Parramatta Leagues Club board sacked, administrator appointed

[Gronk]

I wonder how Raaay will take this announcement? My driveway is not long enough to catch him this morning.

 

[Happy MEel]

Has fitzy ever had his sights on being a board member? I think he likes the more lucrative executive postions

True, but seeing as though that dream appears to be slipping away, he could see this as the next best thing.

Even if he gets a gig on the board, there is no longer a gravy train and his appointment has a sunset date.

So mad max has decided zero $s for board members? ... i know there are some perks to be had, but shouldnt there be some pay involved for time given?

My grandfather didn't get paid for being secretary of the NSW Corgi Club.

Hopefully the aim is to get people on the board who are successful and don't need the money. That way you don't get failed plumbers or blokes trying to flog of their meat trays on the board.

Pretty impressive - i would have thought that to be a lucrative gig

Side note ... i had a corgi (cross) when i was a kid - named Bandit

Yeah i get that - and i know we dont just want some "fans" looking for a gravy train ... but my fear is we are looking for independent people, i reckon a small fee might help make em think its worth their while

My grandfather used to show corgis. In fact he has a pavilion (big tin shed) at Castle Hill Show Ground named after him. I assume it's still there.

It is understood the NRL wanted veto rights over proposed changes to the constitution but Donnelly rejected that plan. The NRL will also have no input in the selection of directors, although anyone appointed to the board must be registered by the NRL.

Hmmm ... i think i remember The Gronk Pavillion

Theres a fair chance its not still there ... i believe they are pulling down alot of the showgrounds area for the new train and residential ... though i think maybe the horsey end is more being demolished than the poochie end

No. Just as the pollies shouldn't be paid either. When they originally set up the American constitution, there was no pay for the pollies. It was considered a service(they were servants) not career pollies like Bernie Sanders, a 40+ year life pollie who never worked outside of politics, sucking on the teat of the public purse. It meant if you felt strongly enough about something, you ran, got in, hopefully fixed it and then moved on.

Then the public got sucker punched with the line that you pay peanuts, you get monkeys type of crap that always gets rolled out for these servant types of jobs.

Would anyone really suggest that the quality of politician anywhere in the world is top notch no matter how many millions we have allowed them to scam out of us through wages and perks, while the average punter struggles to get a decent pension for example?

So the same should be for the Parra board. No pay, you do it for the love and necessity, then get the f**k out!

That way you will be loved and appreciated, not despised and loathed.

This has more shit in it than Human Centipede 3. But essentially by not paying them anything, I reckon this will make them feel even more self-deserving

How wonderful would it be to have the independently wealthy to put their hands up for public service ?

We need more like Donald Trump and Clive Palmer, said no one ever.

This kind of thing is an attractive resume filler for some management types. It shouldn't take a significant time commitment either. The board aren't there to run the club, but to hire and fire CEOs.

The NRL would need a very good reason not to register a director. Otherwise they would find themselves in a real court, as opposed to their own kangaroo version.

The US constitution also does its best to limit the power of politicians. That's why it never really matters who is the POTUS other than for symbolic reasons.

but if the board positions are unpaid wouldn't that lead to more dodgy dealings like fake invoices and relatives on the payroll from people on the board making up for their lost wages?
