Quote WormInHand="WormInHand"Really? Perhaps he tries to compensate by being harsh to us in order to completely fair to other teams.
I'm pleased if he is, I'm a bit of an admirer of his. Much rather read his rag than Smug Sadler's. Wish he'd get rid of that old fossillized partisan, French, though. In his book the M62 stops at Leeds, eastward bound.'"
You are right, Rebecca Smith is the Editor. Hopefully she's right, then.
Danny Lockwood's "editorial" style commentary on page 4 is insightful too. He's quite cynical about the timing of the takeover re the Gleeson issue a "tad too convenient" and calls for the previous regime to reassure everyone and declare that the complicity stopped at Rule's desk. He's also quite scathing about Gleeson as an individual:
"I don't doubt that, despite his age when his ban ends, some opportunistic club will be willing to give Martin Gleeson another chance. There's no cause so lost that some rugby league directors can't hold their noses and pretend not to notice the stench.
Even now I detect sympathy for a player who has had more lives than your average cat. Speaking as someone who's been on the end of threats from Gleeson's solicitors for taking the mickey, I can't say I'm in that camp.
People keep telling me he's a thoughtful, intelligent lad. Sorry, he's as thick as mince from where I'm looking."
Ouch
