Egy: We're gettin' in through the underground heating system and up into the Rollin Shack. Having grabbed Bathy, we inform Carter and Minards that he is in our custody and forthwith issue our demands. Any questions?



Pimpy: What exactly are the demands?



Egy: We're giving them two days to sign the entire NRL winning side, rebuild the old south and west stands and make season tickets £5 and if they don't agree immediately, we execute him.



Pimpy: Cut his head off?



Popcake: What? They'll never agree to that, egy.



Egy: They've bled us red, white and blue. They've taken everything we had, and not just from us, from our fathers, and from our fathers' fathers.



Pimpy: And from our fathers' fathers' fathers.



Egy: And what have they ever given us in return?!



POPCAKE: The floodlights?



Egy: What?



Popcake: The floodlights



Egy: Oh. Yeah, yeah. They did give us those. Uh, that's true. Yeah.



Pimpy: And the new pitch.



Popcake: Oh, yeah, the floodlights, Egy. Remember what the lights used to be like?



Egy: Yeah. All right. I'll grant you the floodlights and the pitch are two things that carter and minards have done.



Pimpy: And the East Stand.



Egy: Well, yeah. Obviously the East Stand I mean, the East Stand goes without saying? But apart from the floodlights, the pitch, and the East Stand--



Ex players dad: new roof on the Rollin Shack.



Person that doesn't go to games: new car park.



All: Huh? Heh? Huh...



Lives in Aus: North Stand



All: Ohh...



Egy: Yeah, yeah. All right. Fair enough.



Popcake: saved the club from bankruptcy.



keyboard warrior: Top 5 finishes.



Pimpy: And we own the ground again, Egy.



Popcake: Yeah, and they certainly know how to balance the books.



Egy: All right, but apart from the floodlights, the pitch, the East Stand, new roof on the Rolin Shack, new car park, the North Stand, saved the club from bankruptcy, top 5 finishes and balanced the books, what have Carter and Minards ever done for us?



Popcake: Brought us a new owner and a future.



Egy: Oh. New owner? Shut up

That's excellent B V Bob



Some of the young ones might not get it though.

Glad I'm an old un , I totally get it and applaud it. Think I might guess what the counter argument will be but on second thoughts we actually know

Excellent stuff.

I'm thinking I might change my user name.

In my younger days I was Poptart but I think Popcake might be more appropriate now.

He's not the Messiah, he's a very naughty boy!

Once a tart, always a tart!

I thought they were old news and we should concentrate on the future. I guess I am incorrect and we can carry on giving an alternative view pointing out their failures which many like to gloss over.

Uh oh. Fun police are here.

Stop laughing please.

Splitters

I think more the reality police because sadly some of you are forgetting or trying to deny the last two seasons ever occurred.

I would suggest however, you don’t read the rugby press tomorrow because it does not make good reading for those still in denial about the club in the past. The new owner points out what is needed to bring it up to date operational both on and off the field. It also confirms the amount of money he will need to invest. If we are returned to SL his ambition will be greater than finishing 10th or 11th and will look to keep hold of players like Batchelor and TJ who basically realised that there was no hope of anything but a yearly struggle under the incumbents.

It was a joke. Based on a Monty Python sketch in Life of Brian. You don't have to get all defensive.
