Directors) have needed to enact them, then yes I want to see a PLC Administrator (in place of the PLC/PNRL Directors) make these happen before we open up the PLC/PNRL Board/s for some form of member elections again.
Opening up the selection of some of the PNRL Directors to the members allows for some member accountability of those directors representing members in the new governance structure of the footy operations. It won't improve the quality, which is why I hope the new governance structure will only ever allow for a minority of the PNRL Board (say two Directors) to be directly elected by footy members - the remaining Directors comprising (say three) indepdent (merit/NRL) appointments, and some mechanism for a small PLC representative (say two) crossover.
Both, to varying degress, with influence filtered by independent or NRL appointments.
Concerns over money wasted if administrator takes over Eels

One of the groups attempting to gain control of Parramatta has raised concerns over the money and time that could be frittered away if an administrator were at the helm of the club for an extended period.
The Eels could be in the hands of an administrator as soon as this week, with NSW Deputy Premier Troy Grant waiting on a recommendation from the Independent Liquor and Gaming Authority on the best way forward.
If an administrator were appointed to take control of the leagues club, there would be significant ramifications for the football club given they share the same board.
Lawyer Brendon Noney is also concerned over the financial impact of placing the club in the hands of an administrator.
“I would like to be able to work with the administrator to bring about an election as early as possible so the members get a say,” Noney said. “I understand why the legislation is there. But a club is about the members. How long will it be before the members get a say in how the club is run?
“I can’t see this process costing anywhere less than $1 million, maybe more. Depending how long they’re going to be there, it’s going to cost a fortune.
“That’s members’ money at the end of the day. That’s why I think it has to be short and sharp.”
Noney revealed he had held talks with Chris Losco, who has led the charge for reform by fronting another group, as they look to form a united front on the way forward.
“To them, it’s them helping the club as opposed to being on a power trip or ego trip.”
“What I would like to see is for us to work with the administrators to hold elections sooner rather than later ... to lead the club out of the quagmire it finds itself in,” Noney said.
“Part of the problem we have had to date is the guys who have been on the board, their day job hasn’t been as important to them as their roles as directors. Those guys have had a desire to interfere with operational issues.
“On the flip side of that, when you have guys who have careers and roles in business that are more important than their roles as directors, I think you find you get people who want to make a contribution.
“To them, it’s them helping the club as opposed to being on a power trip or ego trip.”
