Henderson on Twitter - Bash and Franchising : Wed May 24, 2017 8:03 am
Listened to a very interesting interview on twitter with Andrew Henderson conducted (I think) by the Bradford commentator.It was a really good, and interesting interview. On the Bash he said he expected to have 3/4 players back - Api, Bienek, Hellewell and possibly Ackers. Which is great news. He went on to say that within 2/3 weeks Battye and Spencer would be back. He said he would then have a full strength squad with the only injury is to Grant who is out for the season, all of which is great news. He then spoke very well about the season, how important 4th place was (critical to keeping the squad full-time), and how he shook the team up. Realistic, tough and very honest.
Finally he spoke about the possible reintroduction of franchising and possible changes going forward. Again he was eloquent and honest. Very sensible about London going forward - need for ground improvements and to build crowds, and that timescale was likely to be more like 4 years rather than 1/2. realistic and sensible in my view, also said we spend way below our cap. Again realistic, sensible and pragmatic.
finally he moved on to the game and RL management. Without naming names he was pretty scathing about the top of the RL, the lack of vision, too many yes men, need for a shake up..........
Lasts about 15mins, well worth a listen
