I guess a stage managed show would have been better and a bit of openness about all the players leaving appreciated.
I was a bit shocked that all the focus was upon Julien given Jason's four years, Karl's eight years and the local boys doing fair stints etc. But our 20 minutes was only a delay before the real event maybe.

All of that is true and I think that the thread header is quite accurate. TBF, it was the players themselves, Kaufusi and Bryant particularly, who made Rinaldi the centre of attraction.
The club's report on the end of season do refers only to 2012 season awards so we don't know if any of the departing players were recognised.
Oh, and The Cowgirls have simply faded away even though the club site said they'd perform at every home game. Not that I think they added much, but that's another broken promise.
Comparisons with other clubs are irrelevant, we've done this stuff better in the past, maybe because we are a "small" club.
