If the job was up for grabs, which it wouldn’t be, I think you’d be amazed who would apply. Despite what MRS BARISTA says we are perceived as a well run and funded club, unfortunately the present incumbent appears to be wasting it’s assets.

Pleased you have now seen the light

Surely we are one of the biggest clubs in Super League?. We’re not a minnow by any stretch.
We spend to full cap, have very good training facilities and a very good squad. We also have one of the biggest and most loyal fan bases.

We have a good fanbase, not the best in the comp, but up there. But there still seems a reluctance to accept that there's a reason why 4 other clubs file full accounts and we get an exemption. We like to see ourselves as challengers, and with what Lee, AP and co have achieved in recent years, against the odds really, that's understandable. But the grip on Super League by these 4 has remained for years and I would again fancy that this year's title race won't change that, as much as we all would like that to happen.

Turnover is irrelevant as you well know.

The game isn't played by the accountants, it's played by the team, which we spend full cap on so i don't see us being disadvantaged because we might get an accounts exception.

Mrs B
with respect none of us are interested in whether four clubs file full accounts and we dont.
Radford out is the subject and more and more posters on here seem to be getting the message.
We can see on the field the limitations of this coach and its obvious now to most that Radford should be replaced as the coaching is Stale.
To see the same limitations week after week without any sign of improvement for me indicates he should go

I don't think anyone would believe we are a minnow. Just that 4 other clubs are bigger from a financial perspective (hence filing full accounts rather than exemption ones) and they just happen to be the ones who've had a stranglehold on Super League Grand Finals for years. Expecting us to magically break into this group could be a little naive. Hoping for it is another matter - I'm sure we all do, and have done for a long time.

Do you think it's simply a coincidence that the 4 clubs that have a stranglehold on the Super League GFs over the last few years are the same ones who file full accounts? I don't.

He'll still be the coach in February 2020, won't he?
