Perhaps he thought I was slighting the entire Tyke Nation?
& I still don't get the prevailing "Be Nice to Gus" vibe.
& yes ignoring him counts as being nice.

So you think the set up as it is offers the club a viable self sustainable future do you? ![CRAZY d040.gif](images/smilies//d040.gif)

Depends if other investors see the quality facilities at The Hive and decide to invest. Maybe we could do a Salford if potential investors see the untapped London RL market and facilities already set up at The Hive. Who knows, but best to give it a shot aye...

| Glad to see this thread. Couldn't make the match yesterday but will definitely be at the Wire match.
Any players stand out individually? Seen a few negative things about "Nesi" and positive about Gigot & Cunningham. Fair comments?

| I had a chilli con carne in the Amber Lounge, and it was spot on. I like the ground. A few teething issues, but nothing major, already dropped an e-mail to the commercial manager at the Hive with a few suggestions.
On the park, the kicking game was a real positive, and it was good that they played for the full 80. On the minus side I still ended up shouting at JOC to watch his wing, will he ever learn?

Nice to hear some more positives. Its early days so it will take time to get used to how things work and where to go to get things but im sure it will all fall into place. My biggest problem was figuring out who the players were at a distance.
Gigot has always had a big kick on him and we definately got the benefit yesteday. Hopefully we can get our short kicking game and the 'follow up' sorted and get some tries from them.

| It really felt like a step forward despite the predictably small attendance, the players were committed and focussed, the atmos. was intimate and passionate. MUCH more like the GP days.
Gigot's kicking was top-notch, caused Salford all sorts of problems. As the re-enforcements arrive I can see us winning a few games and crowds improving.
Only negative was the young London 'fan' a few rows back swearing his mouth off all game.

| Hooking options are actually better than a few teams in SL, the forwards gained yards, the only thing that let them down was some soft tackling, I actually thought if not for the weak defence they gave Salford as good as they got.
Like I said though the Salford backs found holes a little bit too easy and too often.
The spirit was there though and because you're so close to the action you can hear them talking, they were all genuinely trying to keep each other up and their heads didn't drop.

Highlights on the reds site show some very dodgy tackling and we need to sort out a Full Back......because being the last line of defence is probably not what the average NRL club use their FB for and the incumbent looks very uninterested (in the clips I've seen to date)

| That was it for me, Rea just needs to sort that out, in fact if I was him it's all I'd work on this week, there is a spark in this team that wasn't there last season though.
