Does anyone know if the old rumour that Steve Waugh is a WT fan is true?
If so, he'd be a great candidate

What about Scott Sattler for the board?
He was heavily involved in the GC bid and then was their Football Manager, currently runs his own private investigation and risk business and is on SEN.

I think he lives in the Gold Coast, but I'm sure he could fly down for meetings.

Waugh is Bulldogs
Michael Clarke is Tigers
Here's someone I hadn't considered before and think they'd actually be pretty good for our board.
Mark Geyer
He'd bring a lot of footy knowledge to the board
He'd be a big help with recruitment
Would be solid support for Benji
Brings a lot of media knowledge and exposure
Very smart
What do you think?
