Does anyone know if the club have one? I'm fairly sure we used to have one but I get the feeling its either not enforced anymore or it doesn't exist?

Do fans think we should have one? What would you like to see in it?

Turn up late for training and you can't smoke at training all week, only on evenings.

Have a bad game and you can only have 5 pints the night before a match.

Things like that y'mean

Only allowed to drink after a match (not enforced when players are on their end of season break), no smoking, turn up to training on time, dont beat your missus etc etc. Fall foul once a fine, fall foul twice your dropped to the reserves for a game and repeat until 5 times or whatever and your out the club. Hardly rocket science really

Not exactly no. I just wondered if it was actually written down somewhere that a player cant drink for say 3 days before a match for example? If it is written down somewhere are all the players aware of it? Are the consequences of not adhering to this policy clearly defined?

The [iimpression[/i is that there's nothing formal in place at all. Or if it is then it simply isn't enforced.

I doubt that it's actually written down but I am sure the players are aware of the do's and don'ts. As for enforcement it seems it's enforced on some and not others.

It's interesting that the Canterbury Bulldogs introduced a written code of conduct that all the players and staff had to sign up to and performances on the pitch have really improved.

I'm sure they are aware of some vague notion of the do's and dont's but I'd be willing to bet they dont know exactly what is and isn't allowed and even if they did I bet they dont stick to it.

FFS Robbo, we have trouble getting players to sign fricking contracts

I know I'm probably expecting too much but I thought I would give it a shot

don't threads like this one make you wish richard swain was still here !

Maybe someone should ring the director later and ask?

Good idea.

If the impression that Agar is too pally with some of them is to believed it would make it difficult for him to enforce the rules.

I wonder what sort of performance measures are in place for the players

See this is why i try not to talk about measures/metrics/stats anymore!!

yes we do have one but i cannot tell you the exact details as it will break the confidentialty agreement.

IMO whether it is written down or not is irrelevent. It is Agars job to control discipline and if some players are going out getting drunk regularly and even smoking then it is his job to put a stop to it. I remember a story involving Gareth Raynor not long after Peter Sharp was appointed, Raynor was fined for being late for training after using the excuse of one of the bridges being up, Sharp's response was something along the lines of "well you knew there was a bridge between your house and the training ground so you should have set off earlier!". Somehow I can't see 'Rich' Agar taking the same approach.

I used to use that Bridges up excuse when i was late for work

Took them 6 months to figure out i lived the same side of river

All this stuff ought to be in the players contracts anyway but as no-one actually looks at their contract after they've signed it a short, one page code of conduct would help.

I don't see why it should be confidential between the club and the players. It would be the same for all of them and wouldn't contain any personal or financial information. Surely its basic, commonsense stuff and surely we, the supporters, are entitled to know what standards the club expects from its players.

If there is one it then has to be enforced consistently and fairly.

Given how pally Agar is with some fans, it makes it difficult for him to hold his head up!

The only 'code' we have in place is a Barcode and Agar thinks 'conduct' is prison ventilation.

I'll get my coat>>>>>

Best one I heard for being late "the cat has died " another one my goldfish passed away

Now you see why Buses ran late

i'll see your confidentiality and raise you "freedom of information"
