Am i missing something, or why have you changed your name?
As always, your analysis is right (to a point). But Hughes isnt going, so that a blind alley. as for Grima, jury out but appalling display on sunday, and no sensible reason in press conference, isnt good....
i am going to Leigh for my sins......

I shudder to think!
I was prepared to give JG a lot of leeway last season, but this is his squad, with a full preseason of his preparation - if he can't inspire them to get going in the next couple of games then maybe he isn't the man for the job. Don't mean to be advocating pressing the panic button but we need to be in that top 4 - if JG can't do that for us then we need to get someone in who can and sharpish!

| Just a question for Gutters oops enig, so if Mr Hughes had actually pulled his money and walked, which forum would you have been posting on? This one would not be in existance as the 6 people left on the staff would probably be working elsewhere as the club would not be in existance.
Not sure if you noticed, no one was rushing into rescue us! and the RFL would have happily let us drown!

| JG still has plenty of time to fix things IMO. Watching the Sheffield tries made me feel slightly better as it happens. The defensive structure wasn't breached physically - it was energy, anticipation and nous that was missing.
It is obvious that Ben Hellewell is not a winger and that is an easy fix with Macani or Morris ready to step up. Equally, Rhys Williams is a bit of an oil tanker on the other wing - in which case, let Farrar attack from centre but defend on the wing. Williams is better than Farrar in the defensive line anyway. When you think about it, Mathers, Hellewell and Williams are neither lightning quick nor mobile - it makes sense for the oppo to target them with attacking kicks.

Agreed, hopefully we see a back 3 of Walker, Williams & Macani on Sunday with Naiqama & Hellewell in the centres.
Still badly need an experienced general at scrum half

| If watching the Sheffield tries made you feel a bit better, I dread to think how bad a day you were having.

Gutterfax received a permanent ban without warning for inserting the symbol @ and the number 3 in place of the letters a and e in a mild swear word that meant he side stepped the swear filter. There have been 29 subsequent incidents of avoiding the filter and to my knowledge, not so much as a warning has been handed out to offenders, which points to the moderator in question having used his power to settle a personal score.
Still, it would seem that everyone on here thinks I am Gutterfax, including yourself, but it would seem that the board administrators are happy, as it avoids them having to contradict a moderator...and it is my belief that people aren't queuing up to be moderators...all is well it would appear.
Enjoy Leigh. I remember being there in 2005...I believe it was Gansons Birthday that day.....we sang happy birthday to him and the ungrateful sod pinged us off the park in the 2nd half.

Michael,
I have often wondered why it was that Blake Solly was sent down to assist in the negotiations with AK when we were looking for a new home. I have also wondered why it was that the RFL, through Blake Solly were prepared to offer financial assistance to the Landlord to market us in 2014, when all previous requests for financial assistance to promote THEIR game had been met with offers of advice. Given St Dave of Swinton doesn't like taking advice, surely the RFL would have been better to simply offer AK advice, rather than handing over cash?
Then it struck me. There were 13 home, 13 away and 1 Magic fixtures that had to be fulfilled as part of the contractual obligation to Sky, so rather than hand a poisoned chalice to a championship club who would have surely gone straight back down, or risk losing revenue from SKY, the RFL "magicked" a budget out of nowhere to get us a home and therefore through 2014.
So, your premise that the RFL would have left us to drown, whilst not without foundation, is nevertheless unproven.
As for where would I be posting? On the VT of course.....there is certainly more to RL than a badly managed outfit in the capital

| Now someone has been banned from three different forums and err not the same moderator. One wonders why. Yet incomprehensible is using the same emotions and who else refers to someone as St David? It's okay it'll just be a coincidence.
Sheffield was an embarrassment for a full time squad (no disrespect to Sheffield). This week could be demeaning unless they step up to the plate for their first full 80 mins of the season.

Right. As you seem facinated, I'll explain it to you.
Leagueunlimited was a site gutterfax was invited to by disgruntles Aussies who had got themselves banned from here. They invited Gutterfax to a forum called the fight club and then when they again failed to win a debate with gutterfax, they subjected gutterfax to overt racism. When they declared that the only bad thing about the Great Irish Famine was that only a million dies, gutterfax asked the moderators what their advertisers would think of such right wing, fascist and racist comments......gutterfax was banned.
Total RL banned gutterfax because, to quote John Drake (saddlers on-line bitch), gutterfax wasn't a RL fan so gutterfax was banned. gutterfax broke none of their rules, kept any mention of Union to their dedicated union board, but gutterfax made them uncomfortable by quoting facts.
Why is it some league fans feel the need to try and poke fun at Union all the time in some forlorn hope it'll make league look less miniscule as a national or international sport? More importantly, if people who own RL sites don't want union discussed, then can I suggest they don't create boards specifically to discuss Union, as both the cross code forum on Total and the fight Club on unlimted are.
I suspect gutterfax won too many debates and/or his differing opinion didn't sit well with the insecure idiots running the sites.
RLFANS.COM banned gutterfax for a single breach of the AUP. 29 other breaches have taken place that can be classed as similar or worse and not even a warning has been issued.....so I suspect gutterfax was banned for again having a differing opinion, no matter how much the moderator wants to hide behind the AUP.
I'm not sure how much you know about me as a person, but I have done more for the club over the years than most, as well as raising funds for RL charities and organising FULL 75 seater coaches to Wales and Wakefield a few years back. I may not be "agreeable" in my style or my viewpoint in regards to the game and what is needed, but I am right more than I am wrong.
If you wish to complain to the administrators of this board about me, then there is a perfectly serviceable report function at the bottom right of this post......although given I am enigmatic and not gutterfax, I am not sure what rule I have broken. Maybe the moderator Saint Simon can help you.
