Thackray the one trick pony has no kicking game and is not very creative, as we noticed when played for Widnes. Too many dropped balls and no forward power to make hard yards.

Luck is a combination of preparation and opportunity
Just to avoid confusion Starbug is the username of Steven Pike
SOMEBODY SAID that it couldn’t be done
But he with a chuckle replied
That “maybe it couldn’t,” but he would be one
Who wouldn’t say so till he’d tried.
So he buckled right in with the trace of a grin
On his face. If he worried he hid it.
He started to sing as he tackled the thing
That couldn’t be done, and he did it!:9005.jpg |

Interestingly enough, Fax did get " Are you Widnes in disguise? " today  |

I'm endeavouring not to show any bias here, but from what I've seen in previous seasons and on his last few performances as a Batley player, I reckon Fax would have been better keeping hold of Black as opposed to signing Thackeray. Black seems to have retained a fair bit of his pace in what are now advancing years, and is pretty good as a creative force - something that Thackeray has never shown. In our friendlies against Keighley and Huddersfield its been interesting to see him getting extremely vocally involved in organising our attack - and to good effect - an area in which I feared we might lack something given Handforth's departure.

So, we're concluding the success/failure of players already and we've not kicked off yet.
Your assessment of Black needs to come at the end of the season (give a chance for his injuries to bed in) not after a couple of meaningless friendlies. There's some right tuppence 'appeny pundits on here.

wouldnt read too much into that effort yesterday. Karl will not stand for that, and they will get flogged in training this week. back to basics me thinks, catching and tackling!
they need to improve by 500% or else Hudds will be a cricket score. early days though.

Could n't make it yesterday but just read the little report in Courier, does n't sound good but it is still pre-season and we have a number of players out injured so hopefully things will improve. Does sound like our defence out wide is struggling though and last week it was sieve like when Salford moved the ball through hands.

New teams take time to gel; however I haven't seen that much in pre season that make me think we can go all the way this year. Leigh for me are one of the benchmarks... and they pounded us...

No, not at all. I said I know teams take time to gel, what I went on to say is that I haven't seen anything showing me that we are starting to gel in way that will put us in the mix.

You are going to be without Nanyn also. I was talking to him and he is having a scan on his knee but thinks it needs surgery.

Yes it was, but he said it wasn't as bad as thought, but still out for 2 months. Think we need to start looking for loanees or D/R sooner rather than later.
