I like Malcolm Speed's name.

 

[Bruce Monteath]

These are two of the best recruits we've had in years. Playing with the big boys now.

 

[The Rusty Trombone]

Very impressive but surprised Mad Tiger didn't nominate. Seriously though , they are impressive appointments.

Go Tigers! Let's back this up on the field .

 

[captain blood 17]

They are top appointments, particulary Speed.

 

[PHX]

Pretty happy about this.

 

[UpTheGuts]

I really like the calibre and makeup of the nominations committee.

Still a couple there who dont offer a huge amount, but this is teriffic.

Speed to be March's heir apparent?

Was thinking similar lines. Smooth succession planning?

[Frustrated Tiger]

Went out with Mal Speed's daughter, damn never knew he was a Tigers man...... Maybe i should of brought it up, i might have hung around longer...anyway, there goes the finals tickets...

It's coming together nicely isn't it.

The low rumbling grrrrr is becoming a growl and will soon be a roar... they will fear us again.

Malc Speed looks to be a good get. That's a good get.

 

[Spagman]

both sound like worthy gentlemen, nice work Tigers.

 

[Dr Awkward]

Malcolm Speed really? That's impressive. Although he was pretty poor for the ICC.

Agreed. He didn't dazzle there.

Not sure Gary March would have fixed all issues on the subcontinent though

 

[T4P]

Malcolm Speed really? That's impressive. Although he was pretty poor for the ICC.

He also took over the NBL when it was at it's peak... he basically screwed up basketball and cricket. I'm not a fan of him and a tad worried.
A case of the reputation being greater than the reality

Don't know about this bloke, no sporting background at all...I guess he's here to fix the books.

 

[Haggard H]

Mal Speed to advise on how to cover up drug/gambling/match fixing concerns - right man for the job.

Carl is originally from Ireland. Played Gaelic Footy. Loves the Tiges as we all do. Has been a coterie member for a couple of years. Nice guy. Very senior role at WHK. Accountant. Will no doubt have his hand on the financial tiller with Rob Dalton.

Haere Ra

 

[rfctigerarmy]

I thought Speed wasn't a very popular man....

 

[Bojangles17]

i was never across that mal speed was a TIGER, Im usuually tuned right into these things. im wrapt to see us add some genuine horsepower to our decision making around the boardroom table...dont underestimate it. This is sport at the elite level, over the course of the year there are any number of decisions that are made that shape the destiny of this great club, the more Hp we have around the table the better outcomes we will yield...just hope they can spare a spot for the ole bojangles once he approaches retirement...I'll be counting on you guys for the support
