I note from your website that you should have actually had a more successful year in reality:

If only the RFL hadn't changed the rules without informing the clubs.

Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

I think this is a rather odd thing to put on our website as it is utterly irrelevant. Things are as good or bad as this years league table shows, not under some hypothetical points system that is now gone! We all know we have lost a lot of matches by a few points - it does not make it any less frustrating or annoying!

A pathetic thing to put on - the rules are different and even with bonus points we are in roughly the same position.

The club for whatever reason seem to be in a fantasy land where nothing is wrong and ignoring the fact that for 2 seasons running we have been absolutely dog s#it on the field!

Lets do another table of how many games teams have thrown away leads, been tactically outclassed, taken one man drives and taken the wrong option near the line - we'd be in super league.

Weve lost 20 out of 29 games, possibly 21 out of 30 after tomorrow - thats a pretty poor effort and its quite embarrassing that we feel the need to sugar coat it, polishing turds doesnt work, and you just end up with it smeared all over the floor.

What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of respect for the law

It just emphasises the garbage season we had this year is similar to the garbage season we had last year doesn't it?

Pointless exercise.

Not as bad as it seems?? It is, believe me.

Yet in past seasons it was ok for people to post tables without the BP in place. Some people are over critical on here. Some people find it interesting to see this sort of thing. Calling it pathetic only shows which people simple look for any way to have a dig at the club at any and every opportunity.

Yes the hypothetical table does not matter but does not deserve the comments on here.

The hypothetical table was not the Clubs idea and certainly was not trying to prove anything.

The webmaster just thought it was something to look at out of interest. Nothing more and nothing less.

If you think it is pathetic so be it. I personally couldn't care less

But it was on the club's official website and so would look as if it were official club input.

It doesn't give a very professional image of the club if this sort of stuff is given prominence on the website

Priceless, you continue to make a mockery of the fans and see how long you last, youre doing it all yourself Kevin and to tell them "I COULDNT CARE LESS" shows you have an absolute total disregard for anyone but yourself (something ive known for years)  look over just the last couple of days and you have meticulously gone about and succeeded upsetting and critisising some supporters who have until now been on your side 100%

 

You sir have lost the plot and you should take your own advice and live up to your many many promises of not posting on here ever again, you making yourself and more importantly the club look stupid

Can't honestly see how it is unprofessional but I am on the phone now to get it removed so there can be one less thing to moan about.

My wife is always telling me as I get older I complain more well she needs to go on here more. Or maybe not!

 

l think you miss the point! The website is the official mouthpiece and image for the club. Whatever is on there is seen, or should be seen as reflecting the views of the club! The table/bonus point page suggests that we haven't done as bad this season as we have actually done- comes across as patronising and an excuse. It would have been fine posted on here, where it could have illicited interesting discussion but not from the club! 

 

l know this forum and the views expressed on here frustrate you, annoy you and probably make you angry, but it is an unofficial public forum and therefore not reflective of the club! The website is and l think should reflect the official views, and be tightly controlled by you and the directors. (l have no idea who the web master is, but think that whoever it is should not have control over the content on the website! Surely that should be you!)

 

I believe that you should worry less about what is on here (I suspect easier said than done) and worry more about the website. In the end, it is that which promotes our club to the uninitiated, not here!

Personally I found it interesting. I preferred the bonus point system and it is useful to compare the tables. It rewarded sides who were competitive every game and penalised sides who targeted games.

However, if I hadn't, I don't think I would have been complaining as I try to respect the fact that other people enjoy articles I don't.

It's interesting that we would have been 9th again under last years rules and in a tougher league.  It's a somewhat flawed argument though, because if last year's rules had applied then it's possible that some of this years results would have been different with teams targeting a bonus point. 

 

 For what it's worth last year we won 46% of our games whilst this year we have won approx. 31% of our games.  It means nowt, of course, given that last years league was much weaker.

Who was responsible for the photo used for the supporters club coach on the web site and advertising the supporters club awards  night on facebook? Perhaps they could ask the supporters club for a relevant photo

I believe the webmaster is Dave Maxey. As regards content, surely someone at the club must have to be aware of published information. If not ,that's strange, and potentially, could be compromising the club.

WHERE DO YOU WANT ME TO SWIPE THIS?

I was aware of content. I did not provide it. I was asked could a comparison table be put on site as it had been mentioned the bonus point system made no difference. In fact it made a slight difference and was a bit better for us . So what? It was just something to look at. It has now been removed.

It shows we were competitive in 12 games we ultimately lost but that is little comfort as we should have turned some of those into wins.

I don't see this as a big issue but if people do then that is a contrary opinion and so be it.

Cannot see how it is patronising but could see how it could have been interpreted as an excuse. It is not as clearly the fact we would have done a bit better under old system is interesting maybe( or maybe not) but of no consolation.

My previous post was simply pointing out that I could not see how it could be described as pathetiic and that is still the case.with hindsight ( which is a great thing) I wished I had not sanctioned it as I COULD NOT CARE LESS about comparison with the previous system. It is not important to me , it is irrelevant and is not an excuse. Surely that is it on this very minor issue.
