Proposals to restructure by the RFL

So, all planning for 2014 is on hold while other clubs are getting them in place as we speak. If I was Sandy, I think I'd clear off now as he will be persecuted even more on here in 2014 when we are playing catch up again.

To be fair, most people having travelled around the world to take a job, to be told with just 6 months left of your contract that not only can your employer fully guarantee existing next year, they cant discuss any contract extension and that you may be made unemployed, furthermore that talent such as Watts, Taylor, Mcdonnel & Green would leave the club and replaced with lesser quality players. And then to be hung out to dry by your chairman after a run of poor results - could you blame him?

If I was him I would already have looked for work back home and made plans.

It might not be a question of KR 'keeping' him, but does he really want to stay?

CS clearly never rated Watts, so his departure has no relevance to your point.

Of the 3/4 players we wanted, I think you'll find the board fully backed CS in finding replacements to his choosing. One we paid a transfer fee for, another was a proven NRL half back we stretched our budget for and the other guy apparently played a test match for NZ or something. Not exactly the worst name for name replacements.

"Hung out to dry by your chairman" - I assume you're referring to the outburst after our record dry humping defeat to Wigan ....? Yeh, I know - shocking. What gives the chairman the right!?

the real jimmy carr is not funny, the one on here is even worse.

mike smith didn't really tell us anything that we didn't already know! good effort though.
and now blake green has left, mike has stopped adding "mate" into every sentance.
