Bringing Nigel wood back...it's like we never want to grow as a sport.

Have they not forgot the rubbish he left the game in last time ... Complete suicide if we go back to him .
If there's going to be a mutiny then atleast go for someone with a fresh approach and more forward thinking .

Any of the club chairman got shares in the RFL's catering contractor?

Ironically it seems Catalans not in favour of this move and their owner has a Chicken business

Seems Derek and Gary driving this idea but Ken Davy against it. No idea where we stand but you'd suspect Thrikhill will know big Nige after all these years.

In what other industry/organisation would you get a £300k payoff for being a disaster and then get invited back

Absolute joke if this goes ahead as the guy was an abject failure and set the game back years under his governance.

I’m all for giving someone a go but not someone who has already failed the audition in some style and got a pay out the sport could ill afford.

No wonder the sport is where it is.

Yes, in fact Thirkill sought Wood's advice when considering buying Hull.

Worst thing he did was to buy the odsal lease for big money, save Bradford and then become their Chairman. Seems very dubious
