While many people commented that Cockerill is in general a balanced sort of bloke, do not forget part of his income is paid by FOX as their match commentator so he is merely passing off as a neutral journalist when writing for Fairfax. I am sure part of his syndicated piece in SMH / The Age was a simple bait attempt to get some kind of response from the club, and get more clicks / sell more paper.

We already heard - as club members - by email etc from Welnix, and this was good enough for me in the interim. I do not think the licence negotiations should be conducted via media, and definitely not as a response to a provocative article. 

Sure, Morrison, Morgan et al need to talk to FFA, but not as a shouting match with Fox or Fairfax. 

An interview with Simon Hill is another matter - simply to state our position and to untangle all the twisted facts bandied about by FFA.
