    New Wakey coach...

    in The General Rugby League Forum

    Posted

    Here are the main points made by the new Owner and Chairman

    • Invest finances in the club to allow us to have the budget to maintain a full-time playing squad and to bounce back into Super League and then challenge to be a top 6 Super League club in the coming years.
    • Create a winning culture at the club where everyone involved with club gives 100% effort.
    • Appoint Daryl Powell as the new head coach on an initial 4-year deal.
    • Appoint a recruitment and salary cap manager to ensure we have fully researched every new player signing for the club.
    • Ensure the youth setup and youth scouting setup delivers the best players coming through the Academy/Scholarship and once they reach first team level keep them at the club.
    • Attract and keep top players from both the UK market and overseas.
    • Engage with the supporters and people of Wakefield to make the club the most fan oriented professional sports club in the game. A new Wakefield Trinity App is being developed and will be ready for the start of the new season.
    • Enhance our work with local businesses to attract new sponsors and hopefully negotiate discounts for Trinity supporters (can’t promise this one!)
    • Raise the number of supporters to fill the stadium.
    • Finance/introduce monthly season ticket options to make season ticket payments easier for the supporters.
    • Fully utilise the new East Stand and facilities and put on events for everyone to enjoy.
    • Make the ground facilities better to improve the matchday experience.
    • Ensure our youth, women’s, PDRL, LDRL and Wheelchair teams get the support required to succeed.
    • Work with the Foundation to help maintain and where possible improve our community work.

    Leighs social media team being rather classless tonight, they should know as much as anyone how being relegated affects the club and fans, really don’t think they should be taking the ######

    Correct, I wonder, while they’re sneering,  if they’ve considered all the off field staff who are likely to lose their jobs in the next week or two.

    As you said classless!

    Two thingt the Giants academy side of 2016-2019 didn't lack was pace and skill in the backs.

    Innes Senior, Dom Young, Jake Wardle, Louis Senior.

    The mainstays of that three-quarter line up.😌

     

    and size

    IS-6’5”, DY-6’6”, JW-6’3”, LS-6’5”

    Not bad for a three quarter line

    It isn't just a tick on a spreadsheet, it's entirely the wrong way to look at it. 

    They will spend money on modernising facilities which is what minimum standards are all about. 

    The alternative is waiting for years and something never happening. 

    A system that forces clubs to improve facilities is a good one. 

    £2Million won’t scratch the surface at Weldon Road, they’re better off waiting and adding that money to whatever they can raise in the short term future

    anything else is just frittering the money away on superficial cosmetics

    Yorkshire decline ?

    I hope people aren't trying to draw a correlation between a poor season for most SL sides east of the Pennines and the decline community game. That's a completely different conversation, so far removed from SL, that it really can't be linked - at all. 

    There is a correlation but it’s the other way around

    The decline in the community game of]verb20 years or so has inevitably lead to a decline in the professional game. If you reduce the number of people taking up the game then you narrow the base of the talent pyramid which eventually leads to a reduction of quality at the very top. We’re now seeing that reduction in quality play out across the Superleague where there are many players who just aren’t good enough and wouldn’t have been top players 15 years ago

    Yorkshire decline ?

    in The General Rugby League Forum

    Posted · Edited by OMEGA

    I think the original post was a genuine one and obviously I don’t mind the banter between East and West of the Pennines but the subject is in fact a very serious one.

    There’s been a visible and measurable decline in participation right across the board, specifically in the strongholds of Yorkshire. Places like Castleford, Wakefield and Hull have seen a huge decline in Amateur Clubs and an alarming reduction in the number of teams run in the surviving Amateur clubs. Where Clubs would run teams at all age groups now it’s hit and miss with many of the age groups missing a team, for example, a club might run teams from U7s to U11s but no U12s or U14s and can only run an U15s because they’ve merged 2 teams from two different amateur clubs.

    At the same time there’s been a similar reduction in Schools participation with some traditionally strong schools not playing any Rugby League at all.

    We often talk about the TV contract and funding as the big issue in the game but no one seems to want to talk about the decline and the REAL participation numbers. It’s no good pretending that they’re OK by including the same Kid 3 times by using his/her participation at school, Amateur Club and Scholarship and pretending it’s 3 players.

    In terms of funding, yes include PDRL, Wheelchair, Women’s and Girls and that’s all good but boys and men’s participation is drastically down over the last decade or two and it’s reaching a critical point.

    What is the Kiwis best team?

    Just watching Jerome Hughes play a blinder against Parramatta and thinking that him and Shaun Johnson as a half back pairing for NZ is the best they've had, on paper. Both are having great seasons. 

    I've not been following kiwi players specifically but wondering if anyone on here has an idea of what their best 17 would be and if it's enough to be competitive with Australia. 

    I’m not sure they’re better on paper or on the field than Stacey Jones and Henry Paul
