I think our club has learnt its lessons a few times before and do not see this happening again, most contracts for incoming recently have been until end of season with a view to retention next year. A few more games and we will probably see some of these people signed up and existing players retained. The players have a great rapport and spirit. Can’t see many players wanting elsewhere except maybe tangata, Fleming.

Personally I would like to see Martin G publically thanked for his work developing these kids Ie like cov and Neil and co. He has given much to the club and taken little in the way of monetary reward which I know isn't the motivating factor for him, the motivation for him appears to be making a success for young players which Is a very selfless attitude . A thank you never does anyone any harm but we have over recent years been poor on the thank yous to the people who matter and the people who give the most .

Spot on.

Agree with the team and bringing Morris in for Flemming. Flemming keeps slowing down into impact when particularly with his size he should be accelerating into it. Maybe this will give him the message . Daft when Salty is making more yards after impact than your heaviest forward. It's a bit like a boxer always aim through your target not stop on it. The best example of a forward running through a target despite not being all that big was if you remember him that mad Geoff Robinson . Always remember speaking to Brian noble the day after he played against Robinson . Is he just mad!!was the question Nobby asked.

A decision made because of the conditions down here that is all.
