We could do a lot worse than Grix/Murrell and in all likelihood they or one of them will be our next coach once Marshall moves on.

Regards half backs I also feel we should be looking to bring in a hooker and as soon as Leigh went belly up I would have been straight in for Liam Hood, another who we have had the chance to sign in the past. Similar to the halfbacks one or two hookers could be named that we dillied and dallied over and ended up missing out.

As I see it. The club orRM seem to be of the opinion that the most expenceively paid player in the squad has to play, wether they play good or not.

With some players you don`t notice just what they do until they don`t play. For years i wondered what Jack Scroby did until he stopped. Same with Karl Harrison until he would miss a game......

We all know the limitations of players. It a case of pick the ones who give you the most.

I wonder if the player you thinking of was nominated for Champ player of season by his peers.

I've allus said the same about Karl Harrison. Immense.

You could put any number of supporters from any number of clubs in a room and ask them their opinions on recruitment and get any number of different answers.
Next couple of weeks should reveal what RM is thinking for next year.

In regards to the half backs; I like Ben Johnston - He offers something different. I like Scott Murrell - He's a leader.

However, I think a lot of people over look the importance of a ball playing full back. I bet there aren't many who singled out Jonno or Muzza as having bad games when QLT played the few games he did. He sparked our attack and the halves marshalled the forwards around the pitch.

On the same point, it was the same when Grix was at loose forward - it takes the pressure off the half backs having an extra pivot.

My opinion - Either play Grix at loose forward and keep Sharpy at full back or play Grix in the second row, Sharpy on the wing and bring another skilful fullback in. Moss has been solid but he doesn't offer much spark does he.

Just another point on Muzza - he's lost that yard of pace now so puts him in a vulnerable position when defending out wide. Is it time he moved to loose forward? Maybe an option but just a thought.

Last thing, I'd like to see another Dylan Nash type centre at the club.

Don't the backrow do all the running about, cover tackling and takeing the ball up He could do a better job upstairs as Football Manager helping RM out IMOP.

i always went to matches thinking going to lose with him not playing and usually did.

Presume by him you mean Murrell - His job isn't to be taking the ball up, or even necessarily "doing all the running about". It's to control the game and control his players. I agree with the "cover tackling" which eludes to my comment about moving further infield.

I think Murrell will be more of a coach than a Director of Football. Very knowledgable when it comes to the game and how it should be played.

Then again, who's available to take on that position - who knows.

Here's a question for everyone - Would you rather see an oversea's player come to the club or a director of football be instated? I bet it would likely cost the same amount of ££££

A mate who went to the Leeds game who hadn't been for 15 years thought Jonno was our best player. I can't remember the last time anyone on here was happy with our half backs. Even Ben Black and Holroyd got loads of criticism, and people (at the time) were happy to see the back of Brambani and Robinson. Our real problem is having no strike centres or full back, which was highlighted more than anything when we played the SL teams.

We had moronic fans that slagged off Hagan!

Rocket Ronnie Ryan and Mike Hagan would do nicely for me right now....

Or even Sammy Sanderson

I remember it well, as well as Ron Ryan. Other half backs who got caned included Paul Handforth, the late Danny Jones and Luke Branigan. Penky got his ear bent when tried at half back, and I also remember many saying "he's not really a stand off" about the great Chris Anderson. Johnny Blair help beat Wakey in the CC but he "kicked too much". You probably have to go back as far as Mick Blacker to find the last "moan-free" Fax half back. But then again maybe further back still to Bruce Burton or Stan Keilty.

Johnny Blair's habit's a new one on me..
