Ronnie many people have been turned of the club and this board not by individual postings but the complete failure as a sporting entity with the marketing, PR and playing ability being atrocious. I suppose we must be grateful for small mercies about this "wonderful" occasion on Sunday. Enjoy it but it just shows how far we have fallen that the few that are left are looking forward to the opportunity of winning what is in effect a consolation prize.

This board is also not about the actual playing of the game and the players but Rugby League in general. Hence I would be entitled to say that in my humble opinion Nigel Wood taking over from Richard Lewis was the worst thing that has happened in a long time for the future of the game.

The mods are Big Graeme, The Penguin and Admin who can be contacted by clicking on their names on the site index (green for BG and Penguin).

They cant be darlings of dave unless they whine in public

Good morning all.

The issues raised in this thread have been brought to attention of the admin, so at this point, I'm going to use this thread to make a few brief points:

• opinions are fine. However, when some posters dominate – or appear to dominate – a forum, it can ruin the experience for others;

• being abusive to other posters is not fine. And 'retard' counts. Indeed, it was a general move from posters across the boards that decided the admin that this was not an acceptable way of people behaving. How about that for democracy?

• something being true does not mean that it cannot also be libellous.

So, please all refrain from abusive language and name calling and try to keep discussions of management's faults 'on topic' and reasonably cool headed.

In short: please play nicely.
