Boxing day will be an interesting indicator for next season. Golding needs to show his class and Sutcliffe, Singleton and Lilley all need to get back to their best form

Sham Parcell wasn't here as it would be good to see him go

What is the ETA of The Parcell?
I presume no unexpected arrivals turned up at HQ on Tuesday.

Next week

This looks like a very good signing and gives the squad more options. My main concern as last year is our lack of a proven game manager at half back. We need our forwards to put our half backs on the front foot and give them a chance to dominate a game. One last good season from McGuire could be the difference and Sutcliffe had to show he is able to take control at key times.

Interesting season ahead.

I don't think we have a controlling half back. to be fair lilley is the best by miles but not sure of his overall ability.
big year for sutciffe. not make or break but needs to step up

Sutcliffe seems to be a poor mans Leon Pryce to me, at the moment. For a half he doesn't involve himself in the game anywhere near as much as he should.

In all fairness Leon Pryce was a poor mans Leon Pryce.

I like Sutcliffe and I believe he has tremendous promise. But that's a fair comment.

At least he wasn't a poor man's Karl Pryce.

Jesus, what a thought.

I'm trying really hard to imagine that but all i can muster is thoughts of a 6" 5 inch 250lb lump of wood
