Even though were Challenge Cup holders, it's difficult to make a case for the defence with SP. Something is clearly not working with the performance on the field in the last 9 months, Moran and Middleton must also be getting frustrated, too. They'll want a better return than they're getting on their outlay.

I had forgotten about Flanagan until I saw his son playing for the roosters last week. He has been allowed back as an assistant in the NRL but I wonder what stance the SL/RFL would take on that restriction. Before Moran gets on the phone to Flanagan we would have to check out his eligibility to coach in SL first.

I’d start at the beginning with little things..,.
No more player thinking he’s bigger than the club....
I’d allow nothing but black boots... gone will be the ‘look at me in my star shiny silver, red, yellow, blue....boots.
No more dying hair to say look at me I’m the marquee.
No rolling socks down to the ankles....look at me with tattoos.
No more wearing cycle shorts....I’m a posy athlete.

Everyone wears the kit and travelling uniform suit correctly as we were taught at school. Ties fastened, polished shoes...no personal Walkmans. Everyone knuckles down and works hard. Everyone look equal and everyone is treated and respected equal.

It might sound trivial or daft to some, but this team is rife with prima donna’s and louts...they need pulling into shape as no player is above the badge on their blazer.
They have a privilege and duty to respect that badge and all it stands for.
.....Then feckin bollox and drop anyone who betrays that.

No use trying to get things right on the pitch, when players can’t get it right whilst travelling down on the players coach.

It’s why Wane would of been perfect.

It’s not a big fix but a mind alignment.
I’ve never been in the forces but I respect those who have and are. I’m pretty sure on parade before inspections, RSM would tear strips of any soldier who lets slip the equal display standards of his unit.

Some clubs don’t like the marquee principle. Might be a financial reason or a thought it could be devisive . Used to be a time when every player was paid the same, and agents weren’t living it up taking money out of the game. I remember them asking Gareth Edwards why he didn’t come north, he said he couldn’t afford the pay cut.

Iirc, we stopped doing the uniform bit, after Murphy left, in 1997.
I see and take your point, duckie.

A few of our (and other's teams) players, are trying too hard to look like low level Premier League footballers.
I'm half expecting a player's personal assistant to run on after 80 mins, with a pair of huge headphones and a pair of clip-on bling earrings, getting ready for the "star's" interview with Jenna Brooks

I too see your point but those days have gone. Not from RL but in general.
