A great point that I don't believe the club & staff do - they just say "Well we haven't got the money to do it another way" and so carry on as they always have rather than looking for solutions
For example, our Marketing and Merchandise are poor - especially compared to other similar-sized and even some smaller sporting clubs

And I think this is mainly what Matt Parish is getting at. Rather than look for solutions everyone at the club just says "We haven't got the money." and wants the conversation ended there.

I think he realises the budget for playing staff won't be great but he has to be backed to do what he thinks is best with what we do have, and I don't believe he is getting that backing from those that he should be.

ONE VERY SIMPLE Question Which other Super league club has a Director of Football? Not Wigan/ Saints/

and neither do Manchester United or city

No but United aand City employ a huge number of others to take on the roles such as lawyers, tax experts, etc

"On the issue of no medicals whose door do you lay that at? Surely that is within Simms remit?"

How do you know? ... last time I checked, and I admit it was over 10 minutes ago, Simms was neither Bachelor of Medicine nor Bachelor of Surgery. So he depends (as do all posters) on the professional judgement of the doctors. So get of that case and moan about the actual doctors.

Lance Todd ... I remarked before you are RUINING an name I hold sacred. You should change your name. Please try another fine spotsman ... Colin Bell - but miss out Colin.
I wince when you post as you really are the statue pigeons love.

It is about time we have a vocal coach that airs is views and good on him. We can't continue running the club the way we have for years or we will always be a poor outfit. He is right also when he says we need to start building for future as we don't have a supply of youngsters coming through like every other club. I admire a coach that says how he feels and agree with comments. For me steve simms must go but I can't see wilkinson doing this. Let's pray club listen or we will be looking for another coach
