| I've been keeping off the board to a large degree as it seems to be full of Hysteria.....
How can it be a surprise to a people that we are getting a few hammerings - remember most of our players were not wanted at other SL clubs and we couldn't start recruiting until effectively after game1?
How can it be a surprise that we haven't been able to recruit good players given the franchise situation?
Personally where we are today is better than i thought we would be at the start of the season - i didn't think we'd get six wins this year.
We need to stop attacking Players / Owners / coaches and Owners as the state we are in this year is not really their fault IMO - for me it lies with the previous owners and the RFL. We should just support our club and see where we stand post the announcement as that's when we can start to put plans in place for next year.
If you want to have a dig about kear's style of Rugby this year then fair comment - as it isn't great to watch - but then don't switch tune when we turn over Hudds. For me we don' have the players to play expansive rugby and be successful - they simply are not talented enough. So whilst i'm not exactly happy with what i am watching on the pitch, in it's context it's understandable as i'm sure JK would also be getting stick if we were sat on zero wins but had tried to throw it around.
Re broadbent, thoroughly decent bloke from what i've seen, heard and personally experienced - but shouldn't be getting involved with the fans as you can never win, but it can't be nice hearing abuse constantly from your own fans and does the abuse he was getting really help the club - all this incident does is make the club look bad.

the fact that you enjoyed shuttleworth’s company is of no relevance to this thread. i keep being told he’s a fan, but i’ve always viewed him as a rugby union man, first, second and third. he’s an agent so i’d guess that he likes money, and that is his motivation for being close to the club. in my broad view agents same throughout sport'"
I don't see how good his company is has anything to do with it, the Krays were fabulous party guests!

I agree, in the main an agent and a clubs interests are poles apart, IMO football may have enough cash to waste on agents but RL does not.
I think if he has made an assumption that our players contracts may be null and void shortly, he is clearly an astute man, however his tactics to "get on with the job" before the announcement is made, may well be doing us no favours as a club.
Perhaps we could offer him a job!!!!!!

| I wish we could give 110% in the last few games of the season and pick up a few surprise wins to take us above Quins. How ridiculous would it look if we were given the chop after finishing above Crusaders and especially Quins with our 4 point deduction? The 2 points dropped at Quins was our big chance of getting anywhere near.

That Quins game was massive. I believe had we won that we would have capitulated in the last 3 games like we have.
