What about bringing back Tribal Voice as an online newsletter (or incorporating it into your Redskins TV) with stories of how teams are progressing, club news and events and even personality profiles? I know you already have a news section on the site, so this could include monthly posts from the refs director and coaching director (which could then form your blogs), a message from the president's desk etc, which would promote and encourage people to keep coming back to the site, and would also allow those former 'skins (like me) to stay in touch. As for the user community, what's the aim? I think you'd get better use if you allowed people to link to the facebook[sup]TM[/sup] page from this website.

Anthony Mitchell's 80th-minute try was the nail in the coffin for the Broncos, but I couldn't help giving him two thumbs up for his effort. It got me thinking about that other former Redskin running around in the NRL, Aiden Guerra. Granted, the guys also hail from Rugby League Club Townsville Brothers - credit where credit is due... Do we have any other big-name celebs?

But what should 2011 have in store for Redskins.com.au? After an absence from the website in 2010, Footy Tipping looks set to return to Redskins.com.au in 2011. I've also got a couple of other ideas that may be worth looking into, including a user-community (similar to facebook) and a "RedskinsTV" section (which was discussed in 2008/2009 but never eventuated). So now I'm going to put it to the members of the club and users of the website... What would you like to see become part of Redskins.com.au in 2011 (or for the remainder of 2010)? Post and debate your ideas below. The best ones (if they are feasible) will be used, the others, well... they may just give us something to talk about! Mon, 07 Jun 2010 12:28:20 +1000 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/4-website-discussion/6-budding-journalists-got-some-news#17 Flash, what's doing? I've been holding out for a 60-seconds since February... Thu, 15 Apr 2010 01:39:19 +1000 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/4-website-discussion/16-club-blogs-now-online#16 There has been a new addition to the features of the Redskins website - Blogs! Don't know what a blog is? CLICK HERE (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blog) to find out. The following blogs have been added to the website: Committee Members: President (Rick Guerra) (/blogs/president)Referees Director (Kerrod Hall) (/blogs/referees-director)Coaching Director (Kelly Condon) (/blogs/coaching-director) Teams: Womens B (/blogs/womens-b) Other: 60 Seconds with Flash (/blogs/sixty-seconds) All members of the site are able to make comments on any of the blog posts. If there are any coaches that would like to have a blog for their team, please let me know (it is a great way to get information out to your team and it keeps people using the website). - Kerrod Sat, 06 Mar 2010 22:13:03 +1100 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/4-website-discussion/6-budding-journalists-got-some-news#15 flash is kicking off 60 seconds next week. i have been hunting my first victim. me thinks it might be a word from the inspiration that drives our fealess president rick. me thinks its helen's honour to kick it off Wed, 10 Feb 2010 21:57:31 +1100 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/4-website-discussion/5-tipping-comp-is-it-worth-it#13 Yeah, that came down to either problems with the website or me getting lazy... While I'm sure that was a contributing factor, I'm doubting it was the real reason why participation fell away... But, if we could get people to commit to the comp, I'd have no hesitation in installing it again.

If you go back to the home page, you will see a default picture under the my.Redskins.com.au heading, click on that and you will be able to upload a new one. 2. Definitely. It's meant to be just under the red bar at the bottom. Just working on getting it to look right. Can you get me a list of the current sponsors? 3. Not yet, but I'm working on something similar to it. I have come across something that will allow us to have a facebook-like feature (complete with status updates, groups, etc, and it will even link to facebook). Just waiting to suss it all out... Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:53:56 +1100 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/4-website-discussion/6-budding-journalists-got-some-news#11 I have a copy of that somewhere here, will have to find it and put it up. Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:44:27 +1100 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/4-website-discussion/6-budding-journalists-got-some-news#10 Kerrod I am sure Flash has something to contribute also there is a photo around of the Redskins Dragon boat - outrigger team which I am sure has a story which can be added too by the members of the team still left available. Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:31:34 +1100 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/4-website-discussion/5-tipping-comp-is-it-worth-it#9 Kerrod I for one used it often however I found that I could only access it ( due to work commitments) at specific times and if it was not updated or active and I missed my window I would miss that weeks selection I vote for it to stay. Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:28:41 +1100 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/2-general-discussion/3-welcome-to-the-new-redskinscomau-forums#8 Kerrod looks great you need to be congratulated, did the login thing went OK cause I am on but not without some confused moments- not good with instructions. Just a couple of things 1. how do you attach a photo to the name of people on line. 2.In the near future we will be approaching sponsors ,is it hard to link them to the Home page as we have in the past-especially Dalle Cort 3. can you Tag feature photos like on face book Fri, 22 Jan 2010 17:22:57 +1100 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/4-website-discussion/7-how-to-reclaim-your-account#7 When the website was upgraded, all user accounts were temporarily removed.

Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:57:18 +1100 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/4-website-discussion/6-budding-journalists-got-some-news#6 With the revamp of the Redskins website, we're looking for news, news and more news! If you know about any upcoming events, results from events, rep player selections or anything that you deserves a bit of attention, please let us know about it! You can either post it in the forums or email the tip or article to me. - Kerrod Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:27:06 +1100 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/4-website-discussion/5-tipping-comp-is-it-worth-it#5 Now that we have a brand new website, we can re-evaluate the usefullness of certain features that we had on the old website, such as the Footy Tipping Competition. When we first added the comp to the website in '08, it was a big hit, was used every week, resulted in some great discussions in the forums and ultimately meant that the website gained a huge amount of popularity. However in '09, the comp consisted of about 20 names, of which there were about 5 that were actively using it. So I guess that I am asking the question... Is it worth having a footy tipping competition on the website? Will it be used in 2010 or will it fall by the wayside again? Let me know what you think... NRL Season 2010 kicks off on March 12, so we still have a bit of time to make the decision. - Kerrod Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:18:18 +1100 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/2-general-discussion/3-welcome-to-the-new-redskinscomau-forums#4 We're now fully operational. As I said, any problems, let me know! Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:03:01 +1100 http://www.redskins.com.au/forum/2-general-discussion/3-welcome-to-the-new-redskinscomau-forums#3 Just a quick note to say hello and welcome to the new forums. The new forum has undergone a major update but essentially is the same system as the previous website used. I'm still not happy with the way the forum looks and I'm working on a new look for it, but that'll come later. If you experience any problems, please let me know! - Kerrod Wed, 20 Jan 2010 19:01:25 +1100
