That's certainly true. A quick look over Doncaster way will provide all the proof you need.

| Quote: Mrs Barista "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
This is exactly why I love him. He's always like that. Interesting that he's dared to ask the same questions as the rest of us re the previous board and hints at a speedy sale being their chance to hop off the crashing train.
Off to pictures tonight in St Stephens. Note to self: After film, Tesco's shopping list now includes bottle of red, tin of dog food and League Weekly.

Spot on, it's a really great one liner that encapsulates the somewhat shabby reputation of the heads of the various clubs IMO.

I'm in full agreement with Lockwood with regards to Gleeson. Their has been far to much sympathy offered (especially on here) for someone who has repeatedly shown himself to be a prat.

I recommend a nice Shiraz with the dog food. If it's in jelly I'd go for a Merlot. ![Very Happy icon_biggrin.gif](images/smilies//icon_biggrin.gif)

Probably. But the RFL may be wanting some damage limitation here if it's true there are no further sanctions. Plus with the Richard Owen story coming out tomorrow (which on Twitter is reported as being a big story by some people), the appetite to take action against a current SL head coach and the Hetheringtons, who are woven into the fabric of the last 20 odd years of RL, is maybe quite limited . From a big picture perspective the lack of a sponsor for a comp that kicks off in a month is probably another priority too, rather than muckraking in an area where we already have 3 people guilty with a combined ban of 7 years.
