Hopefully this is about as low as we can get as a club on the playing side of things anyhow ,all records are there to be broken whether good or bad .Just wish the news were all waiting for will break asap and give us beleaguered fans a major boost ahead of the club spluttering headlong into the unknown at the end of the season .The new boss is obviously business savvy and surely will be looking at ways to offload the flotsam n jetsam that we have accumulated especially these last few seasons and bring in some quality and a winning culture to the club . We are so close but feel so far from a new dawn it’s almost tangible, but we’ve been here before and the thoughts of a last minute collapse in the take over isn’t worth contemplating ,and could quite possibly sound the death knell of our time in super league

Might be like present board, good at business, but no nothing about what it takes to get a team that can perform on the pitch

Could take them a long time to get up to speed on running a rugby club.
And before anyone says it can't be worse, yes it could. Need to give them time.

It’s quite plain for all the see the state of the squad and their playing abilities or lack of it in some cases . It’s going to take some serious planning and money to get us back to an acceptable level on the field and probably off the field . When the ink has finally dried on the contracts , I don’t think anyone of us is under any illusions as to the mammoth task that lay ahead of them going forwards ,but the rebuild will start ,at what pace ,who knows but I’m willing to wait ,I’ve been doing that for 50 years

Blind pew can see who is and isn’t performing week in week out , I’m sure being an astute business man he wouldn’t take that gamble if he didn’t think he could do a decent job , and surely he will surround himself with quality staff who know the ropes .

Seeing it and knowing what to do about it are two very different things.

I seriously think it will take more than half a season to turn things around. We've dead wood in the squad off contract this year and also next.

It's more than just maybe a bit better quality in our halves and middles, which had been the case for the past 3-4 seasons, it's now within the whole squad that improvements are required.

We now have our third saviour in Gale if he plays. He follows Tanginoa and Jowitt who our coach highlighted would help us turn that corner.

And might have done had they played more than 1 game.
You can hardly blame Mash for injuries. Well you can but most people wouldn't.

I don’t blame him for the injuries but I do his laughable game plan which even an 11 player opposition could repel. I also blame him for his erratic team selection and the fact we have become a joke which you might find acceptable but I don’t. If he was at any other club he would have been gone weeks ago when there was still some glimmer of hope.

So what's all that got to do with your point about a player being the saviour. Have you ditched that and switched to a new dig?
