Let me add to this...
If fans knew of what I know about certain things that WERE planned to happen...
There would have been riots in Belmore !!!
Say NO MORE !!! :nomouth::nomouth::nomouth:
I know for fact that certain players towards the end of Hasler and Eastwood era were feigning injury and it was laughed about amongst a group of players in the context of "oh, so you're in the 'injured' brigade now too bro".
Thats the hole we have been trying to dig ourselves out of. Having some key players on big coin not putting in and encourage others to follow suit

Well, if the transfer happens and he plays against us let’s hope he plays the ball backwards after we tackle him :-).
That was my point mate sometimes he makes crucial errors it’s almost a try assist for the opposition but other times he’ll get you out of your half with strong tough caries… the ultimate rocks and diamonds player.

Yep. That’s why if he goes I’m not too worried.
Nice guy, not questioning his effort but we can do better and I’d wish him well.

The way some are carrying on though you’d think this was the world’s rich list :-):

1) Jeff Bezos
2) DWZ
3) Elon Musk
4) Bernard Arnault
5) Bill Gates

Yeah mate Bezos, Musk and DWZ often switch positions on the rich list depending on the week.

Maybe DWZ can shout the bar at the Leagues Club before leaving then. He’d have a few grand in the ash tray according to some :-).

but to be fair when was the last time the club confirmed any player's contract value?
Just someone asking at the Members meeting about the apparent about face on back ended contracts and/or who ever thought $800-$880k was an appropriate amount to pay DWZ will do :grinning:

Yeah he’s definitely been overpaid and has a crucial crucial error in him at times but AT LEAST HE PUT IN FOR THE JERSEY! EVERYTIME! On that alone he has my respect forever! I hope the Warriors make the semis even more now.

Probably not but at least Members get to vent lol and reiterate to the Board that these types of overpayments do continue to wreck our future and fans do not support that.

If the Board want to counter that argument, they have to explain the reasoning for the (Anderson Board less Dunn etc)decision.

At least they are kept to some sort of accountability.

I'm sure most Dogs fans are fed up with inept decisions all round. To know they are a thing of the past, is well worth this Boards attention in explaining.

Elections next February.

As a few keep saying, its primarily the same Board.... less the Andersons and a few mates on that ticket.

Should we be worried :/
I think it’s something that needs to be asked why it happened again when they said no more back end deals under castle and Hasler

Of course they won’t and nor do they have to.

Things change along the way and I’d love to see some of the TK experts around the boardroom table :tearsofjoy:.

For example, luckily Thommo is going well, but would we have signed him on the same terms knowing the set restart rule was coming in?

Or would we have signed Jacko for 3 years as we did in December 2019 given the forthcoming rule changes which suit some players and not so much others?

The truth is it’s never been / never will be a perfect science. The directors are not dopes and should be given due consideration for unpaid work they contribute with significant scrutiny to a club they genuinely want to succeed.

But keyboard warriors know better…

If that was the official list, DWZ would be 1st and not 2nd LOL
