Nathan Friend made a very similar offer to the club & was told they didn't need him....
maybe both along with probably Prince & Presto could do wonders will a lot of problems we have at the club

If Matt does get a meeting with the CEO can he take a photo of the guy so we know he exists?
Side note, we supposedly hired the best person to get our culture right, why do we need all these ex-players to come back and achieve what is already someone elses job? If Mal can't get it done then move him on and get people in here that can.
Wow. I always wondered why we didn't see Mat Rogers involved.
We are insane, INSANE, not to want Mat and Nathan as involved in our club as possible.
And where is Luke Bailey? I loved his passion, toughness and leadership.
I think culture is a very broad brief and that there is room for everyone. For a young club we have scored an F in creating culture and heritage. Especially when we consider the amazing and talented players we have had wear the jersey in the first half of our club's existence.Quote:

Also on the Titans Club at Oxenford / Coomera Or where ever once its built and going it should be able to pay the junior pathway bill all going well. In saying that then the club can move the money from the Junior Budget it has now into the actual football department budget at a guess. Imagine injecting $1 Mill + into that budget.... Slow and steady lads....Slow and steady.....
I need this Titans Club in my life.

And here we go again. They are kidding if they chose to sacrifice the Gold Coast and surrounding areas to become an AFL heartland in order to appease the Sydney Market.
We are a poo Sandwich and yet our attendances are still comparable and better than many Sydney Clubs.
And why not expand??? I don’t care if we go to 18 and bring in Brisbane/Perth and have a diluted standard of competition.
Read it at courier-mail this morning, written by Badel with much glee. Looking forward to his report about a NRL fan snotting him one day.
At this point it wouldn't be too uninviting to the owners I would say.
For real? Badel wrote it. He’s a low life.Quote:
