Clubs submit a list of off contracts to the RFL Matt shaw published this. It cleatly states Roby is retiring. This has come from Saints. So looks like decision made.
Do you really think that once we get all the backs back (fit) that teams will run round us out wide ? I dont think they will - we do need to sort out the attack once the 7 position is resolved
Coasting towards an 8.5 /10 fantastic to watch attack growing steadily. Then came the the injuries which really kncked Saints off their stride. The injuries disort the final grade but a steady 7 now.
Looking back - dont know what happened at Toulouse; we threw the game at Cas; and only lost by 2 in the semi (and didnt play well) - we have won all the others despite the significant loss of injured players. We can now start again with players back and win LLS and GF - no problems !
Not Watergate but another RFL marketing and PR disaster.
The root cause being that marketing and ticketing is not fit for purpose.
The specific error could have been handled quickly by using some common sense.
There was no indication of an offer with conditions and was
accessible via both the RFL and OurLeague.
Just say an admin error has occured for a really small number of tickets. .
Then request that people who benefited make a donaton to Rugby League Cares.
The matter would have been shut down.
Instead two anonymous press releases put out over several hours,
appearing to have been written by a sulky 12 year old.
Failing to take responsibility and implying some RL supporters don't support the NHS.
Simon Johnson (RFL Chair) doubled down on twitter suggesting fans had potentially tried to abuse an advertised offer.
An offer that in reality , only the likes of Clinton Baptiste could have been aware of.
For a game struggling to fill events and attract new fans , slighting and blaming exsiting fans
for RFL bluders , is not really a model of good practice.
The analogy of TVs on Amazon for £10 is a fair one. Amazon may decide not to fulfil such orders.
However they would ackowledge their error and wouldn't bag their customers.
A win is a win. The real contradiction for me the whole left edge consistently run into cul-de-sacs by Davies. Set that agaainst the off the cuff footy via Paasi. Bought some time but if the same attack persists after the break then there is an issue. Currently looking more comfortable without the ball.
