Hi Peter,
Thank you for your comments, I really appreciate your efforts. Peter, my general thoughts are that this is a far more difficult challenge than most people would be acutely aware of. My view is that if you were to be voted onto the Board, your eyes would be opened and it would be a case of "Ah, so this is how it all works" and I am not suggesting it would be limited to just yourself, but ALL new elected Board of Directors. I don't believe that some of the challenges are as easy as we may all believe.
With regards to free to air TV, why do the Panthers get so many TV games? It wouldn't happen to be because Phil Gould is the General Manager of the Panthers? When it comes to Rugby League, it most certainly is not a level playing field - that's for sure.
A few questions if I may -
1. The Tynan Motor Group offered a major sponsorship (front of jersey) to the Sharks which they declined. Currently, the main sponsorship opportunities have been reduced by 50%. Would you have taken that sponsorship opportunity?
2. I really like the fact that you are Independent and judging by what you have presented you would have no "conflict of interests" in terms of benefiting from the new Development. What action would you take if you were made aware a newly appointed Director was in a position to financially benefit from the new Development?
3. As you have correctly pointed out, we are at the lower end of the supporter base spectrum in terms of numbers. What are your thoughts on growing the supporter base, whilst still keeping the Sharks in the Shire?
4. On a lighter note, would you be willing to vote for the return of our old Shark emblem? I would love to see the Sharks go back to our old Sharks emblem, just like Parra have done with theirs.
I thank you for opening yourself to answer questions and I wish you all the very best in the upcoming elections.
