The fact he wriggled and was very cloak and dagger with the RFL made them think we had the money to give Super League a proper go down here. Put simply I don't think he did or the financial climate soon meant he couldn't give it the go he had originally set out to.
I am grateful he gave us Crusaders and enjoyed the rise through the leagues but can't help thinking virtually every aspect of our Super League effort last year could have been done a lot better.
About three quarters through last season I said to quite a few friends that if we moved or our licence was taken away I would not have minded so much if we had a real go at it and failed. The sad fact of the matter is we tried to approach Super League and do things off the field like an amateur rugby union club. We couldn't have hoped to survive going about things like that.'"
Which tells us what ? , that basically you were not ready , which was plain to see , especially to those of us who had been through it all with Leigh 4 years ago , I knew we werent ready then and it wasn't difficult to see that Celtic also were not ready
This is why I criticise the sports management as I do , they ignore things at all levels
