<p> </p>
<p>Season Tickets....surely got to be frozen given the inadequacy we have seen?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Signings....names haven't sent pulses racing but if the number to be leaving is high then need a large incoming, can proper quality be provided?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Communication....simple posts building up to signings, maybe a bit of creativity with signing videos or memes (IMG will like this)....plus more meaningful communication about the goals and drive of the club. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>New kit.....kit/meet the players and new coach event?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Match Day prices.....too high for the floating spectator?</p>
<p>Let's see if he(&amp;others) are up to it....</p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>We are pretty sure that we wont like what he says, unless he has found a 'money tree'.</p>
<p>In truth that maybe what the Board signed him for. Nobody on the Board, as far as I know, has run a club before and that leaves them wide open to being taken for a ride. Hamilton has that knowledge and can advise the Board where the pitfalls are.</p>
<p>They had inherited Finney but some on this site were plainly unhappy with him, so the club needed a new advisor. I have never met the bloke and he maybe a bit 'straight' with his opinions and that can be upsetting.</p>
<p>But then again maybe that is what we need, some straight talking behind closed doors.</p>
<p>We can all paint our own picture but in the end only time will tell! </p>]]></content:encoded>

                        <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Hate to spoil a good moan, but he actually says in his most recent post is that he hopes we can finish the season on a positive note at Featherstone. No mention of a top 6 finish as far as I can see.</p>
<p>I think it may well be wishful thinking, as my guess is that Featherstone will want to win their last home game of the regular season, but may rest a few players for the play-off games.</p>
<p>Not sure why Hamilton chooses to put post-game comments on line (with his tag line "I hate  rugby league", depending on the result), presumably in a personal capacity as a "fan", when the Club's communication with fans is almost non-existent.</p>]]></content:encoded>
