Of course, the likes of Briggsy, Zac that are now in SL have nowt to do with that then eh? The fact that Tommy Saxton was so close to going to SL and the likes of Tonka etc making themselves known is nowt to do with it????

Like I said, I have kept reading how average we are. I've kind of got used to it. Since Daryl arrived, there has been a change in recruitment, a few bob made available by an ambitious and astute BoD and some decent youth coming through.
I'm not denying Daryl hasn't made a massive impact at the club, but to suggest that we 'enjoy it whilst we can' cos when Daryl goes it'll all go down the tubes is somewhat farcical. We have a decent squad who won't run away with the league this year, but will be thereabouts come the end of Aug and as you know only too well, being "thereabouts" is all you need at that stage. You can't make a silk purse out of a cows @r_se! A quality coach still needs quality players OR bottom play off is the best you can expect.

Average?? Aye, if you like.

Fev are not average, they have the best Thinking half back in the league IMO in Finn. The front rowers are tough as hell and will hammer you all day long.

Halifax were good in patches on Thursday and we still have a looooong way to go.

Calland out

We were average or not too good all last season as well and in most matches we were so lucky and had the ref on our side or the opoosition had just come back from France. Some of the opoosition had off days when we met them; Hope we have a similiar season

The fax will come strong. Great frst half e second

Big improvement needed for the sheffield game

I expect them to! This will be a very tight league. Who in all seriousness would have gambled on Fax and Widness losing their 1st 2??

Or Leigh winning their 1 st three

We'll click, im sure of this, just hopefully before my strawberrys and tomatos are edible.
Just needs to get Jones taking charge of Blacky and Penky and boss them, they have a propensity to take over and play hollywood style, always have, this is what Holly is good at, i.e. getting those two inline with the game plan.
Although.......... now this worrying, but in some senses it came off, picking 2 fullbacks, risky, someones playing out of position, unless one gets injured, and the pack only looks 60% there with its rotation, i saw too much of the same man taking 1st and 3rd tackles, followed by a bomb, or a daft missed man cut out pass, smacks of disorganisation. No momentum, until Bob's run.

Certainly are!

blimey,they must be a bit ancient now ?

Les West was ok but not in the same class as Page,Buchanan,Blackmore & Ackermann

I saw Ritchie in 1973!! One of my first gigs - and Jimmy at knebworth about 3 years later!
Think Eddie still has it for the best I've seen of that generation!
Think that's a sideways leap away from topic like, but rugby, music, food & wine and my family are just about my life in a sentence!

Rory Gallagher, now you're talking! My personal favourite. Anyway, we digress.....
