Quote: Mr Dog "He's strung you along like kippers. Play on your emotions to get a big final home crowd (to ensure off season costs can be paid?) and then say, oh actually it might not be the end - just like final tours by bands. Remember the doubts some had when he first took over considering the reports of his time at the NZRL and involvement with Kiwi Forestry?'"
This is a bit harsh. Yes they pushed the 'last game at Odsal' angle pretty hard, and managed to get a crowd of 7,500 there for a regular league game. I'm sure there were many lapsed supporters there and I'm sure everyone who went enjoyed the game, because we won and we won well.
So to say we were strung along like kippers isn't quite right.
