| Well, at least it's a plan.
Would the authorities allow it to be tweaked, if by any chance it was found to have the odd unforeseen flaw? You know, half way through the season like...

| Surely you're not suggesting that a team may "Park the Bus" half way through the season and have a spending spree & 2nd Pre-Season?
Why didn't the Bulls think of that or Leigh.... Oh yes, they were actually competing right until the final round and ensuring the credibility of the game.

It was ever so slightly tongue in cheek really. I was worried that I was being a bit too sensible.
However, it surely must be concerning for the owners that even Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles can see our deficiencies yet the management team seem unable to.

| I would ask if it was wise to take a loan from RL at start of 2015 against 2016 funds in order to fund the 2015 squad in an attempt to guarantee SL for 2016. This will now result in less money for 2016 season and possible part time squad. Should not the club try to live within its means from season to season. Would also ask how much funding is been taken up by employing Ferris and Paul , surely one man can do both jobs. Final question is did he sanction Lee Smith signing with him becoming the highest paid player on the books

| I've asked...
[iThere is a growing number of supporters who are increasingly becoming concerned and frustrated at the petulant and stubborn behaviour displayed by our Head Coach James Lowes, particularly when speaking with the press. This added to a number of players departing mysteriously with many rumours of behind the scenes fall outs and favouritism towards players many fans perceive as not adding much value to the team, my question is… is this really the right man to lead the club back to Super League?[/i
Be interesting to see if any question marks over the way Lowes has coached this season will be addressed.

Clearly Lowes is NOT the right man to lead us, like Corbyn is not the right man for Labour. However, there is not a flurry of better candidates out there.

| Unless we could tempt smith away from wakefield. To the best of my knowledge he has not yet signed a new contract.

It has long been my opinion that this season was do or die. I don't mean that literally as I'm sure the club can survive in the Championship but it certainly means the end of our Super League ambitions. It was a hell of a gamble to throw everything at it especially with Lowes in charge. I would ask Mr Green whether he thinks we have a hope in hell in 2016.

| I think top four is within our capabilities next year. However I would expect 3 or 4 and I think the gap between SL and Championship to be wider.

| Can't believe no one has suggested to ask how much the cloth has been accordingly cut.

A tad pessimistic?
I can see a good argument why Leigh would finish top next season, but what reason would there be for us not to come home in 2nd as we did this season?
The only other full-time teams are either useless (London) or entirely unproven (Sheffield). I suppose there's Halifax, but we ought to be able to best them over the course of a season with our current squad.
I do agree about the gap between SL and Championship widening (unless Koukash takes his money and Salford implode, which is not beyond the realms...)
