    To be fair its not often we get to put shit on any female suits around these parts. The change may be refreshing.

    Anyway, will wait for her first speech and if she does an acknowledgement of Con to see where I stand.

    Her resume reads very well with broad experience in the sports industry and connection in mining too. Plus she's local...as long as she was raised North of Swansea.

    Look forward to seeing her impact on the club.

    Not sure her credentials are that great, netball Australia is broke and the NRLW is a snooze fest, was she the only one to apply, there?s got be a decent ex footballer with the house to do this job, football people belong in football jobs

    Do you have any clue how many 'undisclosed fees' we got when all our best players left?

    Proof is the pudding id say.

    Roy Drinkwater was the captain of the first KB United side. In their second home game against West Adelaide in 1978 he scored an oggy from near halfway lobbing it over Phil Dando. Pre internet was shown on football shows around the world including The Big Match, the only overseas football show we had at the time.

    Part of Newy football legend.



    It is at 0:45 in this short news clip (with some other great memories!)

    She may as well just quit now. The power of these "OUT" threads is so mighty that I don't think anyone has survived one yet!
    She's doomed. DOOMED !
