Cos we have a duty to our sponsors and 2017 member intake to remain competitive. If we allow team performance to drop off then that will have a knock on effect with 2017+.

Well the plumber and co. should've thought about that earlier

Absolute rubbish, BA has worked hard to build a culture here, allowing Semi to do as he pleases erodes that.

no, you guys are right, let's go back to losing games just to prove a point, that's heaps better than winning.

I'm saying there are better ways of punishing a player than benching them.

Yep

And we still have a chance of making the finals. We only have 2-3 days to sign a new player, however our final penalty won't be known until after that. So what happens if we happen to only lose 8 points instead of 12? we would then be a decent chance of making the finals. But without a back up half it would be a real struggle.

Another elephant in the room is the change of stadium for 2 years while trying to keep membership and season ticket sales stable at least

I think the club needs a statement signing or similar as we finish 2016 to encourage STHs to renew, if you don't use public transport, there's another minimum $20 per game for parking etc

What a time for all these issues to surface, didn't seem such a big deal at the start of the year , as most would just automatically renew, unfortunately that's not the case currently. There will need to be a push of some sort to reinvigorate the fanbase

Pretty much a case of watch this space :(

Hodkinson I'd say. Looks like he's locked in until after 2018 @ Newcastle.

Nah mate not quite the conspiracy that you were hoping for.

I was just trying to do a funny man/straight man routine with Korny but he didn't oblige with the straight man bit. Possibly because he didn't see a funny man.

If I was around I would have seen the funny man bit......this is why we shouldn't have to work, it gets in the way of this stuff!!!!

In the PC society we live in we MUST respect all other cultures. If you do not then you are racist. Semi is on Fiji time and we must respect that.

I have attending countless seminars about it at my work.

No one else in your workplace is relevant when it comes to being PC.

Prove a point???

What that no player is bigger then the team??? Why do you think we have done so well this year with all the rubbish??? They are a tight knit group, playing for each other and going the extra mile because they are all doing what's best for the team. All that changes when one player does as he pleases and puts himself ahead of the team. Those wins start to disappear when the team isn't as tight as it should be.

We should get PC principal onto the case, he would make sure everyone is warm and fuzzy and feeling good.

And he could sort out nasty Pou and all his micro aggressions.........

Well IF found guilty he won't be playing for us anyway.. And I wouldn't want him to.
No place on our team, in our club, for domestic violence.
