[baggygreen man]

but I do think he has a plan,

What do you think that may be.

 

[baggygreen man]

Yes, a five-point plan!
1, Sign Dearden
2. Punt Hunt
3. Sign ABF and appoint him Captain
4. Molo brothers to Warriors
5. Sign Klemmer from Westt Tigers

We dont need Klemmer if we have AFB, Lawrie plus the two Manly guys, Tuitavake/Fifita. Will local junior prop Josh Coric make our 30 this season. Be a good addition to our engine room..

My PERSONAL thoughts are that we will get him, i dont know for what year though

 

[baggygreen man]

Our track record picking up elite players is abysmal for reasons I have outlined. So what does Flanagan do when his plan A bombs. Specially in the halves with no Dearden, Sully gone, Amone almost certainly, no juniors ready to make the step up, only his son who is yet to prove that he can lead a side round the paddock. What is left is the man that loves nothing more than playing the show pony.

 

[baggygreen man]

These guys dont bend easy in tackles. They find the lines well to move forward post contact. Their work ethic in defence is very active.

Could not have worded it better myself. Both have already repped at Blues underage too. Reckon either would make terrific edgies.

Does Twiggy follow the Dragons?

Interesting question DD. He is West Aussie by birth and from his bio he has been more involved in Rugby Yawnion than League. Nothing in it to say he follows us.

Well if he does go ahead and become our main sponsor with Squadron Energy in 2025 our club better be on the improve and make it worthwhile for him to sponsor us.

Yes 100% as Twiggy wont back losers. Check out his bio to verify that. Almost everything the man has touched in his business life has been a success, fair to say he has the Midas touch. Astounding the diversity of his business holdings. From the Akubra hat company to huge cattle stations.

Hopefully the Twiggy thing goes through (would like to see it public), hopefully a smart businessman who has contacts who can organise some TPA's of sorts like all the other cheating clubs do.

Maybe too late for contracts like AFB/Dearden.. but maybe.. definitely a huge moment though if we get more money & brains behind us.

Does Twiggy follow the Dragons?

Maybe he does. There's a St George Terrace in Perth, and a crazy clock where St George comes out and slays the Dragon.

 

[Gourley's Socks]

It makes a whole lot of sense if there are wheels in motion to relocate the club to Perth.

No hard info - just speculating.

Yes he is an entrepreneurial businessman and dabbling in many things is his answer of not putting everything in the one basket. I know that the St George Bank have been great sponsors but they are more or less governed by several people including Westpac and while Twiggy's ventures requires organisers he has the overriding control and I'm sure that he will not want to suffer any indignation and foolishness of any of our Board members so, the place will be operating much smoother than in other years I'd say.

On the other hand he may wanna bankroll us as a stand alone club once again if he is a long time supporter. Hope that is his aim. Bear in mind if we do relocate to Perth our juniors have lost a nursery.

You bet DD, he wont take any crap from BOD otherwise he'll pack up his millions and go elsewhere. Could say he'd have em by the short and curlies.
