I think top four is within our capabilities next year. However I would expect 3 or 4 and I think the gap between SL and Championship to be wider.

Can't believe no one has suggested to ask how much the cloth has been accordingly cut.

A tad pessimistic?

I can see a good argument why Leigh would finish top next season, but what reason would there be for us not to come home in 2nd as we did this season?

The only other full-time teams are either useless (London) or entirely unproven (Sheffield). I suppose there's Halifax, but we ought to be able to best them over the course of a season with our current squad.

I do agree about the gap between SL and Championship widening (unless Koukash takes his money and Salford implode, which is not beyond the realms...)

We haven't got a scrum half or backup. And not sure we will keep AOB or Gaskell or both. Gaskell may have said he will see his contract out but with a year to run he is a saleable asset and finances could force us to sell.

Re: Questions to the Chairman : Thu Oct 08, 2015 8:31 am  
If it is true we are after Lee Smith maybe we are looking at Mullaney at SH.
As far as Having a go at Robbie someone may put me right but I am fairly certain he is there purely as marketting director and has no say in team matters. The club does actually do very well with sponsorship and I would think he is easily paying for himself in a very important job.
I don't think Ferres and Robbies job could easily be integrated into one. For me it is Ferres who could feel unsafe as I think a good head coach and assistant should be in charge of all recruitment with the help of the chap (forgotten name) who runs the junior set up.
Ferres is probably there though more as a right hand man / adviser to Mr Green as Green is inexperienced.
If Ferres and Robbie wasn't there Green would have to depend on Jimmy and his calm and emotionless reasoning. How many people think that is the best solution.

Whatever happens in the background it all comes down to the basics of choosing the right group of players and coaching them properly. If that happens we could have Coco the clown working in the office.

Pollsters doing Excellent job - say recent polls.

Re: Questions to the Chairman : Thu Oct 08, 2015 9:29 am  
I always got the feeling that the RFL had been involved in Ferres appointment. One of those types of deals where Mark Green got the club but the RFL only gave their blessing once they put someone in that they could trust/influence.

I have a feeling it'll be years before we can shake off the strings that the RFL have attached to us.

The other matter of course is that a deal for the ground was supposedly nearing completion. I wonder if that'll be announced at the end of season ball.

It could also be thought that, maybe Marc wanted to get involved but realised he didn't really have enough knowledge to run a rugby club, so he went to a guy he knew who did? MG is a businessman first and foremost, so you'd expect him to do something like that.
