help_shiny Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 RL in this country needs a bloody good shake up and if it takes a big mouthed self publicist to do it then why not? He is Palestinian, not from Kuwait and no idea why someone thinks he's jewish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palestinian Jews, no. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_Palestinian_territories 17% of the West Bank are Jewish. (If 17% of the UK was Jewish, we would have 11.7 million Jews in this country as opposed to the roughly 1 million we do have). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nzlatic Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 (edited) Tomkins will never go there as long as I have a hole in my arse, he's joining your local NRL team I believe. Mummy's already been out there to look at the set up etc... Misleading username, moved back from NZ a while ago, on the south coast now. But interesting to hear he could be heading over there. I've lost touch with the NRL since coming back as it's not readily available on tv here. Pity. My concern about what he said about Tomkins is someone coming in and talking about signing big name players. The next owner here needs to invest in the club infrastructure, not spout off about expensive signings. If we can build slowly with the right backing then there's no reason we can't make progress upwards. Edited June 18, 2013 by nzlatic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
help_shiny Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I dont think he's mega rich although owning loads of racehorses normally indicates a certain level of affluence. Richer than our current one that's for sure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lancy lad Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 :censored: it, Im bored of surviving. Lets have 5 years of success then call it a day! I'm with razza on this. I can't understand why anyone would be wary, its not as if TTA have made us comfortably secure for the forseeable future. Every season we start by talking budgets and "we need a cup run". There has been times when we have been unable to pay salaries and such AND barring a few fantastic cup wins, we have suffered years and years of the same old dross being constatly dished up. Lets hope this happens and it may just change our fortunes. Yes, it could all go tits up and yes we could go bump if it wasn't to work, but that could be the case anyway.
