Please do not take my post as a pop at you personally. It was certainly not intended that way. Are you in charge of how the money in the club is spent? I didn't think so, maybe I'm wrong? I do support some of the investment in facilities, but my point is, there has to be some balance in what is spent on facilities and playing squad.

Whilst I really applaud the investment in the facilities and the ground, surely there has to be some balance. Every penny the club has had historically, is seemingly spent modernising this, that and the other, yet we never spend anything like what we should be doing on the squad. Without whom, we won't have a team to watch, the soul reason the club exists. Is the thought process, spectators will all continue to attend matches basking in light of the new TV in the bar, or perhaps taking a lovely winters stroll around the pitch, whilst enjoying a homemade pie under the best floodlights in RL, even though the team on the field is incapable of competing?

As has been asked elsewhere, what is the plan Kevin? Do you know something we don't? Is there a reshuffle of the divisions on the cards, therefore no relegation this season. Hence the lack of investment in the squad. I hear Moxon asked for 5 players at the start of the season and got 1, Kibula, who got injured and is out for the season. Are you bringing anyone else in, to at least try to avoid relegation? Have you thrown the towel in? It certainly looks like the players have. Do you not trust Moxon? If not, why appoint him? If you do trust him, then for god sake back him financially. I hear the club is currently running at a loss to the tune of £400 per week. I cannot validate this claim, just the word from the terraces, but if so, we are talking about an extra 20 fans paying at the gate per week to make up the deficit. We are not talking about thousands in losses. How much do you think the club will be losing if you continue with this lack of investment in the squad? I sadly cannot tell you an exact figure, however, I can guarantee it will be a damn site more than 20 that will be staying away, and losses far in excess of £400 per week.

...but at least we'll have the best floodlights in the rugby league. No players to play under them, because we've spent all the money on the lights instead of players. Neither will we have any spectators to bask under the lights, because they have got sick of watching the club implode, because Kevin has this crazed notion that sodding lights are the be all, and end all. Lights that are only likely to be used twice a season, at a push.

Completely agree, I'm also sure the IMG fiasco has had an impact on the fanbases of many clubs too. With effectively nothing to play for, for most clubs outside of SL, how many fans have already/will turn there back on the game completely?

I hadn't seen that Bromley, very sad to see him go if true, he is the best acting HB distributor at the club IMO. Defensively, he needs a bit of work, but he is only young and would be well worth persevering with.

I think most RL fans are quite bitter about the shenanigans at the Bulls. It epitomises most of what is wrong with the game, and the main reason why lots of fans are walking away from it. Quite how the RFL, under the stewardship of a current director of the Bulls, could buy the Odsal lease for £2M a couple of years ago, then be allowed to buy it back, as director of the Bulls, for less than 10% of the amount the RFL originally paid is beyond belief. I'm sure most clubs would be thriving if the RFL had essentially gifted them circa £1.8M. How this has not been the subject of independent investigation is even more baffling. Please let me know, if any of this post is factually inaccurate.

McGillvary and Griffin were pretty decent additions.

Most teams in the division have been very inconsistent this season. We have beaten Bradford once, Widnes, Sheffield and Swinton twice. Yet we have lost to Doncaster and Halifax twice .(no disrespect intended), teams you would have expected us to beat at least at home, given we were good enough to have done the double over 2 of the current top 6. Swinton have turned over Featherstone and Toulouse, games you wouldn't have expected them to have much of a chance in.

I don't disagree with you. Gilmore has been distinctly average against us in the 3 games this season. As I say, it is a debatable point, should the halfbacks have to tell players where they need to be running? I would argue not, given the experience in the team. However, something needs change. I'm certainly not in the "Woods berating club", but creativity wise on Sunday, we offered very little in attack.
