Yes it's not happened in isolation.Managing to position himself off the island when taking a pass from centre was a brainfart of epic proportions even by his standards.

Not had is best of seasons

It is worth mentioning that a couple of people involved with budgets and whatnot are no longer at the club, its not even worth imagining what would have happened to the club if our current board had of stepped down. Mark Moore is nobodies fool, we will be fine with him at the club.

The reality is we are not quite good enough for top 4. 5th place is not a bad effort. Without significant funding we will struggle to mount a challenge for top 4 and can see it only getting harder. As expected if Fev, Hull KR, London and Toulouse make the top 4 it leaves us further behind.
We need a halfback and letting G Moore go in my opinion is a mistake. I thought the new signing was a halfback but instead we get another forward

.
We don't have much money and this is well documented. So to put it into context maybe 5th is not a bad season.

Agree with what's been said. Think we're probably 4 quality signings away from making a real challenge on the top 4. Need a half back, a hooker, a winger and another forward. As much as I like Ben Kaye and Brandon Moore, they're far too slow at the play the ball and it looks so pedestrian, so we can never build any real pressure. It was a breath of fresh air watching AOB at hooker earlier in the season

Like you I think Moore is a good businessman and that he is firmly in charge and it looks like he is having a clear out. I was told by an insider this week (and they may have an axe to grind so its secondhand)

- Ramsey is an accountant and has taken over everything to do with the clubs finances.
- Steele is stepping down from Board at end of season.
- Croad is still very unwell and not involved at the moment, but it was his deals on players contracts and bonus promises that means we have no cash and may be in debt this year if we don't finish in top two.
- The club shop has lost money and we are struggling to get income promised to be paid.
- The lottery team have taken over the lottery (its not been sold as I thought) and will run it independent of the club.
- RM is not happy as he has been asked to cut spend for next season if we finish outside of top four and will still have less money if we are fourth.

I have been told Moore is trying to get a new BOD and this week he was at the Shay talking to two past Board members, one who was a chairman, to try and get them involved. That to me sounds like a good base plan if they will join.

Lots of changes, which sound good, but worried about lack of cash as I can't see Moore putting in large amount.

Sounds like we're on verge of administration without help soon.

I responded in bold and as you say some of the changes will be good, its a real shame about Ian Croad been unwell as he never seems to get the credit he probably deserves in helping the club to keep running for many a year now. Id challenge anyone who thinks it easy to try and make the same commitments he will have had to make. The sad truth in RL that some Fax fans never seem to get their head around is that there is no ambition without a stackful of money and the best we can hope is to get by and still compete, which to be fair we are doing, but until someone with a boat load of money wants to get involved we are in the situation we are in for the foreseeable future. Our current board may "lack ambition" but they are doing a great job of keeping the club alive and Im sure if someone wants to help them out by sticking a few grand of their own money in they would more than welcome it.

Hope you are feeling better soon Ian.

That's a bit of a leap!

Still I'm sure the RFL will leap to help out as equally as they did recently with another club

I do like a spun story from "sources with axes to grind" and "un-named insiders" - always good for a laugh

And so is using a pseudonym to decry a lack of appreciation...
