He should have shoulder charged the arresting officer. He may have beaten the charge.

Well QLD was all behind the Storm, further proof they don’t get club footy.

If only he had of stayed at the Storm.

Or he might have just shot him rather than get his truncheon out.

Maybe we will bring Burty home from the Titans....

Can't see that working. Lukey copped more on here by the deathriders than in recent history. Maybe even more than Ryan Morgan.

Hey Barry can I borrow your crowbar?

That's not because they are wealthier then us, it just means that they don't squander as much as we have. Their decisions have grown their business base better then ours. We are one of the richest Leagues clubs in the country ffs!

Get a grip. They have been run way better then us. It's not that they are richer.

We are so poor at managing anything that the board couldn't even make a decision on a centre of excellence when the state government was giving away $5m (I think) to every leagues club a few years back.

Without someone like Politis lining up the business world for TPAs it is difficult.

If we had our own Politis we might not be talking as much about how poorly run we are.

We do, he's called Bill Moss, and he'd know many from the big end of town. For some reason the club freezed him out so not even sure if he is still interested. He could have set up some form of TPA apparatus similar to Broncos. Another poor decision from management.

No the border doesn't come down that far, yet, but give them time. Inglis comes from a small town west of Macksville (just south of Coffs Harbour) and the border apparently comes to there. But if they find another Inglis further south you can be sure the border will move again.

He wanted to physically run the club a la Politis, rather than help the club from the outside a la David Gyngell/Mark Bouris/James Packer.

That said viewing how Politis operates, we'd probably have been better off long-term with Moss within the club. The Roosters exclusive chairman's club is rumoured to come with a price tag a lot further north than the reported $16k entry fee

FYI - the Thoroughbreds arrangement is not related to the Bronco's or it would be against the Salary Cap rules for TPA's (haha) so the Club couldn't set it up and my mail at the time was that Bill Moss was after slightly more than running an external Corporate Networking group for the club (which is effectively what the Thoroughbreds are). Don't forget his and his son's involvement with our salary cap dramas (google "Black Citrus", "ScoreCube", "Stephen Moss").

Oh and this is an interesting read about Bill Moss and his plans for the Eels.

There were pretty valid reasons for Sharp and Co. to sideline Moss at the time they did.

He was going to charge us $4.50 a week for a digital subscription to the Australian? That's outrageous!

I’m not sure you have.

Insightful as always Guts.

Well the SMH wanted to charge me something similar so I preferred The Australian article.

To be fair, that was when we were haemorrhaging money at the time and we had our hands full in getting our latest development/expansion off the ground. But the point being, terrible management over the years brought us to that point. It was another missed opportunity to pickup a freebie kick-along courtesy of the State Government.

Who knows, our stellar management may be able to talk the Gov into contributing funds down the track when we are in a better position to build a quality CoE.

Hahahahahaha........I crack myself up.

That’s because backstabbers forced them to prioritise facing a salary cap investigation.
