1) Snip, stick to the topic without the insults

2) have merged the new president stuff into one thread

Had her pegged as a president type from Day 1. I'm almost looking forward to the thoughts of the mysognists on the board but for the fact that their comments wouldn't be intended as humour.

Anyways, all the best Peggy - we were promised a transformation program at Richmond nearly 3 years ago and this is another example - this appointment wouldn't have been dreamed of even 5 years ago.
It's that simple Spud
"I discussed (it) with my three daughters, my wife and my 82-year-old mum, because it has really affected me … If those comments … were made about one of my daughters, it would make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up. I would not have liked it at all.”

Presume you're talking about the posters on this board since a majority at least of the club's board must have voted her into the job.
