Hancock T/O, page-148

Ever since Strike entered the Perth Basin, the majority of STX shareholders have been more than happy with the professionalism of SN and his fellow directors. They are the best management team I have encountered.

It was Strike's proposed merger with WGO that precipitated the current moves by Warrego, Beach and Hancock. SN and his advisors would not have acted rashly - their past modus operandi backs this claim. While we have become absorbed with the intentions of Warrego, Beach and Hancock, Strike seems to have become the forgotten player. As in the past, I am sure they are working to a plan and they have all known contingencies covered.

The company always stated they were in for the long haul. We knew this day would come. I am still a believer in the fertilizer concept - it is winner on so many levels. How Strike staves off the takeover, and what compromises have to be made is anyone's guess. I have absolutely no idea what is going to happen (just like 100% of HC posters) but I am confident SN and the team are working to a plan.
