There's only a can of worms if you believe GH is taking money from the club rather than signing/paying players. I'd be careful what is being hinted at WRT what a private company is doing with money when nobody on here has a clue. Without actually understanding how the business operates, nobody reading static accounts can read too much into specific payments/receipts.

Quite true. However, it is worth pointing out that the common thread to most director's loan arrangements is the avoidance of tax over a period of time.

So what do we all think about Gary's letter this morning? Basically saying there'll be a full review of playing, coaching and managerial staff in a few weeks time after the Wigan game.

Home grown tallent is surely more economical than the two major alternatives, buy in quality and pay a transfer fee as well as the wages OR don't buy in quality and watch income fall as the team ends up as also rans every season. Additionally if we produce more tallent than we can field, we potentially get additionl revenue from transfer fees.
Their is the further benefit from raising our own in that they are known quantities, should understand the prevailing culture and be able to "fit in" at the club.
The point I was trying to make is you can get plenty of quality players in the NRL - we should know we have plenty - without any transfer fee. How many youngsters have been through our academy and attracted a substantial transfer fee?
It is preferable from an interest point of view to see youngsters come through also from an aspirational point for the amateur game. Whether it is cost effective I am unsure especially if you look at the number of coaching/conditioning staff required to support it?
It looks good when you are producing a production line as in early 2000's but it clearly isn't delivering if the last 18 months is anything to go by
Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.

Things must be bad for him to write a note in that context - if things don't improve he can't sack all the players, he can't get new ones in and he is going nowhere so it all points one way!!
