one out of 5 ain't bad, remember the last person who came out with a string of facts?

I think you mean 4 out of 5 although the last one is an opinion it is very close to the truth.

He has limited knowledge of Rugby League? hahaha who compared to? You? How could you possibly know.

God I hope he pays no attention to this board. Some of the comments are cringeworthy.

I know

Limited knowledge of Rugby League? This from someone who doesn't even know how to spell Mateaki Mafi's name when putting him forward as one of our worst ever players. Face it, if you ever saw him play you'd know how his name was spelled, so yet more guff.

"Five Facts". Good grief. Would be great if for one day only we could have a mass cull on here of all the alarmist, jumped-up, sensationalist know-nowts.

PS

How can a fact be 80% factual?

Set a date and I'll be there.

How on earth can you tell me what i have and haven't seen, i remember him bouncing a ball over the try line against St.Helen's because he was to eager to celebrate.
your basing this on an incorrect spelling of a name.

Call me a little slow here, but what cracks is he papering over, our lack of a top class coach?

He isn't making any strides to fix the problems like backroom staff, coaching staff and players' Instead he buy's supposedly world class player on top of world class player and hopes it solves the problem.

We have an entirely different back room staff to what we had last year.

There's only 1 coach at our club and he play's on the field, until we get rid of him and the rest of the dross in the boardroom, backroom we will go nowhere.
Simon Moran has the power to make those type of decisions but he doesn't.

Apology accepted you were wrong.

Why was i wrong, weather we have different backroom staff or not there dross and need the sack.

Are you suggesting Cullen played no part in recruitment?

You said he doesn't change.... oh what's the point.

I am very tempted to lock this thread, slagging off Mr Moran is quite unbelievable.

Leave it!

This is comedy gold.

Please do because it's like banging my head against a brick wall.

No im not suggesting that at all, Cullen was an example of Moran letting his mates run riot at the club.

You should try doing just that, it might knock some sense into you.

What im saying is true, Ive never said he's bad for the club like some people are thinking, he could however run it better seen as he has a lot of power to do so.

I'm not sure what else he can do other than sign the members of staff the coach wants. We lost Stridgeon so now we have Halmshaw who I'm sure was Jimmy's choice, and we have Nigel Wright, again, I'm guessing he was Jimmy's choice.

We have recently brought in John Bastian to the academy and he will be a massive part of this club's future. If word on the street is to be believed, we'll have Tony Smith as our head coach next year, and he'll probably bring in his own set of staff, who I'm sure, if needs be, Simon will probably back to bring in whatever coach he desires, and if we do let a few players go, then he'll probably back him to bring in a lot of players.

There is a germ of an argument in this. It could be argued that Simon Moran, as a fan, does not see what an emotionally unattached business man or woman would see. However, the ludicrous and contradictory statements made in this thread and then the denials that any such statements have been made reduce the argument to a farcical one.

If he did get involved more in the level suggested he'd only be accused by some of interfering, especially if results still didn't go our way. He's damned if he does and damned if he doesn't in certain quarters.

I think it's time to lock this. We've had:

-Ludicrous criticism of a "proper fan" - I don't like that sort of term normally, but Simon Moran's comitment to the club is surely undoubted, he's put his money where his mouth could be (in more ways than are public knowledge) for no personal gain other than he wants the club to succeed because he is a fan.

-Ill thought out, inaccurate claptrap.

-Personal insults and arguing.

So, not getting anyone anywhere.
