By identifying all of those roles, you've pretty much done the job of the Director of Rugby.

Despite having many rugby league friends, I often find football is the more prevalent topic of conversation. It's the most watched in pubs when I play darts around the city in the Thursday (even European games). It's unprecedentedly more popular amongst young people from when I was teaching. There's just no question. City get a higher combined attendance currently. Even if many are from out of town, think how many Leeds fans, Man City fans, Man Utd fans, Liverpool fans, Arsenal fans, Chelsea fans, etc. there are. Football is just so much more inclusive due to how easy it is to play, how accessible it is follow, watch and play. You can't get away from it. It'll always be more widely followed here.

No Saudi oil money for us. The dream was funny whilst it lasted

Absolutely nothing of note came out of that. "We've hopefully got some investors. They're not from Hull." "We've been working with the new DoR for a while. Can't name him though."

One thing you could never knock Radford for. Always quick-witted.

Hearing Nu Brown has left too

Like I've said, there's definitely more to it than just coaching. But that doesn't mean it's not coaching also. 4 drubbings on the bounce and only 1 win (just) since August tells a lot.

I'm hearing there's more news to come. I hope so. We've gone backwards in pretty much every metric in the last year and a bit. On the field has been the worst it's been since we moved to the new stadium. For those that say you can't blame the coach for that, I say you can't not blame him for any of it. He's still got to get the players playing, and he's just not done that in spectacular fashion. There's a lot of people that need to leave our club, and a lot that need to come in. That won't happen unless the people coming in first are new investors. Please, let the new people coming in be new investors!

How many years has that been said?

It's a shame Moi Moi was greedy and wanted his name repeating otherwise he could have been in such esteemed company.

Personally, I'd have had top of Championship promoted, and bottom 2 SL clubs enter into the Championship playoffs. One guaranteed relegation, with potential for two.

I think the S8s showed there was a real appetite for inter-division competition. But I think the consensus by most was 7 weeks + final was too long. Naturally, we never explored the concept of playoffs between top and bottom clubs again in another form.

Yet we've been even worse in the first half each of those games. I thought 28-0 was bad, but letting in 40 is horrendous.
