HDM called Agar after 10pm the other night and were blatantly trying to provoke a reaction - he took the call, was giving them a story but then they tried digging and asking questions that he didnt and shouldnt have to answer.

if anyone called me after 10pm at night then id probably tell them to ram it. its his own personal time with his family and a 5hit journalist from the HDM is trying to incite him to say something that he can print the next day

I was as annoyed as anyone when i first heard the story but there is a reason for anything the club do. Not saying this is the right thing, but it may make the HDM think twice before they call after 10pm!

But this is not the best way to deal with the situation IMO. It just gives them extra ammunition and pretty much carte blanch to print what they like.

Just makes us look more like a club with no clue really.
The problem is when you decide not to talk to the media you then get no chance to make your own points on the various issues.

It seems that every few months something else turns up and bites us on the a$$. What's next???

Thackray - ok that was our fault - we still reached the Challenge Cup Final
Fridays - attendances seem to be up?
Reardon - Good job we had a clause in the contract regarding his injury, if we hadn't then it would have been a cock-up.

In my opinion all this will be to placate Hudgill after the Cockaynegate episode and the Morgangate fine.

If the club didn't sort Reardon out with a medical prior to contract talks after all that had happend to Cockayne then it show them upto being a shower!!!
