| Quote: Mild Rover "From what saw of the forum, I thought Peacock spoke very well and put a bit of flesh on the bones of the 5YP.
He's clearly determined that come Hell or high water, we're going to break the cycle of short-termism and put some firmer, more rigid structures in place.
And that's great, but every choice is a sacrifice. If we're going to be less flexible, stay out the loan market, have a medium- to long-term focus in recruitment and retention, then that carries risks. Everything carries risks, so again that is fine - but I think they need to be acknowledged.
He challenged a guy as to why playing 'kids' could or would see us relegated. The risk is (obviously) that playing inexperienced players, in a team that really can't afford to carry anything even vaguely resembling a passenger, might mean we're simply not good enough this year. And the outcome of this year will clearly impact on the plan.
Knowing that we, as fans, can choose to buy in or not. Despite my reservations, I am. We've just got to survive this and then maybe, the plan will bear fruit. I just about prefer that to the old model - though ask me again in October, and I might have changed my mind.'"
Is his plan any different to what Hull are doing? Bring through your youth, look to sign good young players and tie them down to long contracts, get better value out of your cap and look for off field improvements to conditioning and rehab. Pretty obvious to me but actually implementing it effectively and achieving anything at the end of it is the challenge. I suspect most of the teams in SL have the same ideas and he's modelling it on leeds who don;t seem to be doing too well with it currently

Yeah, in conception I don't think it is dramatically different to what a few other teams are doing or are trying to do. I don't think Peacock has some wondrous cure-all up his sleeve.
Parts of it remind me of Rovers at the start of the decade - Willie Mason being the big name 'catalyst' back then, and 'building for the future' focusing on developing young players with potential. The execution of a plan is what matters.
Similarly, much of what you've said about Hull's current model is similar to the language used when Pearson first arrived and tied a good young player like Joe Arundel to a long contract.
Long-term or short-term focused, the important thing is that decisions are good.
Morgan signed well - he seemed to have good contacts, via his agent iirc. Motu Tony has got good value from players with Polynesian heritage. I'm not sure either was down to a master plan or underlying philosophy, just sensible opportunism.
But all that said, having some basic, solid values and structures in place will hopefully be worth this difficult season. Maybe this is for us, very roughly, what 2014 was for you.

| Salford, Leeds, Rovers and Hudds in the middle 8's is a frightening, but exciting prospect.
I reckon Widnes and Wakey still get dragged into it, massive game for you next.

30596_1286642206.jpg If there is no struggle, there is no progress. Those who profess to favor freedom, and yet depreciate agitation, are men who want crops without plowing up the ground. They want rain without thunder and lightning. They want the ocean without the awful roar of its many waters. This struggle may be a moral one; or it may be a physical one; or it may be both moral and physical; but it must be a struggle.

| How we can go from the enthusiastic desire filled team to the pathetic can't be bothered shizzle of that first half in six days beggars belief.
Discounting a couple of dropped balls by Salford we defended one. Count it. One. Set in our own half.
Sio looks done, one of the few to care about being a professional.
Clarkson and Mulhern, I just don't see the point.
Sanford weren't great today, but they were efficient and effective, they communicated with each other and stuck to a game plan.
That first half we lost pretty much every single collision and gave easy metres away, classic case of MGS after last week.

I was going to post my summary but that sums it up to a tee.

| Our problems.
Young players are inconsistent. We're relying on too many at present.
In balanced squad and weak weak leadership.
2 big games. The cup and this which would have given our season purpose and.......we don't show up.
No mental strength. That comes from the coach and captain. Ours are weak.

Indeed. One of the hardest things is to stick to the plan and ride the criticism - sometimes vitriolic - that will inevitably come from fans about the coach who is tasked with implementing the plan. Important to hold your nerve as a club wouldn't you say ?
