It has been reported that:

" "Mary's" appointment comes as some appeasement for the Illawarra faction of the joint venture, who were upset that St George aligned Brown and Barnhill ousted former coach Andrew Farrar."

If this is true than the club have some explaining to do. Why didn't the board stand up to these bullies? Farrar was out of his depth and had to go, no one can argue against facts.

If recent events that have shocked our world have taught us one thing; It is that you can't give into the demands of people who are self centered and care not for the well being of the community.

Time to face your demons Mr Doust. Time to wipe out this "US and THEM" mentality, we are "one dragon united, the St.George Illawarra Dragon!!". Or so you preach. WELL! time we act like it. It all starts at the top and right now this puzzling appointment has many keen followers of the game mystified.

Although armed with plenty of experience, Paul has very little to offer the team. This was proven by his performances in the twilight years of his career which were riddled with errors, wrong choices and selfishness. Qualities you don't want to bestow on our team.

This appointment brings to light the problem this Joint Venture simple can't or isn't willing to solve. The lack of trust and the dictatorship-like attitude sometimes exhibited by the Illawarra half. On the surface it may appear we are one but decisions like this not only contradict that philosophy but also tend to add cracks to the already fragile mask that is the St.George Illawarra.

Time for leadership has yet again presented its self and once more you've chosen to ignore it. Be a leader, that's all I ask. After all, that is your job.

I push no religious, scientific, philosophic or mercenary point. My interest lies solely in establishing the Truth and what is best for our club.

As the Romans used to say, Amicus Plato, magis amica Veritas.
