V Leeds crowd predictions

SUPERCAT WROTE!

Well actually Crusaders, Quins, and even Cas (Gareth Thomas et. al./ Glasshoughton etc..)could say they have been through some hard times !! But I fully accept the first two won't give two hoots about attendances or whatever as far as a licence is concerned !!

Have they had a board that doesn't know what it's doing for god knows how many years..?

NO !!!

I seem to recall a few comments on this site regarding the competencies of RW and the Board at Cas !!

Looking at what Glover has done in the short time he's been in charge he's doing a good job so far.

Part of your point is valid but still judgemental in the sense that we are a new company now and still picking up pieces of what the old board left

AGREE entirely. The guy's got passion and commitment, but lets be realistic. There's a similarity here to the situation Widnes were in at the last application farce. Even though Widnes had been taken over by a very astute businessman and were back on a sound financial footing, the RFL then used the reason of the Club going into administration and the debris of the previous management, to achieve their own goals - IE getting Crusaders in for Sky TV. Totally wrong in my opinion by the way. So the problem for the Club's in this area is - what agenda do the RFL really have and will they want to show any compassion / understanding for teams that despite their history, are suffering against an unfortunate and pretty unique economic climate. I wonder how the RFL will stand the argument of now having too many teams in a particular area with the success of Widnes? We were told we were cluttered in this area with Wakey And Cas !!
