What would we have done without this bloke. Yes he's made mistakes who hasn't but boy he's been good for us. Once again he's trying his best to give us a team which will hopefully bring us success . Thank you Mr Pearson

Think his passion has been misplaced at times, with the wrong appointments, but he's finally appointed someone who will give him some support back as well.

Feels like a genuine reboot now, with TS and the new training facility, and hopefully AP gets some success and enjoyable rugby in return. He deserves it as much as we do.

AP is a great bloke - he’s saved the Club for sure !!!
He hung onto LR and BH for way too long
BUT if he learns from that, then that can only be a good thing
He is the Manager of the Club so he has to manage Coaches, not just hire and fire.

Shane Richardson is a classic example

He has indeed saved the club but has been naive in thinking assistants and a weak backroom team could make us a top4 club.
Ithe only times promoting an assistant works is if the club has already been successful and has a clear style to continue with such as at Saints.

It's also taken him time to get used to the politics of RL, and that we are never more than 2/3 years away from a big reshuffle or some stupid new idea that quite often doesn't get finished before the game thinks of some other random idea.

Re: Pearson. : Sat Oct 29, 2022 11:36 am  

Perhaps his priority in the past has been the team rather than the coaches and assistants because he has always said that he invested all we had, in the actual team on the field but whatever, he is a top bloke who has lost hundreds of thousands in the last couple of years but not only stuck with us but moved us forward to, as everyone is saying, a potential new dawn. As a dedicated fan said to me last night over a pint "I'm just grateful we are still here and in addition to keeping us afloat I can't believe we have actually made some great signings to enhance the team". He deserves all our support going forward now.
