It wouldn't though. It means either sharing the pie fourteen ways instead of twelve or further reducing the pie that is split by everyone outside of Super League. Both are pretty awful ways of utilising whatever little funds the sport has.

If only we had a kicker. That has been said before, if I remember correctly.

Many times Victor many times.

…..but not by any of our recruitment team over the last few seasons!

Funny that innit?

Possibly they are keeping their heads down after the Coleman debacle where they bigged up both Coates and Ramsey’s kicking abilities IIRC. Latter never got a chance to show us what he could do. Former perhaps wishes he hadn’t.

The bizarre thing is Oli is 5th on the all time London goal kickers behind Steve Diamond, Paul Sykes, John Gallagher & Tony Martin. I suspect some behind him like Purdo, Brett Warton & Greg Barwick had better conversion rates.

Greg Barwick was good.

Excellent Centre & when you consider in 1997 we had both Barwick & Terry Matterson kicking goals. Those were the days.

Answer to the final question at the post match interview tells a big story. We really have gone down the not recruiting or retaining route. Who says planning is key to success! I wonder if Eccles is having a think about his own position- next year looks a massive hospital pass to me. As for the impact on all those IMG markers like attendance, local engagement and social media hits - a struggling Championship team will impact on our score for years to come.
