It is a real mess. Hard to see a way this plays out where the fans understand which direction the club is going. I would fancy a wager on SE being announced elsewhere before the club addresses anything.
Rich Hunswick is absolutely everything the club should be looking at, if he is available we should most certainly be looking to recruit him.
Admittedly and rather naively I don’t know a great deal about him other than what other posters have said so I’ll just have to take people’s word on him. But as the saying goes “there’s no smoke without fire” the smoke being he’s a top drawer coach, I’ll agree he is someone we should be looking to recruit regardless of whether it’s under Lam/SE/A.Nother.
I’m in agreement about the club direction. I personally feel like we’ve been too soft over the years starting with the “come back to us if it doesn’t work out” policy with the only player it genuinely working out for was ST. We’re now at that stage with SE, essentially the message we’re giving is “if you can’t get a better deal in RU, come to us”. It looks desperate and certainly not what one of the biggest names in RL should be doing. You wouldn’t see the Man Utd’s/Liverpool’s/Barcelona’s of this world even remotely consider it. Look closer to home nor would you see Warrington or Saints do it either. I’m sure it’ll get dressed up by the club as loyalty but to us fans and opposing fans it looks like a desperation tactic.
