13554.jpg The phrase politically correct is in itself politcally incorrect so should be rephrased politically stupid!
If you like old type radio comedy/ dramas etc listen to //pumpkinfm.com/
Statistically speaking you have a better chance of getting dead the older you get!

A sort of parallel. He like Mick Potter was a first class NRL Player, unlike Mick has got a good NRL cv as Coach , like Mick at West Tigers suffered a lot from political infighting by a dysfunctional board!
Part of his problem though is similar to Nobby he was too loyal to his older senior players which as a group a few should have been moved on, hence Manley not being the force they once were! (that was a problem inherited by Mick at Tigers from Tim Sheens tenure)
Is known to burst blood vessels at perceived and real poor decision making by the Officials and is not shy despite swinging fines at letting them know via the Media, so it will be of interest to see how he copes with the CL level of reffing (that said perhaps F A and the other RAB sponsors put their sponsorship money towards the Geoff Toovey swear box fund as I'm sure it will needed

| As I see it, we've swapped one very good coach for another, but until we see who, if anyone, is being brought into the squad, we're still relegation fodder, imo.
It's still early days of course, the new guys have only just arrived and it will take some time to get people in, so I tend to go with Raging Bull; we could have done with these 'four pointers' further down the track. However they are where they are, so we'll need to get stuck in.

| I am pleased we have early games against relegation fodder. We should be looking to get maximum points against these teams and begin to effectively click in time for the more competitive teams.
In addition we might have clearance for overseas signings by then in addition to quality super league loans.
We can afford to lose only 2/3 games in the campaign to give us a chance of qualifying for the play offs.
Aim for the top. Nothing is impossible.

It makes no difference what we would like, to be fair - it is what it is, but I can't see any logic in [iactually wanting[/i to play our most important games when we are at our weakest. As you correctly point out, we should be hoping o to pick up maximum points in these games, as things are we are likely to pick up very few.

As it stands the "relegation fodder" very much includes us and you can bet your bottom dollar those teams will be busting their balls in their own must win games. I think Sir Geoffrey of Tooveyshire is in for the mutha a of all shocks.

Great idea, lets just ask the RFL, I'm sure they could rearrange the season for us - we are their favourites after all
KR said they want to help us - so this would be a start
In fact, if we play all three KR games in the first weekend they might actually get that 10,000 crowd (in total)

Wombat is Mick Gledhill. An alternative fact you were unaware of.
