Waldron to Melbourne Tigers Board

Mon Feb 06, 2012 10:39 pm

And I do not wish Waldron well, until such time as he comes clean about the whole sordid affair.

Perhaps once Hartigan and Marcourt are out of News Ltd he will feel free to spill the beans on just who truly was the chief rat. I personally very much doubt that he was totally responsible, I'm of the belief that he was to some extent following orders.

I'm more interested on the fate of the agents to be honest. They'd have the goods on ALL the clubs. If their jobs are threatened all they have to do is call in their marker and come clean on every dirty deal they've done with the other clubs, threatening other premierships and basically making the NRL look like the incompetent twats we know they are.

I think you've just provided your own answer

No agent will be 'investigated' because the entire house of cards that is the NRL would fold

Had to laugh at the news footage tonight of zig n zag in Canberra to cry about the Optus ruling.
At least Demetriou looked determined.Gallop looked like a lost little boy tagging behind

What did Gallop look as excited as he did the other night at the Indigenous game - he couldnt crack it for a smile if he tried too. Ive yet to see him look at all interested and looks as if he wish he were elsewhere

In the Herald Sun today they said that the position with the Tigers is some kind of unpaid consultancy role (if I'm remembering it correctly). Waldron should not be allowed anywhere near any professional sports club, even if it's a non-paid position.

I regret not shouting abuse at him when I saw him at last year's WWE show.

As much of a farkwit Demetriou is I'd take him as a CEO over Gallop any day of the week...

Yeah, everyone now knows what that means

I'd take Waldron over Gallop!

Gallop is useless. See him in the paper lauding over "his success" over his 10 year reign. Useless reporter should've grilled him about what he has failed to do as most of his "accomplishments" would've occurred regardless of who was in charge.

Was it a News journo? If it was, how could you expect anything else? I remember Gus Gould in his article post "terrorist" comment criticism Gallop's leadership and pointing out that its only seconding from "gallop-friendly" journos (read: DT journos) that makes him look good. Most Fairfax writers loathe Gallop from what I can gather!

I'm also interested to see if the report on salary cap rorting in the NRL goes ahead. It was in the wind to air on 4 Corners well before 22/4/10 apparently and was being compiled by the same strumpet who did the beat up on Matty Johns. There'd be a lot of choice nuggets in there that I'm sure the clubs (us included!) and the NRL wouldn't want made public....

I have refused to watch 4 Corners ever since that debacle in May 2009 where Matty Johns was hung out to dry and they never chased up the other culprits involved. Not that I ever really watched 4 Corners anyway.

That was the most disgusting piece of vindictive "journalism" I think I've ever witnessed. Dredging up an event that occurred years later where no crime was ever found to have been committed. The guy was immoral in his actions and unfaithful to his partner but was that a reason to attempt to destroy his reputation and livelihood?

And it was made worse by the pressure put on Matty's employers to unfairly distance themselves from him. Disgusting and disgraceful!

Oops, should proof read before hitting submit, was going to say "dredging up an event years later where....". Should read:

Dredging up an event that occurred years earlier where no crime was ever found to have been committed.
