Hey Phantom, dont get mixed up with people who say the right things to your face e.g Club 80 Functions etc and people who actually know what there doing, as they are poles apart.
Rawlings and King are the perfect example.
One would hope that the culture at the RFC is based on:
1. Trust
2. Integrity
3. Inspiration
4. Innovative thinking
5. Mutual support & development
I choose to trust others first, hoping they return that trust.
I know that there are others who believe that you don't trust until another proves that they can be trusted.
I hope this latter method belongs with clubs other than the RFC.
Phantom - not having a dig at you or anything mate, just seems like I debate your posts, but in the above the biggest thing missing is "Respect" and "Honesty".
I don't think Terry or Greg have been "honest" with themselves firstly and secondly with the supporters. Their own ego's and job/media image, preservation and motivations aside, they completely underestimated the list when they took over - SIMPLE. They proceeded from the outset with a dilusional assessment of where the club was at, evidenced by decisions that since have been proven to be wrong and only this year, (some 2+ years into the journey) the reality is being outwardly communicated/admitted to the fans so I hope internally it was realised LONG before now, somehow I doubt it.
Campbell Brown was looked at by Richmond but was rejected according to Miller because he was too small (SEN last week), I have not seen any evidence to see who they recruited who was any "bigger" at the time to support this rationale - happy to be proven wrong. Maybe they didn't want his father at the club was more the truth?, god help us if we let players slip because of who their old man is, particulary concerning "IF" the son has the goods.
The credability of the "reasoning given" for past decisions is really quite comical, when you lay it all down you see so many contradictions, to me this reads like "on the run" list mangement. So when these guys say they have a path or a plan, when do we see it? Is it just me because I have no idea what the Terry plan is?
I don't respect the guys in their roles based on the rubbish they serve up on the ground and the shadow dancing they speak in the media - sorry mate. I don't think they have been honest and until the club sorts out its direction and puts it on the table or starts getting some "sustained" results why should we trust them based on the track record to date?
On the above, 1, 3 and 4 are not tangibles I see in the current climate at RFC.
