The sky sports hat is just as tin pot. You are the head of a major UK sport, buy your own clothes, and make them nice. If he walked into my office wearing something like that I would show him where the door is.

You're assuming he'd fit through it in the first place.

Probably in london due to being at twickers yesterday and attending the larndarn game means he can claim his exes

The trouble is we're stuck with him.

It's not like he's going to get a better job & move on.

He's in the job as long as he wants it, unless his health starts to fail due to his obvious obesity.

Maybe the scarf has the power to induce body dysmorphia.

Yesterday was in Wales with the Goats and Daffodils!

I'm more concerned by the size of the head on that Guinness.

He's on well in excess of £200,000 plus nice fat pension pot (£252k a year if the numbers the RFL submitted to companies house are correct) but you're right, easy enough to claim expenses for a jolly with a nice overnight hotel and disguise it as part of the job.
The RFL even appoint their own people incl directors on their remuneration committee.
Pigs at the trough quite literally.

That should be enough to have him ousted from his post surely ?

Its all part of the London conspiracy. David Hughes was hosting him, feeding him Guinness, pies and brown bags of money to get London back into SL. This is how London have received preferential treatment in the past remember.

I hope he wasn't at the union game on Saturday, when if he had wanted to see a Rugby game he should have been at the Red Devils v Warriors game.

Unfortunately he doesn't portray a good enough image for the sport. It's not that he's overweight. It's how he makes himself look with oversized, outdated suits and how he talks to the press and the outside world.

However the biggest failure of his has been to allow the clubs to re-assert their control over the sport after Richard Lewis left.

He's just not credible, for a number of reasons; the major one being that he appears to have no strategic leadership qualities - he just bumbles along, reacting to things. He's a committee man of the old school, and has done nothing to advance the game in a positive way - particularly at a time when the whole sport in this country is in crisis.

His physical condition is appalling - hardly a fitting ambassador for one of the most physically demanding sports in the world - but his obesity is way down the list of reasons that we need a new leader.
