How many kennellers thought Ivan Cleary was bonkers at the start of the year when he claimed Burton could be an NRL centre …. Anyone seen the Dally M team of the year …
I didn't think Cleary was bonkers or that Burton was incapable of playing in the centres... but I did think Cleary was not seriously considering playing Burton at left centre ahead of a $650K a year Stephen Crichton or Naden or Momirovski

Can someone show me a single complaint by the club about Laundy. Or better still anyone here with actual connections to the board provide negative feedback about Laundy as a sponsor?

People say the media turn to him as a rent a quote but the interesting thing is he often seeks out the media and creates a story himself. I don't know how many people are genuinely interested in his opinion anyway.
He's literally telling the media what he messaged someone, I can't help but feel that's just weird..

exactly mate the knockers here are way off.Thank fuck the club never listen to "us" :laughing:

And to date no-one has given an example of any negative board feedback.......with good reason there isn't any i'm guessing.

This isnt true. It was embarrassing when he started running his mouth in the media like he was some footy power broker.
Sure I wanted Burton to come across at the time but when Penrith said they wouldnt release him I wasnt phazed because hed be better off playing in a gun team this year when we werernt going to do well this season. Look what happened to Cotric when he arrived, couldnt do shit with the players around him.
I dont care if a sponsor talks to the media. Hes done well for himself and is obviously a smart operator but when it comes to talking about Dogs 'business' he fails. Undermining the board in regards to Elliot, yeah Im not interested in anything he has to say any more.

im not disagreeing with you that he should shut his mouth... the elliot thing really annoyed me - im just saying hes come out and admitted he was wrong, not easy to do these days with all the keyboard warriors on hand.

Man I love this kid.
I know. Don't have all the facts on him :grinning: but from what we can judge by his actions and temperament...we have got ourselves a future legend both as a player and young man.
