That's why I asked the question again last night ? Rob did a brilliant side step when I asked it on Sunday (better than any in his playing days)


Personally I think he could still have a few good seasons for us, but his enthusiasm for his new role seems to have first priority and to be honest I feel as much as he is/will be missed on the field, his new role is far far more important for us.

Do none of the other players have full time jobs

See post 9

Fair do's, although I disagree with your opinion. If he is fit, without doubt he needs to be on the pitch. Would suggest that is more important for the next couple of weeks - we need a leader on the pitch at the moment, and a couple of weeks wont make or break the inroads he is making in his off field role - IMO of course

I agree. I would imagine that Rob's contract for this season was as a player, with the BM role added.

It would be great to have him on the pitch in the play offs and if it was not for his back Im sure that's where he would have been AND where he would also have rather been.
The question for me though is this, "IF" Rob wasn't injured and still playing, would he have been as active in his new role ? I know we wouldn't have seen him at a few events before the match and it is his link between the fans and the new BOM that has been a big part it what so far seems to be a new and exciting revival at the club.
Andy Mazey is also deserves a mention in this new found enthusiasm to make the fans feel more involved with the club, but with all due respect, it's Robs face/name that the fans knew and I can't think of anyone else who would have done better.
