Hey Frank, welcome back

With all these new staff Does that mean Stuart Duffy will be surplus to requirements of the new regime?

Depends who's temporary and who's permanent.

I got one of the letters regarding claiming back for the season ticket from the credit card and that was signed by Stuart Duffy, General Manager, so he is involved in some capacity.

I will ask again is Damien Irvine involved?
Its better in my view to bring people in that have had nothing to do with failed incarnations of the Bulls,
Inc Duffy and Robbie Paul.
However bring in fresh thinking experienced managerial staff to take us forward.

If Irvine is involved permanently then I’d have expected him to be figuring prominently in press releases etc. If he is up at Odsal it may just be a temporary thing. I’d like to see him on board permanently as the club needs some fresh faces.

I think Duffy must be a reincarnation of Rasputin, bloody hard to kill off!

I think there's a saying for that particular circumstance - something about "throwing the baby out with the bathwater", I think?

There are any number of good people involved with the failed club - even ones in fairly high positions. Somehow, I doubt very much that either of the two you mention really had any great input into how the financial side of the business was run. You can't really start from scratch, or at least, imo you're making it extremely hard for yourself if you do, and it's pointless when there is such rugby expertise already at hand.

Frank has clearly licked his wounds and he doesn't deserve to be constantly reminded of that every time he posts!

Russ is the new Laura Hutchinson. Just had a chat with him about player sponsorship for next year. Sounds pretty competent.

Duffy or Frank or what ever he wants to be known as needs to explain <potentially libellous statement deleted>
