So. What kind of reset do we need? We lost about 2k supporters when we were relegated from SL. And we’ve lost about 300 every year since then.
Short term, we’re stuck with Odsal. I think. How long a lease did we sign at the beginning of last year? With the numbers we’re down to now, we could make BPA work I think.
It’s all about recruitment and the academy. I would say a mix of our 6 best academy players and maybe 8 others, to cover for the 16 that are leaving?
Lawford will be a great player with time, from what I hear George JNR will be..
We need a 100% rake out top to bottom, an owner with funds and acumen would be a start, we can't scrimp and save with a volunteers back to Super League or even the top 6 of the championship.
The Playing staff needs overhauling, and I hate to say it as I like Dunning he needs to be replaced, well out of his depth is an understatement.
We need a professional coach to build a culture like Brian Smith did in 96, they never even looked to replace JK just made out like they were.
Unless someone comes in to buy Nigel out or invests whats needed to set a pro RL club back up we are going to continue to decline.
A mate of mine who works up there full time said "We are an amateur club in everything but name" and it shows.
The love in with George Flannagan needs to end too, I could see him been made assistant when in reality he shouldn't be anywhere near a professional organisation.
With a turn up on the playing field, a potential stadium project and positivity we will see fans come back.
The Odsal Chicken and the egg situation, without investment we will not get success, without success we will not see fans back so less gate revenue.
#nigeout not because I have anything against the guy, he just isn't our man.
