I would suggest player logistics is football manager.

I'd seen Phil at the training ground but the club wouldn't confirm what he was doing there when I asked.

Spoke to Phil yesterday at the Magic Weekend and he mentioned he'd been helping with recruitment, which must be a good thing solely on the amount of time he's been in the game and the level he's played at.

The experience he'll bring to the club could be invaluable.

With a decent coach and some good recruitment by Bailey (Keep Powell away from this ) in the area we all know where the problems are, we can get into the playoffs in 2013. We have a lot of good players and some good youngsters who are getting better.

DH also needs to have a word about the fixtures next season to ensure we can get some early points and a decent start.

You're right about the fixtures, Snoopy. We all know we've got to play all the big teams but you would have thought they might have come up with a slightly easier run of fixtures for what is practically a new team (think we may have had a hand in getting Sts first up which we fans knew was a mistake!).

I still can't get my head around how we made such a promising start against Saints and have petered out to where we are now. Thing is, we've got reasons now for losing matches as we are without so many of our first choice players, but we had no excuses for how shocking we were against Salford, Widnes etc. This is what pains me. TBH, I can't see us in the play-offs anytime soon and it hurts me to say that, believe you me.

Rooster you can't blame Aussie coaches being wary! hope Phil may start to help make changes in that!

What's Bailey's track record? Is he going to be in charge of contract negotiations? How will that go with his brother being on the staff?

Are there any other family members we'd like to bring on board? Chris Melling's had a kid hasn't he, let's see if he would like to become our new office manager. Perhaps next week Luke Dorn's wife will be the new attack coach.

Am I the only one left baffled by this?
