Francois Hackson. The big name I'm waiting to hear what happens to

The rest is noise for me until this dud goes.

Yep. Fingers crossed.

Anyone heard any word on his future?
Goneski but may be after the draft. Hartley too.

I've heard whispers. Not great sources though. However, you'd have to say that he is the mastermind of our predicament and the review would not have been kind to him.

Don't think I can argue with that but it'll be interesting to see if that's what the RFC will believe :shh

Sacking Hartley & Hackson after trade week & the draft?

A bit like putting the rubber on after sex.

correct.  why would they now give a stuff?  It's like when you give notice at work, you spend the last 4 weeks surfing the net, at the pub or taking extra long dumps in the toilet
Does anyone have half an idea on anything?

Only at Tigerland.

Most other footy clubs sack their coach if the side doesn't play well, in our case we sack his assistants and keep the senior coach? Baffling to say the least.

Probably fair enough too, it's most likely their fault that after 7 years we cannot even win 1 final.

Well played RFC.

If they were gonna sack jackson and hartley wouldn't it have made sense 12 weeks ago so your new recruiting team has some time to get up to speed.  The way Caro puts it the review reckons the problem is in development which may be right. Why isn't C Ellis a gun player by now or at least a regular. We know he can kick well.

The other point is that we are probably looking at getting rid of Vickery, Conca, Edwards, B Ellis and Lennon with talk of Lids and Jack.
I would say that every one of those players has shown enough talent over the journey to be good senior players at any other club.
So we decide to move on all those players and keep the coach that has caused the damage.

This board, its stupid decision and stubbornness in refusing to rectify it  is costing us in terms of players and money.
Sack the bloody cause of the problem - the senior coach and the board.

Typical gutless cynical Richmond.

Blame the Indians so as to cover the ars of the Chiefs.

Same mistakes covered up over and over again. Never learn a thing.

And we let them get away with it every time.

C Ellis  :huh3

2nd year in the system? Been injured the 2nd half of this season and missed a number of games. So he wasn't exactly available

Extremely harsh singling this kid  :-\
