Fans, especially the passionate one's of both our clubs need to be kept on side with the club. That doesn't mean winning trophies every year but respect shown and a bit of honesty. I'm not trying to go tit for tat but it has been pretty refreshing this year at KR in some of the things the club is doing to help ensure fans feel involved, from the free ticket scenario to connor lynes been added to the squad and even little things such as campo addressing the crowd in castle bar in perps - which probably was pre planned. Does radford have somebody advising him or is there a PR management at the club? ( from the posts on ere i gather not)
Regardless of performances - It looks like civil war is about to break out. In such a pivotal year surely this is counter productive?
The issue of playing boring RL for many seasons, is now starting to come to a head.
Fans are sick,of the lack of attractive entertaining style of RL, which is witnessed at other clubs.
Personally, I would rather lose, but witness my team playing a different brand of RL which is being served by the current regime.
I blame the previous & current owner's mentality, they hire unproven Head Coaches,& think by spending up to salary cap maximum, this will produce a match winning attractive side.
IF they did the opposite, hired a proven coach, but not spent the maximum, this in my opinion would work, -however the owner's priority is to sell tickets & merchandise firstly.
