2.. Shirts will be from a manufacturer not used in RL as yet, but are used in RU and FA, and will not be out for Christmas
3.. Details of rebranding and season tickets will be released at the same time, in a few weeks time
4.. Squad depth was an issue, where there weren't enough players available to cover for underperforming players
5.. Choice not to play Under 20's instead of underperforming players was Rob Powell's, not a condition of loan agreements, and he felt that playing guys he wasn't sure could make the step up would potentially cause them lasting damage
6.. We are at the Stoop for next year, the last year of the current agreement, with negotiations for another 3 year tenancy in progress
7.. Quins RU had the option to buy into Quins RL to the tune of 51% for £1 which they chose not to exercise, and are showing no interest in the RL organisation
8.. I think I heard that the cost of renting the Stoop is 200k per year
9.. A marketing plan is present for next season, including utilising an RL srategic area fiund (France, London, Wales) - Gus expects to contact Gutterfax, should be entertaining
10.. On the road games are part of the marketing strategy
11.. Evening Standard partnership is seen as successful, with - if I heard correctly, a 35% revisit rate after the free ticket
12.. The club did a lot of research on the signings, specifically mentioning (wryly) Gower's off field activities, but countering with only positive feedback on his training, commitment and leadership, and that all of them - except presumably the Crusaders recruits - having been planned for some time.
13.. We expect to upgrade some Under 20's contracts assuming all goes well
I'm sure there's more, but that's all I remember.'"
Much appreciated
Any ideas who this Aussie forward (I'm assuming a prop) is?
Chris Armit?
