I don't think you have any clue as to what RL Cares actually do.
It's comments like this that reminds me why I stopped posting here. By all means disagree but why make it personal? You've no idea who I am or what I've done.

That's not their role.
No, it's not. But the point is RLC is not providing what the players actually need. They need a legal representation and likely counselling.

Reading the comments on there it does feel like there are maybe a couple of isues.
It feels like maybe the comms isn't great from RLCares, or maybe the players don't want to go and sit in a room with Adrian Morley.
But secondly, I wonder whether they are expecting a Union-type service, and RLCares is not that.
Options about employment etc is not really for RLCares.
Morley, as nice as he might be, is hardly qualified to support anyone in this situation. What the players need is legal representation, but Cares receives a grant from the RFL so they're not going to fund a lawyer when it might implicate the hand that feeds them.

Good to see Tony Colins with a new book as he has been quiet for a bit.
It's only been three years since Who Framed William Webb Ellis was published! When you read Roy Francis: Rugby's Forgotten Black Leader you'll see why it's been a few years in the making. Excellent research does not happen quickly.
Anyway, I hope to see a few of you in Wigan on Wednesday. Bring your mates.

Just met with Radford at the KC on the Walk Against Cancer for the Steve Prescott Foundation. He's in good spirits.
-
which championship club did gentle coach before he got the hull job?
He had more experience than Radford.
-
Lee Radford sorted the defence! If he is the new coach he will do well.
Radford is unproven. There is a huge difference between being head coach at East Hull and being head coach at Hull FC. He should go and ply his trade at Championship level first and gain experience.
He is also part of the institutionalisation that has happened at Hull FC. The culture of the club needs breaking if it is to move forward. Bringing in an ex player who is mates with the boys is not the way to bring about positive change.
-
For every person happy with this decision there are 20 who are not happy, if twitter and comments on the official FC Facebook page are anything to go by. Pearson really isn't doing himself any favours on the PR front.
-
He had two years left, not one.
Sorry, I keep forgetting about the extension.
-
That's it, he's gone: http://mobile.hullfc.com/News/Article/30882.
He was an improvement on Agar and I would have been happy to keep him for the final year of his contract. Instead I am praying to all deities that the next one is a proven coach and a further improvement.

Well there's a phenomenon. Rather than relieving pressure in fellow humans, Old Frightful usually induces a rise in blood pressure. :-D
I'm more intrigued by 'turrets syndrome'. Is it some kind of mediaeval pox, or an irrational belief that you were Rapunzel in a past life?
-
Meet the men lined up to replace Gentle...
Lee Radford, Andy Last, Paul Cooke
and maybe even Sean Long Is that someone's idea of a dream team, cos I'm already fearing bloody nightmares...
I do hope that this is journalistic hyperbole rather than an actual indication of the aspirations of our club.
If this happens I won't need any excuse to make this my last season as a pass holder, especially as I will be out of a job this time next year.
If Paul Cooke has anything to do with the club ever again I will abandon all hope for FC evermore and defect to Halifax.
-
I stand corrected. Thanks ehb.
Believe it or not I do know a thing or two about the game and wouldn't have said it had it not been the truth. I could have also told you myself had I not been in an archive looking at Hull KR's annual reports from 1897-1976.
-
Will I ever see a proven coach in charge of my club?
If Radford replaces him it will be a huge mistake. Success with East Hull is one thing, working as an assistant another, but he should go and cut his teeth elsewhere in the Championship before taking on a club like FC.

The video every hetero- and bisexual man should have watched aged 13. You're never too old, guys. ;-)
-
Who should we contact at RL Cares to see if we can do something on match day - after the main event, but still surely worth a bucket collection?
Chris Rostron at RL Cares. :-)

and don't you dictate what people can and can't enjoy. If he doen't like what he says he doesn't like it's up to him
Not trying to! Personally I hate people deeming things in terms of "high brow" and "low brow" - I believe in culture. People are too quick to pass judgement on what is worthy and what isn't, especially about things they have never watched/done/seen etc.

- Big Brother
I watched it. Live from the studio on Monday night! (top right)
I wonder if I am disturbingly highbrow
Or you're a culture snob. Both high and low culture has its positives and negatives, and has its place. Don't deny yourself a healthy dose of both.

I arrived at the library today only to discover that I forgot to bring a pen. Grrr.

No, I don't fail to understand what RLC does. I am suggesting that they're perhaps not best placed to support the players in this instance because they cannot provide what the players need.
I don't see how me suggesting that Morley isn't the best person to support in this instance is me 'piling in' or even commenting on the things he's done previously that have been beneficial. Nor have I made random accusations towards Cares. They do receive funding from the RFL.
You did however say that I know nothing when you don't know me or what I know. That is being personal. I wasn't attacking you, but you attacked me.
Anyway, you all have a lovely day.
