Hi Mary,

I think you could have stated that along with being an NRL fan you are a follower of the Eels . You opened with a line about corporate governance but did not disclose whom you supported . No shock when I look up your profile to find it was the Eels .
Maybe you could do an article on all the clubs administration and see what you come up with . Don’t stop at the clubs roll the NRL’s administration into the mix . How did two former CEO’s of clubs with huge disciplinary issues hanging over their respective clubs gained senior roles with the NRL .
Last point . I am not so sure the Eels supporters will be so happy about your purchase of Watmough. Listen to the rubbish coming from him about the club that gave him life membership and stuck with him despite numerous misdemeanours . I get the feeling that he has not had his last . BEWARE ! By the way has he relocated out of the Penisula? Hmmm

Boardroom bickering spells disaster for Sea Eagles

Mary ,
That article is so obviously written by a Parramatta supporter desperately trying to convince Foran that all is well out west . Please ! How is your coach and director of coaching going ? How are Kenny , Grothe , Spagnolo treated these days . And to suggest that only the bottom teams have had boardroom troubles is laughable . Steve Mortimer last year ring a bell ? Broncos ring a bell ?
Just once it would be nice for Manly to get the acknowledgment for a decade of finals football , premierships in every decade it’s been in the comp , development of some of the games greats .
Mary that was not one of your better pieces .

Don after reading all the comments on this article I think you just comment for the sake of a discussion . Here you go I’ll kick off one I’m sure you have quite often . The sky is blue ….

Australia vs India Tests: Player ratings

Don’t they Don ? Well my ears must be deceiving me from , Warne , McGrath and Clarke .
Even if you choose not to believe that Harris has the best strike rate of any Aussie with more than 100 wickets . Taken in an era of clubs for bats , smaller boundaries , limited bouncers etc etc .
Harris fit is the first bowler picked in the current team .

Australia vs India Tests: Player ratings

Rob can you please explain how you think he was worthy of that score . I am happy to be corrected but I don’t think his contribution would warrant a 7.5. I think his true score given his fielding , rate of scoring , situation of the tests in each of his innings should be a 5.8 . Definitely he improved on previous test series he has played but still yet to cement himself in the team .

Australia vs India Tests: Player ratings

I spoke nothing of Marsh’s average just the fact he was rated .5 behind all the bowlers .
Harris went missing did he Don . That’s why all current and past players rate him our best bowler since G McGrath .
Nice one Don .

Australia vs India Tests: Player ratings

What a poorly written and thought out article .
1.How is it possible that M Clarke could have the same series score as Rogers and Clarke despite playing one test .
2.How could you score Rogers 8.5 when as an opener on what has been agreed were the flattest pitches in more than 35 years against a very tame fast bowling attack ( I use that word lightly) did not convert one half century into a century or more .
3. You than rate all the bowlers at the same score which is a huge disservice to R Harris . Your score of 7.5 only .5 above the contribution of S Marsh ?? With one score of 99 you rate his performance that close to our bowlers? Are you kidding ?

If you are going to persist with scoring their performances in future at least make it out of 100 and put a little more thought into your outcomes .

Australia vs India Tests: Player ratings

Dane ,
Are you serious ?
Let’s look at Cricket . Can you please tell me from this year how many times throughout the year we saw Australian Cricketers playing here and abroad either for their state , country , county ,or any number of T20 competitions.

And oh my it was outside the summer window Crickets supposed to be played and that’s without an ashes series in the English summer .

Every single sport on the planet where there are professional sportsmen and women are trying to either expand there season or their exposure in their off season . It’s how they generate sponsership dollars .

Drafts, draws, drugs and dropkicks: Summer footy's gone mad

Brad Haddin to lead with Dave Warner deputy . Warner to take over beyond Haddin’s retirement .

Appoint Steve Smith as Test captain today

“Australia must get their selections right for Brisbane because India look unlikely to roll over.” I do believe they lost 8 wickets in that final session yesterday and the Gabba will be a completely different assignment .
Siddle has played his last test for Australia . Forget Starc for now , Australia’s 12th man Josh Hazlewood will be playing in Brisbane . M Clarke’s injury will mean S Marsh will come in relieving the pressure for now on Rodgers and Watson. In Rodgers case it may be time to go back to the future with E Cowan who has amassed a lot of runs this year .

India can beat Australia at Brisbane
