Today's Tele - A Big Joke

[Sideline Eye]

" Cronulla powerbrokers Barry Pierce & Steve Rogers will carpet departing fullback David Peachey today over the veteran fullback's heavy outburst at the club"

Since when have these 2 employees been powerbrokers...sorry boys you're no Kerry Packer or Rupert Murdock!!!
Typical Sharks mentality, not allowed to say your mind, have to hold back the truth just in case someone is offended.
Sure Peach is nearing the end of his career, but for sh*ts sake he has been one of the clubs best performers in 2005 and he is entitled to speak from the heart.
Whats the club is scared of, that it won't be portayed as " one happy little family!!!"
He puts bums on seats, the club owes it to their fans, we keep management of the football club in a job!
There's alot of other players who have been there for years and have done nothing near what Peach has and they have a contract for 2006.
All we want is a football team that is picked on form, not favouritism, that we can be proud of supporting through every game....win or lose.

sit back strap yourself in...and enjoy the ride!

 

[Surely]

and where would the tele have gleaned that information from, it's probably in there to see if they can create any more sh*t for the bottomfeeders to feed off.

What qualifications do these two possess?

We are talking about a multi million dollar business!

The article also states:

""We just want to have a chat with Peach, that is all," Rogers said. "It's got nothing to do with anything else that's been going on over the past few days."
Queried over what this morning's meeting was about, Peachey said: "I've got no idea, I've just been told I've got to come in for a pow-wow."

Maybe they just want to sit him down and apologise, explain that they have made a terrible error of judgment, tell him he is a top bloke, and that they are willing to offer him a new contract. Not.

I think its a case "oh no, the supporters don't think we are nice guys"

 

[pogo]

rogers would have qualifications wouldnt he gunnamatta?

a test captain, one of the best ever footballers to lace on a boot!

the peachey issue is so clouded by everyones admiration for his ability, the FACT is he is nowhere near the player he was.

then he bleats to all and sundry , airs his dirty washing in the public arena and de stabilises the club 6 weeks out from the semis.

sure he is entitled to be disappointed at not getting what he wants, but if you employ a coach and football manager you must let them run the business.
he didnt have to be einstein to work out last season when he was only offered a one year contract he was on the way out.

as stuart raper said on a 2ue interview, the decision was made in the long term benefit of the club moving forward.
he also stated that david might well look at the approach adopted by the brisbane broncos, its better to let a player go one year early than one year late.

unfortunately blind loyalty by many fans clouds their jugement.

pity cronulla havent offloaded more in the same boat as peachey.

 

[wittyfan]

Your anti-Peachey stance pongo is unreasonable!!!!

 

[gunnamatta bay]

a test captain, one of the best ever footballers to lace on a boot!

Agreed. Great credentials. But for what? What about Pierce? Pretty average I assure you.

 

[Sideline Eye]

Pierce.....Water Board employee?

 

[carcharias]

Bazza borrows Phil Baileys moto-scooter.

 

[wittyfan]

:lol: :lol: :lol:

 

[gunnamatta bay]

Pierce.....Water Board employee?

Thats right and he still can't stop the leaks!

It' s a newspaper headline dor christs sake!!!!!
Not like you to get caught in the media hype Sideline?

well done pogo, thank you for that perfect illustration of your knee-jerk imbecility. we are in fact discussing qualifications relevant to sport administration and business credentials, not athletic achievement.

i am one of steve rogers' biggest fans as a footballer, but if you actually had any idea what you were talking about you'd be aware that his subsequent career in several businesses since retiring from football has been, to put it kindly, a mixed bag backed up with minimal formal training or qualification.

the exact same could be said of barry pierce and the mixed results at the sharks over their tenure together exemplifies this most concisely.

 

[black_dot]

credentials....hmmmm

A supreme court judge gave his learned opinion on the credentials and creditbility of Barry when handing down his finding from the last court case our board represented our club at....

Assumption. Who says SLE is caught up in any media hype? More like he's got a finger on the pulse.

 

[Quint]

I meant his reaction to a headline ,not the underlying story

 

[pogo]

i was referring to steves football knowledge thats why i omitted barry pierce from the statement s o l

rogers is well aware of peacheys diminisihing affect on the side and well aware that a player who bleats and whinges publicly about an issue he had full knowledge of does nothing to help the club six weeks out from the semi finals.

peachey went public, did the media circus and you wonder why rogers, raper and pierce have the sh*ts.

wake up!
