| One of the Healey brothers is too busy pumping millions into the Tory party and the other one is dead.

It's little more than poorly disguised mischief making.

Just out of interest what information do you have to make your statement that it is 'poorly disguised mischief making'?

Like Graham, I'd also heard that investment was coming from a member of the Healey family and that it wasn't Malcolm Healey or Wren. Whether there is anything in it who knows, only time will tell but it would be a positive for Adam and the club.

| So Healey is coming in as a white knight to save you in your hour of need and all our actual confirmed board members are just in it to end our club with in 7 years to bulldoze the ground and take the lane off us?

I'd heard it was a pure speculation/unfounded.

| It is rather interesting that Graham provided information on new investment and a few weeks later our owner states our current coach will 'probably be his last'. AP either sees Tony as a long term appointment or there really is some new investment on the horizon.

| Neither Eddie nor Malcolm ever showed any interest in local sport as far as I'm aware. Time will tell if one of the next generation has decided to invest although I'm not sure if an astute businessman would do so just to off a rival.

I quite agree with you regarding any business man willing to offload a load of cash just to pee off a rival. I can assure you from first hand knowledge that one of the brothers has invested cash into a local sports club. So who knows finger's crossed

Great business acumen shown by Wakey, signing a player on a two week loan when there is no game in week 2 of the loan

Didn't Branson do similar with what is now Virgin Atlantic? I'm sure he did it to p1s5 Britiosh Airways off as he had some beef with them.
Either way any investment that comes in to RL is much needed as its currently not a sport that makes much money due to the poor marketing ploys and strategies by the sports Governors and Owners.
Hopefully with IMG these things will improve greatly over the coming years.
Back on topic, I do think that once Trueman is back on the field along with Hoy & Clifford and we can keep them on the field together we will improve my only concern is with the rest that have a track record of throwing the towel in early.

| The optimist in me thinks things are bound to get better. Trueman coming in to complete our spine getting games under their belts and improving, Carlos/Savelio getting back to their bests after long layoffs, forwards finding a bit of forrm, its all bound to happen eventually right?
The pessimist side however thinks things will continue to get worse. Granted this is by far the worst position Wakey have found themselves in, however they have a habit of always just doing enough to survive. They know how and when to dig in during a relegation battle, whilst we don't. If we come to the final few games of the season with only a couple wins between us and them I would be bricking it

Iām in a similar boat here, you look at some of our squad and think surely we have to have a purple patch at somepoint. The purple patch only has to last 2-3 games to stay up lol.
Iām hoping this international break will be the catalyst for turning a corner. For me, we need to be looking at 3-4 days of real hard graft followed by a friendly against a mid table champ side. We have no one selected so can go out with a full strength side and then let kids have last 20-30 mins. Ironically itās usually after the international break we fall apart so maybe we decided to be crap before it and class after
If Iām right, I heard Truey wouldāve been available for that weekend had it not been the international break. If we can find a game on a decent pitch he could have a run and get 40 minutes under his belt before having the pressure of winning us a grand final with and unbeaten run all the way to world Club champions

| Wakey signing players like Hewitt and Milnes are going to improve them too much or save them, they are decent long term signings. Same if they signed for us, not sure would improve our best 17.
We have shown we can play, I'm sure we will play well and win enough games to be safe. As bad as we are, we should be beating Wakey.

If I remember correctly you said the same thing about beating Leigh.
