  Mate, I'm quiet fullstop today.
  
  But yes, I'm deliberately staying out of this. I've made my feelings known on our team selections this year, but we got it right last night and if we keep those players in the right positions I don't think we'll lose another game this year.

  Moving forward though, is DA's job safe beyond this year from your mail.

  Sorry, I got nothing. But I think given the club has been very open about looking at other options you would say no.
  
  By sacking Anderson, the board can say we're moving forward now with their choice of CEO, coach, and predominantly players. It wont surprise me if it happens.

  Plus a $300k payout.
  
  Do you seriously think kearney could do a better job than Ando considering ando would have his team next year for the first time.
  
  I only regret kk leaving us. Mateo is not worth the reported $400k the warriors paid and inu is very replaceable

    I obviously believe we should have retained Kris and Feleti. I think Feleti showed last night why he's worth that money - and we wouldn't have needed to match the Warriors offer. Both Kris and Feleti were quite prepared to play for less than the other offers they received - both bleed blue and gold.
    
    If Anderson was pushed out, Kearney would be my first choice.

      1Eyed you have to admit that Feleti only plays 3 good games every year. He has the talent, but unfortunately not the ability to apply himself every week. You just cant afford to spend 300+ a year on a guy who only turns up a couple of times a year.
      
      As for DA. IF HE IS NOT COACH NEXT YEAR I WILL THROW IN MY MEMBERSHIP. I WILL NOT ATTEND A SINGLE GAME ALL YEAR. He is contracted and we should honour that contract.
      And I can tell you that 2 corporate sponsors that I know will be doing the same. If 2000 people (20% of membership) who spend $500 a year supporting the club all throw in their memberships then that will cost the club $1 million.
      
      Think about that one Ossie....

  Let's wait and see who they recruit before analyzing recruitment policy. Management must take some responsibility for the decisions as well.

  1EE, do you really believe DA sees eye to eye with all the players ? That DA didn't having something directly or indirectly to do with Mateo leaving, like Smith before him ?

  I agree on both counts.
