Quote: Schunter "Taking that to it's logical conclusion finishing last and getting thumped 60 nil every week would have no impact on our chances of getting a franchise. I disagree. Whilst i'm sure it is in no way the priority it can't hurt for us to be still seen as a club with something to offer on the field. If we finishe top 8 and win a play off game that can only make it harder to kick us out. Whether it would be enough is a completely different matter but my point is we shouldn't write off the playing side by focusing only on the ground etc'"
All fair points and i agree in a ideal world the club should try to cover all angles, i just feel they've had to prioritise there efforts in such a short space of time and focus on what they feel gives us the best chance of a franchise.
Ok we sign a few players, win a few games and a few fans come back, then we lose the franchise and its all gone.
The decisions made in July so if we finish top 8 and win the Final it won't matter a jot because we'll already be gone.
