icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

| Wood is a liability - he is Hetherington's proxy. He doesn't have the skills or the presence to drive the game forward. It is his job to make sure the game is properly funded, participation levels are high and media exposure is correct. He has failed on all counts.
Your a major corporate sponsor who has been to the gym at crack of dawn before starting work and in rolls 25 stone Nigel asking where are the cakes!! It isn't going to happen - his physical presence is an embarrassment at any event he attends representing the game. We are a sport which demands extreme levels of physical fitness - pity the CEO doesn't practise what he preaches.

| Arf!
I live in Wiltshire, and my experience of people's knowledge of RL is much more akin to Perry's than Mr. ZH.
God, it was infuriating to walk into my local after the GF and find everyone talking about Ben Flower and 'thugby'. Which they'll have largely have picked up from the tabloids, of course. But yeah, as I've remarked before, even people who would consider themselves sports fans would struggle to clearly explain the difference between the two codes, and correctly name well-known league and union clubs.

| His ability to do the job should be/is the primary factor. It just so happens he's useless at it so it ends up leaving him open to slights about his size.
From my recollection his voice betrays his size. Anyone would think he's a 5 stone wet through mr muscle type character. He doesn't even sound like he convinces himself he's doing a good job.

| The RFL is ungovernable.
It's a classic situation of the tail wagging the dog.
There are a few SL clubs that are sucking the game dry and the devil take the hindmost as far as they are concerned. If they say jump, the rest of the game in this country says "how high?"
It isn't helping the game at all in this country.
The "new changes" still only benefitted the few and they ensured they got their pound of flesh before anything else.
The whole structure of the game in this country needs changing from under 5's to the international teams. IMO it's a shambles, with no one at the tiller.
It needs a complete change of mindset. RL used to pride itself on its egalitarion attitudes and fairness. Sadly it's become more elitist than the RFU ever was.
The game is still best contact sport on the planet, but we cannot/will not promote that fact. The game on the field needs very few changes , if any, but off the field.........
There must be some young generation, qualified sports administarion with degrees, who love the game who would relish the opportunity of taking the game forward. Sadly the money goes to clubs to pay crocks over the odds for minimal return IMO. Just imagine what a good administrator could do with the opportunity.
If only.

Sally Bolton. Whom the RFL let go while Wood claimed credit for all her good work on the RLWC. He was clearly smart enough to see she'd show him up every day and probably bust a gut to make sure she didn't hang around.
