It is an unwritten clause of the contract (in order that the RFL can deny any such arrangement ever existed in the event of death by starvation)that the employee buys 24 jam donuts on each and every such aforementioned shopping trip as amended by clause subsection 99b.(written as we speak)

Unbelievable. RFL giving us the full backing by taking our staff now. Not enough that they register our players to other clubs they now take our coaching staff as well. If the RFL are the guardians of the game then I'd rather have Jimmy Saville in charge of the local nursery

I see. So, then, Wardle, Hellewell and Naughton - how did they achieve the standard they did if all he did was talk a good job?

Rubbish - them kids left for money, nothing else

Seems some of them wanted back too after finding out the other side wasn't as rosey.....

Difficult to know isn't it? Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but without any 'insider' knowledge, we fans generally take an overview and just see the overwhelming good.

Don't know a thing about our 'inquisitor', of course, but it all sounds very personal and I suspect he may have been some kid that Medders had the unfortunate task of telling that he wasn't good enough.

We've had this before with an ex-junior coming on here and moaning about the coaches [specifically McNamara], and it turned out he was exactly the same, Macca picked others before him so he slated all the youngsters that Macca had chosen ahead of him and Macca himself.

I felt the same about the music teacher who chose someone else to take the solo and not me.........good job there were no msg boards back then

I'm sure that if you looked hard enough, you'd find someone willing to claim that Trevor Foster was overrated, Keith Mumby wasn't all that, and Karl Fairbank was a bit of a wuss.
