    I have no control over that account.
    I'm not sure its necessary anymore - seeing as we can now send documents via PM in TS, we can just use that - assuming everyone is ok with that idea.

    Great idea, would it be possible for the person (who owns a Sony xperia Pro according to my failed logins) who can get into the account to check for any documents which we may need?

    At 8.24pm AEST, Gisborne's media team called a shock press conference. Gerard Robinson has shared his exclusive insights from the surprise announcements all thanks to ORFFU MEDIA. Read on to find out more

    The ORFFU is a competition that never fails to surprise. But, I doubt we have ever had a surprise this big. After Gisborne's media rang up all local media outlets to garner an audience for their media conference, rumours started flying. Some said that the coach was going to make a shock retirement, others said that they may be buying Network 10. Nobody expected what followed.

    "It has been decided", began the chief of media, "that we will rename and rebrand the Gisborne Grenades franchise as the Gisborne Liam Jones'. It's yuge. Never before has the ORFFU had a team change it's name mid-season; we count ourselves as pioneers in this area. Our shareholders all agree with this decision, and the town has agreed to embrace their new hero as the mascot for the team. We have the best Liam Jones; our Liam Jones is simply the best."

    Following this short statement, the reporters all clamoured to ask questions, but understandably Gisborne relatively guarded in their responses. The questions 'Why has the name changed?', 'Why did you pick Liam Jones?', 'How bored are you?', 'What does the team think?' and 'Will Gisborne make finals on the back of this' all received the simple reply of "Yes". The only question that got further embellishment was 'What does Lachie Neale think of this?' to which the media manager explained Lachie's relief at "not having to carry the team" and noted Lachie's "good energies and vibes".

    - Gerard Robinson, lead sports writer at ORFFU MEDIA

    In light of the above, I vote that @Tomster Gisborne be obliged to only field players with the name Liam Jones, and all other players are henceforth ineligible to play for the club!

    Hahahahaha
    ohhhhhhhh :oops::oops::oops::eek::eek::eek::(:(:(

    The Coolgardie Prospectors in no way endorse this kind of behaviour.

    In all seriousness, its terrible that these kinds of things are still happening today. We never experienced anything like this when we traveled through the goldfields earlier this year, fortunately!

    :eek: Those feral evolutionary throwbacks would be enough to make you consider relocating the club!

    Reports have it that the Gisborne management team have taken action to strip Liam Jones of his "golden boy" title. He has returned to spud status. Lachie Neale likes this change.

    @JPK Do the top 4 still choose their first round finals opponent? I've never made the finals before so legitimate question :cool:

    I'll need to check... ummmm....
    Currently on holidays so if someone else finds an answer before me, that'd be mighty helpful.
    You'll be pleased to know that my wife and I are currently drinking a great Cab Sav, and not any cream whiskys!!!

    Why did we change that? I'm assuming it was a majority vote against. I personally liked it - fair reward for a good season. Late season injuries, restings, suspensions, etc. can change everything.

    I actually can't remember voting on it. I would have liked to create some ORFFU history with a derby final, guess I'll have to wait and see if I face off against Nuytsland.

    I'm a move that appears organised by the eastern ORFFU block the MRP has seen fit to suspend Duncan for a week after the Sandgropers have already lost Jelwood for the season. Our premiership dreams still have a pulse (thanks Simmo) but it's going to be tough. @bryzza's Vikings have fared little better losing Grundy for two weeks. In further news @wrightbrendan's Buffaloes will have to do it without Mummy & Zerrett. Carnage all round for the top 3 sides!

    I'm crying foul. Somehow @JPK knew Mummy would be missing for our finals clash so he conveniently swapped him over to my side of the tracks!
