| Quote: Jim Pooley "Woman Supports Husband Shocker. Film at eleven!
He passion is to be applauded but was she saying that since we started planning and signing players for 2015 back on July 2014, we've signed the wrong people, appointed the wrong support staff and essentially done everything wrong?
Somebody needs to have a word in Mr Hughes's shell like, because he really is becoming a target for "hangers on" who are happy to steal a wage.'"
Obviously Andrew is coming home each day and downloading his thoughts to his misses at the end of the day. If Rachaels post matches what he is saying in private then I see no reason why she should be apologitic about the post, and no need to take it down.
I am liking Andrew's approach thus far, he needs to raise the bar and make failure not acceptable, he is doing that now. I would be more than happy for Andrew to take the post full time, and in addition I agree with the post above. I am happy that there is a voice in the club that is ensuring that the right things need to be implemented, and we don't continue with the approach we have done for the last 3 years.
However, I am a Mac fan. Everyone remember who devoted so much effort into getting the youth set up going again (Mac), remember the amount of time Mac would devote to coaching junior players in the mini leagues (I remember Mac doing this twice with Elmbridge), remember the time he would run coaching sessions with the junior coaches in the south east as he thought they needed improvement in the way they coached the juniors ( I know this as a friend who still is a junior coach went to 3 coaching sessions run by Mac).
The Mac haters would do well to remember the legacy he left in terms of youth development. Mac was and still is very concerned and focussed on the wealth of youth talent we have in London and how they are being brought through.

| Not sure we all thought that, I think I said Bradford and Leigh would be 1 and 2, however I did think it would be a five way battle between us, Fev', 'Fax, the Eagles and Donnie for the next two spots. Dewsbury and Batley have been a suprise, as for us, look at at how we were hanging on by our fingernails against Donnie and then look were Donnie are......worrying to say the least.
Once again we have no 'effin' props. We can gas about "the right people" and "positivity" all we want, to me it just showed she doesn't really know what she's talking about (though fair play to her for supporting her man), we need PROPS, its that bloody simple! We can do NOTHING without the platform they create, with the right people or even the wrong people or some damn aliens from Alpha Centauri...No Props = No Platform = No Success!!!
Still, it's early days, and I repeat that a lot of the bookies STILL believe that at some point, full time training without the need to hold down a job elsewhere will pay a dividend...I hope they are right (though personally I think without the neccessary grunt up front, we will be looking at a Championship 8s challenge rather than the Qualifying 8s).

| 3 full time experienced players have walked out on the club, The coach has gone, the 2 captains are long term injured and the experienced half is out til Jul. Oh and we have brought in a retired 35 year old prop, a half that can't get a game with the SL cellar dwellers and a half from a bottom 4 club also not being selected. What does that leave?
Are you sure there his anyone backing us to be fighting for anything other than relegation.
Hendo should be applauded for his desire to toughen it all up but Mac has tried this. I remember after one loss he took the players straight to a gym and made them punch punch bags til the skin was removed from there knuckles.

| Thread drift, the only problem with the initial point raised is that she is passing on her thoughts on something that should be controoled and commented by the club or direct from the coach.
She although speaking a lot of sense is actually nothing to do with the club, and comments to her in private from her husband is stuff that should not be aired on a public forum. Its not about free speach, we as fans are all allowed that, but as someone "connected" to the club then she has to be careful.
Actually do like the comments.

| It all gets a bit boring doesn't it? I thought Joey was Mr Future of London? Passionate, knowledgeable,recruiting well and planning well. Er no, his recruitment was pants, he legged it in no time and.....here we go again. Hard to give one about this club sometimes.

| Its all a bit of a muddle. I really did think Joeys approach was going to pay dividends, obviously not to be and the bloke was homesick, thats life eh.
On this subject at least it looks like the whole hendo family live and breath the game if she is keen enough to comment. I would get pretty annoyed with my other half if she started chipping into my work though

| The problem starts at the top. DH has a lot more money than sense.

Good Morning Charles,
I suspect the side will be similar to the one defeated in Cumbria 10 days ago. We are now down to the bare bones with players either having left because they were "homesick" of because they are injured. That said, there hasn't been any news on our loanees/duel reg players being recalled, so it's not all doom and gloom, although I was tempted to answer your question with "soundly beaten"
Halifax will approach this game as a must win and will want our scalp in their pursuit of a top 4 finish and I can't see past a home defeat, based on our coaches comments after the last 2 defeats, in regards to many players "not being fit for purpose"

| Just watched Broncos and the Oxford games on LCTV. Absolutely appalling performances from both sides. Both teams have no idea how to play RL. Will be amazed if we get anywhere near Fax on Saturday. We need Dwyer and Gilmore to play to have any chance.
