Sorry, had a busy day (didn't realise I was against the clock though either?!)

Am happy to start the list as you seem to want me to;

1). Brought Rhino to the club


However I'm not in anyway trying to defend Simms (as much as I like the fella), Iain summed up the way I see his time with us almost perfectly earlier this evening;




Can you, or anyone else, give me a list of the tasks which fall within Simms' job description that he hasn't done adequately?

Come on, quickly, I'm waiting???

End global warming.
Feed the world.
Find a cure for the common cold,
Eradicate the threat of Swintonism,
World peace,

Everything you read about Simms suggests Wilky is more than happy with the job he does, JW is a business man and hasn't got time to be doing some of the things chairmen do so I think he relies on SS to do a certain amount of those himself. As others in the past 24 hours have suggested I would question what Dave Tarrys role or more importantly ability to fulfill that role actually is.

Still no sign of a list??

As apposed to trying to have a sensible discussion between Salford supporters, something which doesn't tend to happen at the match, about the way things are going at the club?

I really cannot believe some of our fans no wonder we're in the mess we are and have been for years if fans are willing to accept the dross the club has produced for years. You really do need to wake up and see the bigger picture, the whole of rugby league think we're a joke, players come to the club without having medicals, players have clauses in contracts that no professional player should have. Simms has a lot to answer for as does Mr Wilkinson and the rest of the board.

The club is badly run both on and off the field the sooner people realise that then maybe as a club we can move on.

1. Failed to ensure that players we signed were given a medical. That is a sacking offence on its own.

If Matt Parish comes out and says we don't need a Director of Football because he would happily do that side of the job and the money we pay Simms could go on recruitment would you be happy to support Simms leaving?

Whoever didn't ensure new players had a medical before signing does need to take a good look at himself, the Bailey farce has cost us a quality player and half a seasons dead wages for nothing. For Gods sake London have just signed a brilliant 26 yr old Aussie prop who we'd all have been happy to see playing for Salford and I'm pretty sure that the money we have wasted on Bailey could have been invested in someone like him.

The only kind of discussion this forum entertains in numbers is when something's gone wrong, or the occasional baiting of "W*anky" Warrington fans.

There's no balance to these sensible discussions, very little insight (I don't know what XXX does - sack him/her!) and even less foresight. It's 99% knit-picking, 1% proposed solution.

I get why - we don't win enough rugby matches. If the team did the business, the general attitude on here would be far less drawn to negativity. But alas, we don't.

Why the 'aside from money' stipulation? That's ultimately the difference between the top and bottom of the league.

Money + being well run = success. Fail to have either one of those and you are in trouble. We don't have money so we need to be well run which we are not. Surely you can see that some element of bad leadership is hindering us further than the difficult money situation?

Leeds had plenty of money for years and years in the 70s, 80s and 90s and won frig all. Along comes Hetherington with some sound ideas and a plan (imagine that) for improving things and hey presto.

And are you seriously saying that the likes of Wakefield and Castleford have that much more cash than we do that enables them to get to the play-offs, cup sembo's and generally be far more competitive than us??

Warrington Cullen failure Smith success "same resourses"
Catalan Walters failure Robinson success "same resourses"
