I gained the impression that Adrian Morley had willingly surrendered the captaincy so he could give his full attention to the playing side of things as well as the rudiments of the role of General Manager.
I thought it was a superb choice in allowing HH to be the captain.

I was already at the point of reminding myself of the old saying,'With friends like these who need enemies' and I am shocked a normally excellent poster like yourself has joined the others.

Have a read of [url=http://richarddelariviere.co.uk/?p=327THIS[/url,remind yourself that Iestyn Harris lost himself a lot of money with the leed/Bradofrd/agent/solicitor brouhaha so rumours of his need/obsession with money is rubbish;he could get a job anywhere and if he is spineless he wouldn't have stuck around at Crusaders under those 2 owners and Rod Findlay.

Pleased I'm getting out of it.

Here's an off the cuff thought...

The RFL is run by people who don't love the sport and doing what's right for themselves.
Could be better if run by current/ex-player(s) but unfortunately, not many current/ex-players have the required knowledge of business management, so......
Is Marwan giving one of RL most admired and respected players the oportunity to learn 1st hand the ins and outs of administritive dealings within club structure????

May be well off the mark, however, if people like Moz can gain the required experience now, then perhaps the future of our beloved sport could be passed into the safe hands (no pun intended) of ex-players

It’s an absolutely ludicrous idea from a person who has no expert knowledge on fitness and conditioning. The players will be starting pre season training before some clubs in the playoff’s finish their season. With the new format next year all clubs will be playing until October so that will be almost a full 12 months without a break. I think ‘burnout’ next year will be inevitable and I think it could impact very negatively on how we finish 2015. Players are like vehicles, if you constantly drive them too hard it generally leads to problems.

I can understand the Doc is extremely disappointed like the rest of us with how the year has gone but he needs to either trust the staff he appointed to get it right or replace them. Without wanting to name names, I don't think the problem is fitness related it's more likely down to having too many balloons (with history) and/or mercenaries on the payroll.

As a supporter looking in I get the impression that there is a general lack of respect, pride or ignorance by players for the history and heritage of the club. It just feels to me like the club lost it's sole when we moved from the Willows and rebranded in 2013.

I think the idea would be the players stay on at the club until the playoffs finish, then take the 4 weeks off???

If so I get the impression the Doc thinks the players didn't want to make the playoffs so they could have an extended break and he's decided to punish them for it.

Sure plenty of promo work etc could be done. also some could say why get a few extra weeks off for not qualifying
