Hey RFCO,

What's the story with Todd Banfield?

Most of the time when we recruit someone like him we get a video introduction or at least a written interview. We haven't even got any decent shots of him training either in still shots or in the training videos. I know he's there because he appears in a couple of the group shots. All we have is a short bit on how Richo thinks he's a good selection.

Almost get the feeling he's a bit peeed off we selected him and he really wanted to be rookied by Brisvegas. Of course I know this isn't the case but it's been really silent about him.

I want to hear how happy he is to be with us and how he thinks we are on the verge of greatness and how he loves training with the boys and how everyone's been really welcoming.

Nothing intentional at all, Todd loves it at Tigerland.

Might put the request in.

Has arrived, players got all the gear in a bag after training yesterday, except for the shorts.

If I took a photo of the light work they're doing on the field today, it's BLK.

Thanks Stig

Glad to know

It's a good looking range this year.

Got a new BLK cap (black media one) for Xmas and it's fantastic. It fits much better than the last KooGa one I bought in 2012

Sadly I can't wear the member's one, it's too small, not designed for "big headed" folks like me  ;D

That's the news I want to hear. I suppose he's really impressed with the facilities too.  ;D

Thanks for the response.

I've put the request in for interviews with them.

Hey RFCO, who is the new shorts sponsor? I hope we get a massive deal like Sydney did with Wolkswagen. Apparently deal was well into the millions

That's ridiculous for just a shorts sponsor

RFCO, is any special event being organised this year to pay tribute to us wearing the sash for the past 100 years? Such as a one off game wearing a special tribute jumper?

We will be planning something, not sure what yet.

IMO we should have a special jumper for 1 game with the thinner reversed sash that was worn in 1914. Would be awesome and sell like hotcakes at the superstore

2015 is also our 130th anniversary. Would be good to have a few different heritage jumpers worn during that season

First team we wore the reverse sash in 1914 was against the saints in round 1. Maybe we can wear the reversed thin sash against them this year as a tribute

Hi Stig,

Is it true the Club didn't send our membership renewals in the mail this year, all have been done via E-mail? What about folks who don't have email?

Also has a hard copy of the year book been produced? When it was announced (via email) that you'd receive them electronically there was an option that you could still get a hard copy. I selected that option and still haven't received one

Don't believe they are producing a hard copy this year. That checkbox was a few years ago wasn't it?
