If you hadn't noticed, there hasn't been any rugby played for several months now, once the excitement of the new regime taking over was out of the way, there was very little of interest to post about (unless you're interested in the hunks thread). You can't seriously claim to be surprised that more people post on the forum when something has actually happened?

Speaking of those who post year-round though, since I joined this forum, I've been often ridiculed and criticised for how much I tore into Rule and Agar. Now it turns out that I was spot on, while large numbers of supposedly more 'respected' posters have been made to look like berks.

When so many have been embarrassed, it's not going to wash trying to turn this into a conversation about the frequency of my posts. As I said to Wilf, there's far more dignity in a simple retraction....

Never mind Gleeson or Castleford.. Will you be taking action against Rule and co. after you lost the £20 bet that Cas would finish above us in the league?

I would however be surprised if that just involves our club. Based on the person supplying it could easily have ended up with mates on either side of the M62.

What are you afraid of?

Being made to look a numptie fool once again?

Surely you must be used to it by now.

See above. If you're going to compile a list you really ought to check it at least twice.

1) The Reardon debacle
Only a 'debacle' on here. Minor news everywhere else. And I doubt the decision to sign him was Rule's.
A 'purely subjective statement' on your part there, surely?
2) The Challenge Cup registration debacle
Fair enough - and he admitted to the erroe.
3) Taking spin to excessive and unnecessary levels.
A purely subjective statement, generally made by people who don't understand marketing.
I understand well enough that it was detrimental to a lot of fans' view of how the club treats them.
4) Lying to the fans about the club owing no money to anyone
Economical with the truth at the very least.
5) Missing a match to go on a boozy weekend in Dublin when the club is in crisis
This really is a nonsense, as was pointed out at the time.
Did he really not miss a match to go to Dublin? I genuinely thought he did.
6) The Crocker debacle
Crocker was denied a visa due to a change in the rules and a new administrator in Australia. How exactly was this Rule's fault?
It was his job to be on top of issues like that and plan ahead.
