Some things never change.

Without jumping to any conclusions, I think this is "odd"!

can she play prop or scrum half?

Her dad has at least two businesses in Wakefield so I suppose she could have worked for him. But the saying
it's not what you know but who you know probably comes into this story.

had enough with the last lot bringing family in. dont think its a good idea

I agree, IF people are employed for the wrong reasons it WILL have a negative effect.
We all saw how the wrong people doing the wrong job, without any threat or real responsibility, saw us as being the sick man of RL.
We are a club playing catch up, the club has increased the number of staff employed to generate income (by 60% I think JE said on Thursday) but we need to be employing the best and get the most out of them if we are to make up any ground.
I hope this isn't an example of bad old practices and she has got the job because she is the best person we could possibly have got.

In fairness it was only a £12k salary so I doubt we were fighting off high flying businessmen left right and centre.

Agreed. If she suddenly becomes Chief Exec I will begin to get worried!

Wrong attitude mate sorry, we are not a club that can afford to waste money, on top of that we need to employ to as higher level as possible (this may well be the case in this instance of course, equally the name could be coincidental), but we know what nepotism has brought to the club in the past, so we have a right to view this with some scepticism.
Small mistakes have a habit of becoming big mistakes.

I see what people are saying especially after what happened in the past but it's hard to slate someone or the job they've been given without knowing them or the previous work they've done, we'll see what happens.

I can't help but be worried that this 'whole new era' is failing to learn from the obvious mistakes of the past. This is not about the person appointed, just the spectre of nepotism still involved with the club.

Me too.

Fortunately, it's not a strategic position, and paid considerably less than some people's daddies pay their offspring to work for the family firm (and I don't mean Ted in this case).

exactly for all we know she could be a valued member of the club now

stop living in the past
