Well Reefy, I have been VERY critical of our PLAYERS this season. I have been critical because they seemed to have this mentality that they only had to turn up for 20 minutes a game.

Thankfully, they seem to have all become infected with Thommo's heart and soul, and have started to have a decent dig, for the WHOLE match.

As for the board...A Ship of Fools. Nepotistic, navel-gazing fools. The hard yards on the redevelopment work was done years ago. The grant funding has helped, and I was impressed by that, but it'll take more than that to swing my view.

Stuey? Out of his depth. Although he has seemed a bit more creative without Noddy running things. Maybe the Raper/Dykes relationship is the element we need to be concentrating on. I dunno. What I do know is that the lads are turning up and I like that. If Stu deserves the credit for that, then that's OK witih me.

But lets cut to the chase.
barry pierce & greg pierce.
The forum will reveal who thought Greg was an incorrect option.
& there is no need to search on who thinks his dad is the least prefferred option.
What has changed?
Was it the legal threats to Ghoti?
Was it the meeting that greg pierce had with CSSC, (who are apparently non political, but have now , jumped off the nepotism bandwagon).
Which brings me to a possible condundrum if the CSSC is non political.
If Greg pierce or any official meets with any supporters group, is that information given out to members before the event & are the minutes delivered to the members?
As Shark can attest to, PR, is politicing. Right?

I don't think that the forum was against the appointment of Greg Pierce persay, rather the PROCESS in which the decision was made. Any fair minded person would agree that to not publicly advertise such a position, and then appoint the son of the president would be perceived as jobs for the boys.

The CSSC is a supporter group Reefy. That's all it is. Stop trying to create contoversy by hinting that we have a hidden agenda. We don't. We are a group formed to bring supporters together to cheer for the Sharks. That's where it ends.

If you have queries on the CSSC then please forward them in an email to cronullasupporters@hotmail.com or come and speak to one if us at the games.

That's right Fizman.

If an OBJECTIVE, and INDEPENDENT selection panel chose Greg as the best candidate from a wide selection of candidates, then so be it, he's the best man for the job.

To ensure the best field of candidates, we should have advertised widely and possibly engaged the services of an expert recruiting firm.

I don't believe that this occurred.

Don't forget also, macca, that ppl are allowed their own opinions, even being members of the CSSC, and the CSSC isn't about influencing their opinions one way or the other, either...

While we're at it Reefy, allow me to clarify something.

Occasionally, a member of the CSSC committee will speak on behalf of the CSSC to answer a question about meeting points, travel, costs, promotion, memberships etc. because we find the forum a good medium for the dissemination of such information. However, unless otherwise stated, posts made by members are stating their own opinion and not that of the CSSC as a whole.

Exactly Aries. As I just said above. I think Reefy is bored today.

I don't think they are doing a good job at all.

The grant is more a political thing than anything else with the libs shoring up support in the sutherland Shire. Little or nothing to do with the board.

THe development should have been up and running and generating income allready.

THese are the guys that oversaw the ludicrous contract Ando was given, the childish way he was removed with all the attached media leaks and destabilisation, the hiring of Nuffy as a replacement, the treatment of Peachy for his last couple of years.

On G Pierces appointment as I have always stated he may well be the best person for the job, but we will never know as no one else realistically got a look in and Barry's comment of how he stepped out of the room during voting so it was impartial is ludicrous and an insult to the intelligence of Shark supporters. No problems with the appointment, big problems with the process.

For someone who has continuously pointed out problems with coaches and players I have wondered before why you have always been supportive of the board. Undisclosed interest?

Entirely justifiable, given that he posted a word for word transcript of what I imagine Greg thought would be a private conversation, with no consent.

So lets say, newman for instance, was a member of the CSSC & had a verbal exchange with either Barry or Greg about managment, results or strategies would he be frowned upon by the CSSC?

And

Doesn't the CSSC exist because the club has missed the boat on an important fan base area?

My hand's up. I was critical of the appointment and still am - the way it was done. It still stinks of nepotism.

I was critical of the players attitude (not all) and am still not happy with one or two. But that's my opinion and I'm entitled to it.

As for Raper. I still think he's out of his depth but time will tell. I personally think we're going better is due to the halfback. Thinking. Trying a few different things. Deeper and wider running forwards.

Let's see what unfolds in the coming weeks. I want them to win and keep winning.
I want to get rid of that 'dust' from the trophy cabinet.

I can't believe that I was tricked into joining a 'politcal movement' just because they promised beer and good clean fun.....The exact samme thing happened when I became a Young Liberal......but I never received my beer...

Excuse me, I have never been critical of Pierce board or Greg Pierce.
I have never spoken to any of them.
And why do I have to email that address to find out answers on the CSSC mission?
Would I be told something different in person?
If I was standing on the hill & asked these questions, would I have Mschark telling me "the hills not the place , here, send an email to this place"

Weird.

I have answered your question, not that I was obliged too.

Once again for the dummies . . .

The CSSC was formed to get fans together to cheer for the footy side. We have no political agenda.

Any other questions go read the code of conduct or email us.

Weird.

I just pulled up your last post, then stated the truth...

nothing to do with the CSSC, actually...

But like most things positive with the Sharks, you critisis them...

I keep telling you, you are a downer mate... you have attacked most ppl on this forum at some stage or another...

You have been VERY critical of just about everything to do with the Sharks...

And like Macca said, If you have issues with the CSSC, then take them up in the email address provided!

Or carry on like the idiot we expect ;-)

Are you the administrator of the CSSC McShark? Spokesperson? Owner?
Why anything CSSC related do you seem to chime in on?
