Yes , but they don't eat you in Leeds

And you know this from ?

Well , we do actually , but last time we tried it , it wasn't pretty

He's been a member on here since 2005

Is this the organisation that's just cut $ 65 million from its budget ?

All been busy bees while I've been out at work I see

They're not making it easy are they ? Then again , we beat them last time , it was Widnes we struggled with

My very last on this Most if not all clubs have similar foundations/trusts that do exactly the same Again well done Newcastle Thunder

Well done Thunder That's me finished with this one

Probably about a decade ago , before I posted on this site , I spent time on RL fans MB , in one of our many ' debates ' , many involving our apparently no longer on here ' expert ' Scotchy ( smokey TA on Rlfans ) , one of them was an idea I suggested for the RFL to fund teams of marketing footsoldiers , one allocated to each club , but for them to all work as teams focussing one one home game at each club in turn , all overseen by a local manager and then those answering to a GM/CEO , this way the various ideas and initiatives could be evalued ,tweaked and shared among the clubs , the feedbac

My second and third posts No jibes , I don't do jibes , you need to reread my posts if that's what you saw No excuses , just simple facts , why can't clubs in Coventry or south Wales do similar ? , Mostly money Why aren't clubs in the heartlands doing similar ? , They do their best with the money they have , and within the other constraints of other bigger clubs nearby with bigger budgets and profiles who get in first As I put , well done and thank you to the owner for his enthusiasm and investment

I assume you mean me Damien ? But I have congratulated them And indeed , the usual suspects also find it hard to congratulate without comparing to other clubs as well , which I've just suggested above isn't really fair

If ? Find them a billionaire to buy a stadium and poor money into them , and all the other good stuff they are doing , simples

If the lower tier clubs had been sorting out a YouTube ( or similar ) highlights show as they should have done years ago , they'd have been working at that level by now
