Love the big fella.

Surprisingly refreshing for him to say it publicly even though he's employed elsewhere.

Here’s hoping he’s open to a Fifita / Scott swap then

If they don’t like it, I’m sure they’ll tell him, and I’m sure Mal will tell them what he thinks of that.

Haha the GH dot com dot au would be running the paid administrator out of town with pitch forks if they dared to do this with another club! :lol:
And rightly so

If you're being paid by a football club, if your heart isnt in that, you shouldnt be taking a pay cheque from them :lol:

The paid administrator that Botman is talking about is Meninga at the Titans not a GH administrator.

I am with Botman on this. Of course the Raiders will always be close to his heart and he loves our club, but when the Raiders play the Titans his current loyalties would be with the Titans and I have no issues with that.

Correct
I honestly don’t know how GE read that any other way but it was a fun side track to go down

Also if you don’t think there is money under the table deals for GH administrators, I’ve got a plot of prime swamp land to sell you!

Personally, I think a few episodes of The GH On Ice would be ratings hits.

Alright this has got some legs. One of the psychologists turns out to be Nickman in a wig. Ratings bonanza.
