We do have a media and marketing team who are media and publicity shy, so what would anyone expect, it takes too long to put a press release together, too much effort to pick up the phone to a Journo, the job is ideal for somebody who couldn't careless about the club or the new ground or most importantly the fans.
So there we have it, the press officer is too busy to do their job or there would be a plethora of press releases at the local and rugby newspaper offices, or is the truth that the press just ignore them?

You have to say that the MEN and advertisers coverage is very negative and poor imo and perhaps man power players a part in the clubs efforts

Are you really all getting stressed about a twitter comment? Weren't we signing Michael Jennings based on a rumour on twitter...?

Stop being so f****** negative and pessimistic. We are moving to a nice new stadium, have made a couple of good NRL acqusitions and (currently) have a coach who, in my opinion, is the breath of fresh air we needed. Yet some of you are stating that he doesn't want to be here and literally has lost the dressing room, based on rumours.

I heard from my friend's dog's brother's owner's parrot that Elvis is alive.....so it must be true.....

Got a tweet yesterday off a journo from the Sydney morning herald who said it was all pure speculation and parish had spoke to no one from Manly in regards to the job.

Matt Parish has a contract with us.

For what it's worth I think he has the makings of an excellent coach at Salford, though I do wish he had a bit more talent at his disposal.

These message boards seem to be all doom and gloom these days, and though we all enjoy a good rumour we do need to keep them in perspective.

Overly critical messages mask the odd truth though, as I do think the club needs to be more aware of the media and feed good news stories to those of us who have the club in our hearts. As has been mentioned the only story we've had in the RL press is about Luke Patten becoming a referee, and he had denied that before it was even published in League Express. Otherwise nothing, and we should be being reminded of the new stadium until we're sick of it!!

The banner read 'In Matt we trust'. I still do.

The current doom and gloom on here is terrible. Granted, the apathy on here is down to over a decade of underachieving, we had some success under Gregory and Harrison, but that was far too short lived. Then all the goodwork Harrison did behind the scenes was undone by McRae. If press releases are to believed, we can thank Parish for raising McRae's poor standards! If nothing else.

So here we are, a new coach brought in to do a job, Matt Parish. Was he given assurances the club hasn't delivered on, promised new players? Parish might want new players, but last season the board invested heavily in the current squad. That current squad, plus Cashmere, seriously underachieved last season. Prehaps, our new conditioner can bring some of that Wasps know how with him, and turn our players into man mountains.

The new recruits form Aus both come with good reputations, Jordan James is a good defender and should be good signing for one or two seasons. I know Boyle improved on his first season, but my main worry is why we can get more out of a real 'Steady Eddie' type player than we can Sidlow. Sidlow has far better skills and more size than Boyle, but gets exposed far too often, whetther in defence or attack. Maybe one of the coaching staff should be pointing out, if he wants another contract and to stay in the professional game, he needs to pull his finger out. Unless he wants to go and get himself a proper job. Sidlow and James, together, could be a scary looking pair of starting props.

If you wnat to cheer yourselves up, go and look on the Hull FC forum. Not that I'm taking delight at FC's troubles, but McRae is once again proving just how inept he is. Since McRae arrived they have Aspinwall, convicted for driving offences, and Seymour, a recovering alcoholic. You can blame our board for signing him to such a long contract, but at least his continuance of failing, appears, to be carrying on at Hull. Demonstrating many of our problems were down to McRae.

"a recovering alcoholic"

surely this deserves applause and support?

Yes, apart from he's just been caught drink driving and his whole VISA could be in jeopardy?

Nothing against the man, just an indication of McRae working his magic in the transfer market, again!!!!

Seymour was signed by Agar and the old board.

HTH

Without using any direct quotes,an interesting last paragragh in rlthis press reportrl

I stand corrected. Although, the new board, thus far, don't seem to be doing much better.

Although that adds nothing to the overall rumour as it's been written by the same guy who tweeted the rumour two days ago.

and it is tomorrows paper, just looking for tonights lottery numbers

just a rehash of his original tweet ..
Obviously Dean Ritchie is the Neil Barker of the Aus Telegraph .

anyway here's the tweat in all its gory glory , and a couple of homes truths in there ...

Would the LF in the ter feed above be the ring piece that is League Freak?
