The direct quote was from the club statement released an hour after the news broke
It 💯 was leaked from a board member who made the call and it’s not a shock considering newscorp at the majority owner the club
Mate we are owned by newscorp
You think they would be able to keep this under wraps from them
This is how the club will always operate until they sell out of the club
Courier mail just posted it right now
Wow

In what world could he emulate Tapine. He has zero attack. Tapine has always been a weapon in attack. Riki is lucky to make 6 hitups a game for 50 metres.
He didn't do to well this year when he was injured and that was really his big chance to step up. I think the club and fans have basically judged that he obviously isn't the answer and need to continue looking for alternative options.
Ill play
1. We draw all of the top 4 sides within the first 8 weeks of the competition and again after origin.
2. We play all the lesser teams during origin when they are basically at full strength including the Warriors at NZ two days after an origin where no one is a chance to back up.
3...
It should be a pretty easy punishment as for the rest of the comp as well. You don't want to play for Australia your banned from Origin for life as well. That includes all the Tongans and Samoans as well.
That and I would really like players that actually want to play week in week out and arent just content with putting their hand up mid season and saying ill take a week off thanks when the times are tough.
He only played 6 in his first game of the club cause Reynolds was injured week 1. Then he reverted to the bench utility role until Kelly went down when he got a couple of games at 6 before Gamble secured the role until Mam unseated him.
But hey, lets not facts ruin a good old fashioned billy...
All I can say is, if you give the Swans that big of a lead in this week coming, you wont be winning like you have the last two weeks. You will be losing by 60 if that's the case. They are a 4 quarter team.
It will be interesting to see what the crowd make up will be for the game this weekend...
