acersaccharum Posted March 25, 2022 Share Posted March 25, 2022 2 hours ago, langpark said: I noticed thst too. They were actually posting decent (and regular) content right up until then. Does anyone know what has happened? Has their social media guy had a fallout with the club, and does not want to surrender login details or something? It all seems too sudden to just be simple "mismanagement". I initially posted about this social media issue back on the 6th March, pointing out that, even for a home game, there was absolutely nothing, whatsoever, being posted about the game! It's clearly got worse over the past few weeks. Even when previously in the Championship, prior to Super League, the Twitter account, just for one, was updated live during games, with players profiles & sponsors posted, when they scored! The, often amusing, player gif's, for the same, during Super League, were classics! I just wonder, as I posted earlier this month, what the club and player sponsor's think about this, IMHO, very sad situation, that the club appears to be in! It's definitely not good, and, sadly, like a lot of these things, I fear that it's a sign of worse to come...I hope not though! For me, it was great to see Alex scoring last week, but, hopefully, that was not just a reminder of how good things were when he was last here, in Ealing! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm probably bias as I am a Skolars fan, although my first love is RL. I would agrue that Skolars (set up, owners, community connection, ethos, long term home, own club house) have all the right ingredients except resources. Investment in Skolars could deliver major returns. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a really weird comparison. Why are you comparing the strength of the team and contract type with where you live?

And what happened the week after Coates played in the 1st team? They chose to play a centre at half instead of him! Right choice to let him leave LB. Next question is - can we get someone to play next to Leyland who can look less like a rabbit in the headlights and bring the attacking force to both edges as that is the thing that is currently lacking! Siti may have qualities (not convinced) other than being an OZ but is not a FB or a half! Need to stabilise and support Leyland for balance on pitch.

Interesting - I’d say if it’s either of those then why are they available? Chisholm not making it in Fev team but would be an experienced steady half and bring a balance - not been convinced by siti in either position tried so far!

Dunbar Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 9 hours ago, ShropshireBull said: Its Why sadly without internationals entincing in some multi millionaire to do it right and basically lose 2 million a year every year they arent in SL the ship has sailed on rl in London. 60k isnt even a deposit yet the cap is basically that per player. Noone who is sane or not a millionaire wants to live there. People were forced to live there for a good job and anyone who can remote work is rightly fleeing that over priced hole. Its why not allowing Manchester Rangers in (500k pop, in a heartland but in need of rejuvinate and new commercial partners, where the rfl now based themselves) is unforgivable. Well, I agree with all of that apart from the 'overpriced hole' bit. The part where I live is nice (and the property market is pretty hot so nobody is really fleeing London).

Dunbar Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 16 minutes ago, ShropshireBull said: I think if you look at the trend people who can are leaving . The market is hot because its used as a place to internationally wash money and buy to let. Theres a reason companies and lobbyists were screaming for people to go bk to the office because so much money is wrapped up in leeching off people who had to rent there for work. It simply isnt a place fit for human habitation. Sentences like this just don't lend themselves to reasonable dialogue. Yes, London is expensive and yes, there are parts I wouldn't want to live but equally there are some very nice parts. I have friends here from all over the country and all over the world who live here because they want to live here, not because they have to. To say it isn't fit for human habitation is simply proved false by all the available and easy to see evidence. 1 "The history of the world is the history of the triumph of the heartless over the mindless." — Sir Humphrey Appleby.

In terms of League, it is now unaffordable for the cap. Yes, I agree with this. If we are serious about attracting professional players to London, a one size fits all cap isn't going to work... there has to be a significant London allowance to compensate for the difference in pricing (housing in particular - both rental and buy).

Dunbar Posted April 9, 2022 Share Posted April 9, 2022 2 minutes ago, ShropshireBull said: Well noone is going to play professional sport to rent a house. If the cap now is 2 you probably need 3 million. London is great for internationals and they should get more but a club I think is too late sadly. I would imagine plenty of professional sports people rent rather than buy. Renting can be seen as dead money but if you have a two year contract anywhere, why would you fork out for legal fees/stamp duty etc. just to move on to a new town/city in a years time.
