There is not enough room for two billionaires and an actor in the same club.

I wonder if rusty told him souffs never pay back the loans they take from him and packer because the club constantly haemorrhages money

Bring back the pokies. That's a money spinner.

I heard that they want to introduce Squid game into the club.

What gets me is how young aussies see this guy as a man of the people. He pays f/a taxes, owns several trophy homes, constantly lobbies the government to bring in cheap labour. Now buying his own team.

Is there a pattern?

- Packer... literally inherited billions (which he's halved/quartered) and snorts it all up his nose. All he does now is 'date' prostitutes for 2-3 years (oh yeah all love buddy, keep telling yourself that while footing their boob job + plastic surgery bills), give them $$$ divorce settlements and hang-out on a boat the whole time (smoking durries and using drugs - last photo I saw there were like 20 empty boxes of durries... him and some random prostitute [sorry 'lover'] were just sitting around chain smoking together... well done mate...)

- Russ... past it actor who's put on 50kg. He'd be loaded from investments and stuff (plus still makes a lot of movies) but I think his days of demanding big coin to feature in movies are over.

- Atlassian dude... with the other co-founder he owns ~90% of a publicly listed company that's valued in the billions. However, it's this random 'project/task management' software house. I dunno! Maybe I'm wrong but I just don't see a lot of growth in that area. I know that people with far more clout in the game think otherwise, but that can change. Not saying it's about to go under (it's still high quality tech stock), but IMO TEAM is over-valued...

Somebody who is stealing from ordinary Australaians?

Perfect fit for Souffs culture - if you can call it that.

Seriously though, the more clashes you can have between big egos over how to run the club the better.

The only risk is that he becomes the man in charge because he know how to succeed.

To be fair, most of his business is overseas and the company's value is just a heap of intangibles. I get that he's an Aussie but I don't buy the line that all Aussies have to setup corporate structures that result in them paying 30% of all profits to Australia. Many of their large subsidiaries are in the USA.

But yeah... I still think it's over-valued. Wouldn't be surprised if a major backer pulled out, his networth became zilch overnight and Google/IBM/HP...etc bought-out Trello et al at fire sale prices.

Nah they're evil because Tim Freedman wrote a song that all the woke social justice warriors latched onto, remember? Casinos are fine though (just to be clear). Nothing wrong with sports betting or owning a heap of casinos though (that or a woke singer songwriter's yet to make a song about it).

[Rooster1908]

These goose's are going to want a refund when they finally punt the vermin for good

[Johnny Tobin]

That bloke fits right in. Goes out of his way to look like a grub.

Much like the way you can't call your horse Phar Lap or Kingston Town, there should be a moratorium on calling your band after well known people or sayings. The one thing that always pissed me off was the band Toad the Wet Sprocket. That's a reference from this Monty Python skit. So Mr. Freedman shouldn't have been able to call his band what he called it.

I was going to call a band I formed at the Rushcutter's Bay Travel Lodge the Sneddens.

Souths are a powerhouse club. Bloody hell 2 billionaire owners & a third who is very well off.
They're certainly on par with the Chooks these days.
I cant wait for Rd 3.
Go THE MIGHTY ROOSTERS.

Indeed they are Mickie. 2 out of 3 went to Cranbrook School and one of them bought the old Fairfax property directly opposite the school.

So Gilligan and the Billionaire won them one (gifted) premiership in 50 years. What is another billionaire going to do? It isn't the EPL.
