point for point:
some of out BOD fell that lavu is the kind of player to take us forward
"The kind of player to take us forward" - you're being dramatic. Lavulavu is simply a player who "some of our BOD" may or may not be considering as an addition to our squad for next season, depending on whether we believe the
rumours.
the fact that the coaching issue has been allowed to drag on and on and not sorting it either way stops us from preparing properly for next season
I think the board will have made up their mind, and I expect we won't be seeing DR as coach next season. If the BOD were to come out and say this right now, the likely consequence would be that DR is undermined in his position as head coach and this would affect our progression in this season's play-offs.
Some might say "forget the play-offs" and "concentrate on/build for next season", but we still need to maintain our "best semi-pro club in Britain" status by beating Leigh and Halifax, and money still needs to be made from gate receipts in the latter stages of the play-offs.
that we are on the verge of loosing 8/9 first team regulars and seem to be intent on replacing them with un proven players
As far as I'm aware we're only losing Steve Trindall, Steve Maden, Aaron Smith, David Seeds and the fan favourite Simon Baldwin, which by no stretch constitutes "8 or 9 first team regulars". I'm also sure that the board are intending to replace most of these players with credible additions to the squad, but can't make known who those additions are for reasons Des Byrne has already stated elsewhere on this board.
add to this the rumours of a big split in the BOD, people not getting paid, and others wanting to take over who seem to have money and vision but the likley hood of them being alowed to is nil
"rumours"
so remember mid season next year when were 6/7 in the league and crowds of 1200 read this again
I don't believe things will get that bad. I don't think we'll be competing in the top 2 next year but we'll still be well within play-off range.
