Who is more important to you - Tony Smith or Simon Moran?

I would think him putting his hand into his pocket has been the biggest turning point you have had. You've still got the best coach in the league mind.

Quote: sally cinnamon "The odd thing with this is Cullen was not a weak character. He was not afraid to lay down the law with other people at the club, media etc.'"


That nearly made me laugh out loud! A few people will know why you posting that is funny!

Simon Moran.

Tony will move on at some point and we'll have to find another coach. There are other coaches out there and emerging all the time. If we are smart we might get one as good as Tony. Should Simon decide to move on though, there aren't other wealthy people like him queuing up to take over RL clubs so unconditionally and with so much passion for it. Look at the Bradford debacle.

Quote: Ulster Wire "I'd really like to get to know Tony's methods more although I realise that won't be possible.

For example did he come in and stamp his authority and put an end to the drinking culture (assuming we had one) by laying down a hard and fast rule about it immediately.

Or did he come and just start tweaking the culture at the club. Did it get to the point where the players made what they thought was a conscious choice to be more professional in that aspect as if they didn't they wouldn't be in line with the wider professional culture at the club?'"


I know enough about some of the things he did that prove it wasn't a case of culture tweaking or left to conscious choice. He put in some very hard and fast rules!

Notable that from that May 2009 HRK game we still have 11 of those players that make up our regular 19 man squad.

Agree - Simon Moran.

However are we as reliant on him financially as some think? He isn't funding losses at the club out of his own pocket because with his and others influence it runs on a relatively equal footing.

I guess the point a I am trying to make is that if he did move on it would be loss but with what he (and others again) have built it wouldn't start unravelling like at Bradford.
