Subject: From your CEO
Dear Members
I wanted to send this note to reassure you that while the team and coaching staff are disappointed at our recent record, the spirit within the camp is very good despite publicity to the contrary this week.
There are certainly no ongoing issues between Coach Daniel Anderson and Dally M winning fullback Jarryd Hayne. The Coach felt Jarryd did not play well against the Broncos and said so in the media conference. Jarryd was not on his own in that regard and Daniel specifically mentioned that he was probably trying too hard to spark something for the team. Unfortunately we are not responsible for how media organisations may interpret such comments or the headlines they put on their stories.
It is often said that the spirit of a team can be gauged by the attitude of its defence. The fact is we have conceded just five tries in the past three matches, despite two losses. The morale, and the closeness, of the team is first class and everyone in the club is united in wanting to turn the season around with better results in the coming weeks. Things will come good and we certainly have a team capable of going all the way this year.
All of us at the club were so appreciative that nearly 16,000 turned out for the 5.30pm clash with the Broncos on Saturday night and we hope that support will continue when we play the Cowboys on Monday week - when we celebrate the milestone of 250 first grade games which will be achieved by co-captain Nathan Cayless this weekend in Auckland.
As always, thanks for your continued support.
Paul Osborne

FROM YOUR SUPPORTER
And 1Eyed you are NOT being prickly - that intro sux.
Gives me the impression Mr. Osborne is pretyy impressed with himself and he wants the rabble to acknowledge it.
When hierachy use formal titles like this they are talking DOWN at the people IMO.
Dear Mr Osbourne,
I wanted to send this note to you inform you we the paying customer would like you to get off your high horse you condescending prick and try not to gloss over the current situations at the club. We Fans wanted to reassure you that while we are disappointed at the clubs recent record, the spirit within the fan-base is very good despite publicity to the contrary this week and the previous 16 rounds.
The sooner you realise that the club has a problem, and you attempt to rectify this instead of trying to pull the wool over your employers eyes, the more harmonious this relationship between the club and its ever suffering fans will be.
As always, we shall continue to support this great club , through win, lose or draw.
ToMmYbOy.
P.S - Next time you feel like knocking off the shopping from the local Woolworths, remember that you are a representative of our club and your actions can be a Negative as well as a Positive reflection onto the club. As a elected and paid CEO you should know better.
Why do I get singled out for posting an email for members, but then there are others that get to post email for members?
This blog is only one example, I can go through more blogs and find other instances where members emails have been posted.
I feel singled out in this case. There are other times I have been accused of defamation on having an opinion and have had my comments removed.
I don't feel like I have posted anything that justifies this discrimination, it's like there's standards for some, and then there are standards for others.
anyway i felt this was the best thing said: We're still in the market for another player or two and hope to be able to make an announcement shortly.
