    I was under the impression all the caps were for charity but the scoreboard definitely said a whole 5% of the cost of the guernsey went to charity. Why bother?
    I should leave it alone but you're not right

    Obviously it needs revenue sources to maintain itself and it operates in a competitive environment but it's not like it has to worry about it's share price or pay dividends or anything.

    Money matters to keep the club afloat, if that's achieved then premierships are top priority.
    That's true, apparently. We do pay tax on certain things though (pokies, wages), but any profit we make must go back into the club somehow. Money matters not only to keep the club afloat but to also help it stay competitive over extended periods of time. The obvious way to do this is internal expenditure outside the cap.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Likewise. Sour to lose but gut wrenching if we lose a player like Bob.

    Watching the replay it looks more medial/mechanical than a cruciate. Its almost like something locked in his knee. FIngers crossed its a medium term injury.

    The fact that he's had an ACL before and the resigned look on his face concerned me

    Bevo said they're expecting the worst. We can only keep our fingers crossed now.

    I'm hanging on your optimism now Fredi. I so hope you're right as I'm not prepared to accept that this is the end for Bob, like it was for Judd.

    1. Bob can't come back for next year?
    2. If Wood misses a week, who stands in as captain until Wood does come into the side?

    Surely Bob goes the lars option at his age and where we are at?

    Of course but would he put himself through the rehab required at the pointy end of his wonderful career ? Given where we're at he may just think the effort is worth it. He's still playing great football. Anyway let's hope that it's a medial of sorts and not an anterior cruciate.

    Morris will be the captain.
