By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013
Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

| Some great points there Roofaldo. I certainly agree with the majority of your post.
However, all I will add is that I did not expect miracles this season. Even when we were doing well I was still claiming we were fighting with the two Hull clubs to complete the 8. I never felt we would finish higher than 8th or 9th with that prediction.
As it stands though, we DID survive and we entered the season, admittedly with sanctions, but I am sure the club felt we could offer SL a competitive, if unspectacular side.
We don't have that though. From what I have seen, again, nowhere near as much as most, if not all on here, we have gone far backwards. We knew we were in for a long hard season but too often we have solely been responsible for our own failings both on and off the field. We cannot seem to do the simple basics like kick well, tackle well and retain the ball with consistency. We cannot hold on to leads and deep down we all know that we will let teams back into the game at some point, rather than building on a lead, or, simply maintaining a lead.
At the moment we offer little to Super League and unless we start improving in all areas soon, we might not even be in SL in the next couple of years.

It looks to me like the saviours of our club might not be all they cracked up to be. They kept it afloat, but for how long? '"
Absolutely. Said this pretty much all along.
I don't think they have any interest in the club whatsoever and are merely there to give themselves the publicity.
I could never trust a politician but even then I reckon he is the more solid of the two.

| Quote: Sitting Bull "
MP did not have a field leader, he expected every player, as does FC , to be responsible for their own actions and work together as unit rather than a group of individuals being given direction. This approach developed the team spirit and work ethic that saw the Bulls win games last season (Wigan) and the start of this season. It should also improve on players’ ability in “reading the game” and react accordingly. In the long term aiming to improve the players as individuals and the team’s overall performance.
'"
The players have often referred to a 'leadership group', which I guess means the more senior players. I don't know if this group was ever officially set up or not or whether it was just these players trying to do their bit to help the younger ones. Seems a pity if that has been lost though, whether by being 'officially' disbanded or by simply falling apart.

Did you ever take a look at GS's claimed expenses published on the Internet?
Interesting food/mortgage payments bill.
I don't think either of them are gonna put much in and PUBLICITY,imo,was the driver.
That's why I don't think either have longevity.

Someone at the club told me they are going to bring in Morrison & move Cummins upstairs a la Darryl Powell at Leeds.
