having worked in the office previously, i feel i need to stick up for everyone involved in the club as they all pull together and help each other out. this makes sticking to a job description very hard, but is unavoidable when you have 3 or 4 people doing 6 or 7 people worth of jobs.

with regards to how much one person could achieve in marketing, well they could achieve quite alot. the jobs that yob mentioned all fall under marketing banner, but to be honest i personally feel sponsorship in a sports club should come under the commercial managers job as it is such an important aspect. it often involves quite a hard sell, experience and alot of time and effort.

with regards to things like PR, internet marketing, promotions, design, personal selling (in the form of going round the schools, shops, stalls etc) and direct marketing, well this could all be archived by one person as long as they hard a good work ethic and they knew what they were doing.

however the key here is that one person would only be able to do all these things in a basic, but very professional, manner. in my opinion that is all the club needs right now as they have the team doing all it can on the field, and there is no better selling point from an ad man's position than a product that works, and works well.

the other main thing is that this person would need to be able to concentrate on their sole duties. as i said earlier that is made hard in an office where there are many more jobs than people.

if these basics can be done then i personally feel that crowds can increase significantly, at least enough to make their appointment worth while. however at present, the current office team works very hard, has some very gifted volunteers, and should be helped as much as possible from fans who have time and talents to offer. yes sometimes volunteers can cause a few problems, but nothing that couldn't be managed. the alternative of having no volunteers is a much more severe negative.

leigh looked to be trying throughout the game and played without any dirty tactics.

Some of the tries we scored came from real individual brilliance, and when i watched them on the courier website were SL quality. I don't agree with an assessment that there are any easy wins in our league any more.

Must have been watching a different game to me then. Were constantly throwing high shots, and petty things like grabbing Frankies hair. That is their game plan though - same as last year.

And the year before that.....and the year before that.....

some of the tries we scored at the weekend were of a high calabre i was especially impressed with 2 of them particaulaly the beswick flick pass to send greenwood under the sticks at the start of the second half that is difficult to do and even more difficult for greenwood to take hold of being so close to beswick when he made the pass.

the second one was the ben black chip over the top to himself that was a play that you here stevo call for on a regular basis on super league coverage when games are tight or a team has run out of ideas it is a very difficult skill to do on the run and the touch of it to get it short enough to reclaim it is difficult to do well done to him for thinking of that and executing it really well as well.

some good super league standard tries scored at the weekend need to keep that going into this weekend against barrow.

Not sure that's true. Think some Bulls, Wigan and Saints fans got bored.
