Exactly Friday and FA came out of there positively and we have started signing players permanaently and adding to the squad. They can't help the injuries. I'm now of the thinking we have a future especially with hallas signing on. I think there is a lot to look forward to but it's going to be a long road. But I believe the right intent is now there and regardless of division if next season we have a reserve side alongside bastian signing young players super league clubs feel they should be signing we might actually be in the right hands that no one thought we were. And I am starting to lean towards redeready claims that woods and koukash are behind it

Whilst I fully support Friday and FA in their mission to HQ, but I doubt they ever really wanted the permanent role of being some kind of go between, or acting as a long term conduit for a flow of information. It would be unfair to expect that from them, and equally importantly, many fans don't come on to msg boards anyway and would never see any of it. Obviously, these people don't know what they're missing and should remedy that omission asap....



The dynamic duo certainly came back with some specifics though, and I hope, passed on the hope that the board would see fans as being an important part of 'the plan' going forward, and, with that in mind, that information, via the media, might perhaps be a little more forthcoming in future. It's obviously good that signings have been made, we'd all echo that but the whole bit about connecting with the fans has been done in a totally cack-handed fashion from the start and so needs extra effort now to overcome the, I was going to say, 'bad feeling', but that is maybe a bit strong so I'll say disappointment and feeling of being disregarded which many fans feel.

Well Chalmers did say that if players (which were better than our current players) became available he would sign them; and with Chisholm, Smith, Hallas and (presumably) Tonga he has done exactly this. Apart from Chisholm (which AC said was a mistake) these players were not available earlier in the season, so we couldn't have had them then. /> I'm as disappointed as the rest of you on how this season has turned out, but still AC does seem to be sticking by his statements to FA and we that we reported here. Hell, even the spelling and grammar have improved. Let's see if this proposed size restructure of the academy takes place. /> Admittedly the issue of addressing the greater fanbase does seem to be lacking a little still....

Well said Fr13daY (God, that is difficult to type in tho)..Anything that leads to more belief and less need for questions is of benefit in allaying our concerns as we go through uncharted waters.
