I thought that if you abstained from a vote it was automatically a YES vote.
You just try and poke holes in everything.
You were in the meeting, and would know that there was a ballot paper, I held on to mine, so it couldn't be counted.
Why does anyone have to justify if and how they voted. Hence why it is known as secret ballot.

Time to move on, subject is getting boring.

Foal what is happening down Picton way, serious chance to take the title or not? You have a fairly healthy roster. Looking forward to the clash at Community next week
Rusty, I'm not one for bold predictions, but I think we can match any team on our day and with our full roster. I don't want to get too hung up on Michael lett, but after one game I can see that with him we have the individual spark that we've lacked since Will Dreves moved on. With Chris Young leading a mobile, fit, tough forward pack we're pretty solid in the middle too.

One thing I'm really pleased about is what seems to be a renewed attitude in our reserve grade squad. Last night with no game on this weekend we had over 20 Reggie's players at training all with smiles on. And there's some quality there too. So we look like having some real depth that hasn't been around since '09.

Again, I won't be too bold, but at this stage I expect both grades to make the 5 and they should both be competitive in September. I don't know about our 18s now their comp has been split but they have some very good young players too.

How's the dragons gonna be? Horror injury toll I hear. Will you be able to bounce back?
Its been tough back in the top grade and injuries haven't been kind to us. We picked up a front rower, Ryan Rogers who played some lower grade at Souths so hopefully he fills the void left by Esky's injury. We are looking at a half,5/8 but not sure where that is up to. Not the Trotters they are locked into Cabramatta, they would be handy to have. If we can get a couple of wins that changes everyones attitude so the next few weeks leading into the second round are critical.

The club is starting to get a few back and had a squad of 19-20 training for reggis last night so that's a plus given our lack of numbers over the past couple of weeks. It will be interesting on our next away game if they all stick together.

Interesting to see where all the Eagles players going. We spoke to Camden last week and they said they had enough players, but I guess you cannot knock back quality. If they pick up all those players they will be handy. The big thing is keeping an eye on your own points and whether the clubs can afford all these players. Must be some good sponsors floating around out there to be able to sustain the supposed match pmts. Dunley wasn't interested in coming to Mossy. Its amazing that 45mins down the freeway that players struggle with, plus I guess its 10 degrees colder

I'm hearing Ben Baker signed with Mittagong today..... If so that's MASSIVE!

Can only imagine how dangerous he will be running off both Scotty and Ryan Borg!
I can say its 100% a done deal and rumor is he has been cleared to play this weekend for mittagong
He would of been at the jets, the team had a vote last night at training and the majority of us voted him to stay there were a few players that didn't want him there one of them was gallant anyway good luck to Ben he will have a great year down mittagong, well done to mittagong on getting him down there, that's a good addition to their backline with the players like the Borg brothers, Warwick carter and young Matt Thorpe
As good that he is Baker was not wanted at Jets. The Committee, irrespective of the players wishes, decided that he was not required and have faith in the players they currently have.

I doubt it. The clubs' vote against them was pretty overwhelming.

Speaking to people who were at that meeting and voted - the majority were not assured that Eagles would abide by the rules that the other clubs were following.

Even with a change of administration Eagles would still have the same puppet master.

Some of the stuff I have heard the past 2 days about a certain individual does not sound good (and these sources no longer have anything to do with Eagles)

Mittagong may have got themselves a great new fullback in Baker. But what about there local talent on the left wing Ash Brown. Surely he is a contender for the group side?

That is the most ambiguous statement I've seen on here and that's saying something.

I'm comfortable with my decision last night, and if anyone wants to ask the way I voted, go ahead, PM me and i'll let you know.
I asked a question last night, and I think it's valid.
Eagles played in round 4 vs Camden. You guys won, and won well, but what changed between Round 4 & 5?
The delegates couldn't give a clear answer. I really just want to know.
If the Eagles had've turned up to play in some capacity last Sunday we wouldn't be talking about this, because ultimately the clubs (not management) lost faith In the Eagles, and they felt that the Eagles couldn't be trusted to turn up in future fixtures.
Ringing Ray Hadley and blaming Hazo is pretty poor form. You should be exploring the appeals avenue, not pointing fingers.
Hazo must be the most powerful man in group 6, because he has managed to get all the clubs to vote you out. Think about it guys.
Every time someone gets on here and questions the Eagles, you try and troll them, and try and build this Us vs Them approach, which is not good, you are not getting to the core of the problem, and you are not taking things on board.
I had a member of the Eagles call me on Tuesday arvo asking for advice on how they should tackle the situation, and not one thing I mentioned to him was acted upon.
Everyone I have met and dealt with at the Eagles loves the club, and they are passionate about football, and more so their club. But sometimes passion clouds your judgement, and honestly I think it has killed you guys because you got stuck on the wrong path.
Gary and Richard tried their level best last night, but ultimately (and no disrespect intended) they weren't the right men for the job.
If you had your time again, a different approach would have worked wonders.
Really good to be back, I had the best holiday but i have to feel for all the players, supporters, officials, and sponsors that has been let down by this ridiculous decision, I couldn't of asked for two better people to represent our club, did they get the opportunity to get there point across? No matter who attended that night, the Group 6 management was going for that outcome!

You ask the difference from Round 4 to Round 5, they again Changed the Rules, and you should know this TC as like they done at Thirlmere, they changed the rules from us having 320 points to 250 points, when asked where in the rule book does it say that, the Group 6 Management reply was "it doesn't matter, we just made an executive decision, we can do that" very fair practice 10 minutes before Reserve Grade kick off!

So the rule from Round 4 to Round 5 was; we now don't have a junior club, Campbelltown Eagles and East Campbelltown Eagles in there eyes are two separate clubs, mind you the Campbelltown Eagles constitution states they are the Senior Club to the East Campbelltown JRLFC, but they can change the rules as they stated!

Over the past weeks we have sat players out, ran out with players playing 2 games backing up, all in aid of management pointing our players incorrect!

An example was used Craig Moustakas at the meeting, We never said Craig was a Junior, but he played 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013 for our 1st Grade side, in Group 6 not Bundy Cup, but hey, this years rule now states our club has only been in the comp for 2 Years, lets make him 25 points, Our clubs record games played junior Steve Harding came back at 40 Points, and the list goes on!

I'm all for the points system and playing all my junior years at one club makes me happy to bring juniors back home and that's what we did, we loss Lala Neemia, the Lahey Brothers, Dreves and Ben Weir, we bring in 3 Sauvao Brothers that played 32 years between them and not one was recognized as a Junior, what's the use having a point system if you can't manage it correctly?

Why send the points out 2 days before round 1, look how Penrith does there points, 2 Weeks before Round 1, clubs have 1 week to go over them, and the opposition has a week to look over them, the whole points has been so badly done.

And yes Disco, we sat with the Group Management and got nowhere, we got documentation from Wests Magpies and got nowhere, we got documentation from Wests Juniors and that's when we where told, we are separate clubs, no difference to Camden Rams JRLFC and Camden Rams RLFC, (used Camden as an example only)

The funny thing is, and not only was it said to me by Graham Andrews but said to other members of our committee, "you are a superpower and we are going to do something about it" well they did just that, why not just tell us to play a higher level and let us be on our way, why wait for Round 5, pretty gutless don't you think?

What about when they slandered our club for the so called forfeit in the Under 18's against Camden, again typical dramatic accusations by Group Management, the game was played, we could of played with 9 players to stay under the points that week, we played 20 but handed the win over to Camden as we said we didn't want to see 18 year olds miss out, we got hammered by Group 6 Management saying what we done wasn't in the spirit of the game, sorry I don't know where playing our guys just to get a run wasn't in the spirit, they played, funny how what they have done kicking our club out looks in the spirit of the game! Work that one out, they didn't care about the poor 18's on Wednesday night!

People have been asking about our side of the story, there it is! Would you want your club treated this way?????

And no Disco, it's not an attack on the Group 6 Management, just the facts, happy for them to reply, the only reply you will get will be from Pastrami or Yoda, wonder why?

Seems you guys were hard done by and Rd blocks at every angle, would have been hard to manage and I agree it was done in a poor timely manner, should have all been done in the off season these new rule changes.

It seems City Roos are now going to cop the same rulings so the Group saves face on the Eagles ruling changes. Wonder how it will effect City and how their management react???
