Quote: NickyKiss "Look forward to seeing how he goes. He looks a real talent and getting bashed about by blokes older then him and his size (we’ll close to maybe)will do him the power of good.
I remember on the way to the Grand Final having a conversation with my mate about the whole Lam being interim for a year situation and said then I would pretty much write the year off regards trophy chances and use it to look at which fringe players and youngsters are good enough to be considered by Edwards (or somebody else) in 2020. That means having a good look at the likes of Kibula, Wells, Byrne, Partington and even younger ones like Smith and Smithies. I’ve seen nothing in these first few weeks to suggest our trophy chances have improved any from what I thought they would be back in October so we’ve nothing to lose.'"
There is a lot to lose, if as fans we are asked to accept that this season is a write off then the club must accept that this is a reciprocal arrangement when it comes to ticket sales.
Rugby League is part of the entertainment business, the performances so far this season have been poor with little indication that they are going to get better soon. If the situation is not adressed I could quite easily see gates falling by around 3 /4 k per home game which would be financially disastrous. This in turn would impact next seasons recruitment prospects for SE (or whoever ?)
Incidentally, I think Leeds are in a similar situation, the only difference being that they are now into year two of their team rebuilding program.
