Bernie was on BSB talking about a number of things here are some points below.
Regarding memberships
1, We had to plan that we would play at new WSS members are understanding at the moment we have simply taken a deposit from members. We had to start the process otherwise we would be miles behind. We have just been setting ourselves up.
Hayne, Moses , Jennings Norman. Recruitment
2. Haynes has not been presented a contract yet. Gurr and B.A. have spoken to Hayne saying they want him at club a number of times. Working thru issues around contracts.
3. Norman will be with us for 2019 he is doing some training already and has a contract. Corey will be there.
4. Moses Has a contract and again I expect him to be there as well on Nov 1st.
5. M Jennings same situation
KIWI International ?
6. No I saw that rumour no not at all.
7. Free agent list there wasn't a lot of high profile players on market this year. We want to be a bit bigger and younger for 2019. We have done reasonably well.
So that's Bernie on the club for 2019. Looks like we are done with signings and everyone is staying and very happy.

FMD ...unless these youngsters set the world on fire we are looking at another year being also rans.
Come on down Schneider & others.
What do we make of what's happening at the Eels right now. There seem to be issues with every part of the organisation which is pretty normal for a large operation, however as fans we want some clarity on where we are heading & what we are going to do differently in 2019. I, like many of you see other teams signing players but all we seem to be doing this off season is getting rid of players with no news on who will replace them. The stadium issue should be sorted in time but as a fan it's another issue we want explained in a lot more detail. Hayne telling the media he has no contract yet I see in the news that the dragons are chasing him. What is the real story with Norman, Moses & Jennings. Who are the new coaching staff hired to support BA. It's the off season so we go from supporting a footy team to following the soap opera that is the off season & after the season we just saw we need some good news stories to get us through summer. I truly believe the club powerbrokers are working through all that needs to be done prior to next season but I want real hard facts about what is going on so I can get my hopes up for next season. At the moment it doesn't look like there will be too much to get excited about so come on Eels, give us something to get excited about so I can get through another off season.
Hahahaha we are a deadset basket case - bring on spoon #15.
He's happy and we have done well, lol he was happy before this season as well.
We are an absolute mess, Bernie says all the right things but he's an absolute fraud. Another bottom 4 finish coming up.
BWAHAHAHAHA! What a first class dope weekend at Bernies is, he doesnt fool me.
Yes its good hes sticking up to the WSS management but any CEO worth their salt would be doing exactly the samr, its just basic management 101.
Our clubs a disgrace.
