The club confirmed on Tuesday that list boss Glenn Luff and national recruiting manager Mark Finnigan had resigned, while SEN’s Sam Edmund reported national recruiting officer Ben Birthisel also handed in his resignati
In a show solidarity with the staff who have done half the job and left mid season, Booney decided to only complete part of the word 'resignation' in his post.

If there's a good time of year to not complete a word, it's this time of year.

I don’t understand this

They returned from Perth, was he on board the plane a parachuted out when over Adelaide or he just didn’t board the plane with everyone else and nobody noticed? Or he landed in Melbourne then flew to Adelaide?

North are copping it, some would say rightly so, I had a look last night at who they have played in the first 11 rounds, they've played the top 8 sides and Port who are a game out of the 8, no wonder the average losing margin is so high.
