You heard something from the L&L? :O

Lock this thread, it's awful.

they're all awful at the moment.

I'm sorry but this thread should be locked as David Hughes is perhaps the only person currently associated with our club that deserves any credit. It is run by idiots, the players are useless, the coaching staff have nothing to work with, nothing is working. I have never experienced a feeling like this before. If rupe1 wants to discuss this more at the next home game I am up for it

None of us can work out where 30k a week is going. None of us know the details. IMO though we are somehow being swindled by the RU club as not even the clowns in charge of our club can run Harlequins RL so inefficiently.

I swear I want to do a PHD in how abysmal our club is and how problems could be solved. It's not even down to marketing etc, interesting GF, regardless of what was reported, todays crowd was probably the best of the season. Try and explain that.

Can't. If you say there were more than the Wakey game (3,68icon_cool.gif and they reported 2,819 today, either they lied about wakey, counted free tickets allocated for Wakey as part of the MASSIVE marketing campaign or a load of East Hull finest jumped the fence today.
I agree that the club has been run badly and I agree that DH is the only person to still have much credit at all, but HE WAS RESPONSIBLE for employing pretty much everyone currently at the club. He doesn't sign the players, but he signed the coach who assembled this squad.
Back office is harder to quantify as we don't know what restrictions are in lace on finance, but you have to ask what the point of having a marketing person is if there is no budget.

Which core of the team is still present, that SHOULD be performing? I am struggling to identify our core now.

I couldn't care less how we operate with ball in hand when we ship 50 points.

A hamster could do a better job, but thanks anyway

If you hang onto the ball, kick effectively and make some of the play in the opposition half you ship less tries, don't you? If your always handing the ball over then you expect the opposition to come at you.

TBH it could be argued that conceding 52pts was fortunate, Rovers were knackered from the off given the Derby game on Friday which caused several chances to go begging today...

2,771 average so far this year. Compared to the same teams last year (3,234) we are 463 fans a game down (13%).
Do the club stick with the marketing plan they currently have or do they cut their losses, fire someone and employ a consultancy on a retainer with bonus payments built into the contract? If there's no budget for marketing, why have a marketing person?
The viral and the oyster cards didn't work and facebook was laughable. All of these things are being paid for by David Hughes so why is he happy to let this continue?

Rupe1 is wrong. DH has no need to hang his head in shame, but his accountant must have no hair left

Of course David Hughes is to blame

Who employs and has the right to fire a coach - David Hughes
Who tolerates defeat after defeat - David Hughes
Who is losing money hand over fist yet really doesn't seem bothered by it - David Hughes
Who has created a franchise that is an insult to Super League - David Hughes

Still carry on clapping if you are happy watching detritus.

I doubt many on here are clapping.
Rupe1.....you seem to quietly ignore the fact that without DH we wouldn't be having this conversation. As critical as I am of the club and it's headless chicken approach to most things, I am still happy DH is prepared to throw his hard earned into Quins RL.
