The old school from this group have gone passed their sell by date as an effective team and the time for wholesale changes is overdue anyway.

If we can beat the drop that could be one of the good things to come out of it all.

This years old school, old bodies, old marquee player replaced by some younger, hungrier lads that just want to rip in and play.

Correct, we're 2nd bottom for a reason. A big clear out is needed but i would definitely keep Joe Keyes and Matty Gee.

From the pack im with Greg with just the 3 he named i would be looking to keep plus i would like to see Ben hursey get a run of games to see if he is up to the job. In the backs Woody Jouffret Keyes and Crooks if he can stay fit would be the only ones i would keep. Then just wait and see how the new lads go.

The ever reliable Mick Gledhill says we have signed Ronan Dixon from Dewsbury for next year. And we was close to signing Jimmy Becket too before Fev came in with a bigger offer. And finally Barrow have resigned Greg Worthington in time for saturday i heard a rumour we was trying to sign him earlier in the year.

Some fev fans slagging off Eden already. Looks like we did well to get rid.

Missed the read on a in goal kick and chase for one of the Eagles early try’s and gifted them the winning score by failing to catch a high ball and then knocking it straight into to the arms of Whelam to race in and win it with just a couple of minutes left.
Highlights are on the Tube with most of the other games.

A bit of an howler from Eden, not something you'd expect from a SL international winger. Even his run in the last seconds seemed half hearted. Think he might do a job in League 1.

Matt shaw reporting a possible return from oz of Riley dean , local lad been playing in the Queensland cup.

He will go to a SL probably

Both likely off to Odsal. Keyes deal all but done according to Aaron Bower. They're after Maizen as well.

I wish we had kept Maizen. Very very fast but was played out of position by Grix.

Aye, another SG brainstorm!

I would have kept him but it was Finns decision not to retain him which was largely based on stats from playing as a centre !!??

Just a quick update , a mix of rumour and rumour , Keyes n gee off to Bradford, Charlie graham signed for next season , we’ve signed ronan Dixon and Brad graham from dewsbury, dick gledhill reported another from dewsbury and one from Sheffield, if it’s Curtis Davies I won’t attend again , same if it’s Tyler Dickinson, only players remaining from them clubs I would be interested in is ollie greensmith and Bayley lu . We ve enquired about Riley dean and James meadows . Dick gledhill reported we’re making cut backs , where is lee Harvey Oswald When you need him .

Not sure on MG’s “cut backs” assessment, more like spending less and closer to previous years than this season where we spent more.

A lot of current players are either moving on or retiring and some of the early recruitment seems to be aimed at guys who have some ability at the lower end of the market but we will need a fair few incomings for next year and some of them must be a the right quality.

Not having GW’s wages will save a substantial amount and both Keyes and Gee will add to that.
