I agree with everything Steve May has said, If the parties wanted it done it could could be done. I also take your point which just re-enforces the argument that we are not really a Super league club, other than as making up the numbers till something better comes along, and we are not the only one, Far from it.

If this is true, then to me it implies that the board also think that Thorman is part of the problem. It's realistic to think that if Woolford is appointed, then Thorman won't be sticking around.

I think there are clearly more pressing problems facing the club so I’ll not comment further after this but I think the following:

The club has a massive identity problem, made worse by being seen as cuckooing in Town’s nest

The chances of the club ever pushing a 25,000 capacity are remote. They just don’t, and realistically never will, need those seats. Let’s not forget that under the licensing you got a point for an average of 10,000 and a point for averaging 40% of capacity. 40% of 25,000 is...

The atmosphere in the ground is terrible and will remain so unless we start to pull 12,000+. Which makes the Giants a bit of a sad proposition. Who wants to be part of a sparse crowd rattling round a massive, empty ground.

On top of that there are many known problems with the way the stadium facilities are run (and for once we can’t blame Thewlis)

I really believe that the stadium is not an optimal home for the club. But it’s not going to change anytime soon so it’s really not worth commenting on further.

There are many, many things the club could do in the short/medium term beyond thinking about the stadium.

Be interesting seeing Woolford doing interviews after games.
He was banned from attending games when he coached in the Canberra comp for punching out a window in the coaches box.
http://www.canberratimes.com.au/sport/a ... je57k.html

He seems to be a good coach at improving individual skills. He has improved a lot of players in the Knights reserve grade.
Not nearly as good as Rick Stone though.

Re: new coach thread... : Thu Apr 19, 2018 1:33 pm  
9 month ban seems harsh for that.. but it was end of the season so wont have affected much

has some fire in his belly by the sounds of it, maybe the giants need someone like that to ruffle a few feathers!
