The blue one would be alright if it didn't have that ridiculous iselect logo

apparently tinkler is handing his nrl license back to the nrl tomorrow

 

[thenamesgould]

God I hope not. I've read that's what the members board wants, and that they also want to bring back our old CEO and Chairman, who were absolutely useless.

The club was a joke between Andrew Johns retiring and Tinkler taking over ... looks like they want it to return to those days.

I can already see Bennett getting the sack for local hero Rick Stone.

looks like they are after the 20 mil to me

What do you mean? Flo was grave dancing on GC Titans earlier in the year.

If they'd fought harder 10-12 years ago, they'd still be around today IMO.

Yep ... considering Tinkler has probably already poured more than that into the Knights, it's very short-sighted. Various factions at the club also don't like Tinkler having the power, I think. And obviously the old admin are still bitter and want their jobs back. I can take a few late bills for all the good he's done to the club - hasn't membership tripled since he took over?

I'm a Bears and Florimo fan (even though I don't really think the CC deserve a spot in the comp) but that is just pathetic from him. Not like there's any chance of the Knights ceasing to exist. He should focus on earning a spot in the comp, rather than attempting to dance on the grave of the existing sides.

Well only a total moron would write a story like that. What a total load of rubbish. There is ZERO chance of the NRL kicking out the Knights.

I find that the media, in this age of immediate news and thirst for content, will take any piss weak angle on any story and milk it.

Editors 20 years ago would sack journos for writing tripe like this.

there has been some absolute rubbish served up this off season i read something the other day that players should wear gloves haha

Oh man, that was one of the worst articles I've ever seen! And what was the reason? Fans hate knock-ons and love spectacular bomb takes!

How much unpredictability (and skill) can you possibly take out of the game?! Super sticky gloves would pretty much be the last straw for me.

 

[shane_sharks]

and these people get paid to write these articles

Since when have the Bulldogs ever had black in their colours. Really shits me, as the away jersey is usually the best in my eyes....

 

[mischap123]

That's not the one they modelled at the xmas party

 

[mischap123]

It's an "alternate" jersey. It's neither the home nor away jersey. Who knows when they or if they will ever use it

 

[razor77]

I realise its the alternate jjersey now, But still disappointed. Who are they trying to attract. Just more money for supporters to fork out.

Reni Matuia knocked out in the Cross by a now ex lower grader at Parra. The young guy didn't come across too well on the TV about his sacking from the club!
