maybe if the club communicated to its paying members rather than treating us like mushrooms people like wamf wouldn't be thinking the way they are.
It shouldn't be up to you vid to go asking questions on our behalf, we have parted with our cash to support the club and feel like we belong to the club, shame that once we part with our cash we are no longer important.
Communication between mwse and the fan base has gone down hill at a rapid rate over the last 12 months due to loss of two employees.
Sorry was typing this as mark's post was put up but covers his and a couple of other points....
Agree it has not been ideal Cliffy and there has been a number of factors.
Re the website (which of course is a primary tool for communicating with people) I received this from Sarah this morning...
"We're currently waiting on a few things with the NRL before we can move Jess to the full time website role..... hopefully within the next couple of weeks we'll be able to do this though.
We're currently having to move all the bits and pieces over to the Sportal and NRL domain so this is extremely time consuming and difficult for us to keep going with everything while it's happening. Realise it is frustrating for people but we just need a bit of time to get everything sorted again."
So, sounds full on and they are aware of people's frustrations - not ideal granted but there appears to be mitigating circumstances?
C'mon Cambo Re communicating updates on Foran etc I think the club can be excused from issuing daily emails to the club saying "still not signed"?
Of course, with these types of situations negotiations can be protracted and delicate on some aspects and it is wise not to play out each step in the public glare or even issue public statements until things have been resolved?
I'd like to know what is going on but don't feel left out because I'm not being told each step of the way but in this case no news doesn't neccesarily mean bad news (Here's hoping anyway?) - re-read my post above about who we have looking after our interests re recruitment and retention of players - anyone here who thinks they can do a better job?

hey Vid
im not talking about Foran
I'm just talking in general, for an outsider looking it the club seems to have returned to the closed shop of the 80s and 90s the club could do that then because we were the princes of the league we are now the paupers and club relies on a growing membership base. All they have done is alienatenate it. I dont care if theres a Forum or not over there i rarely used it towards the end I what i do care about is being able to feel like I'm apart of the club and get a bit more information and communication than the general punter who doesn't pay anything to support the club.
