I don't think Hargreaves would offer us anything we don't already have and I must admit that whilst hearing plenty about LMS I have only seem him play a handful of times so couldn't say either way.

| Quote: Fallon "Ive been away from this forum for a few years and now Im remembering why.
The actual point of the thread was to say that the squad is showing some signs of age, whcih was only highlighted by our season which includes the CC final.
Therefore, what are peoples views, now the dust has settled a bit, on how we progress further? Every squad needs freshening up, ideally yearly - Im talking one or two new players where they add value, not wholesale changes.
If we dont add a little this season then I can see us having to bed in four or five players the season after which is always difficult.'"
I think most would agree with this and i think/hope Brian Mcdermott will also add a freshness and bring more steel to our Defence and pack but we do need 1 or 2 additions imo. |

Spot on, but there are some reasons to be a bit optimistic next season:
1. Lowest expectations for 7/8 years. Apparently Wigan Stains and Wire are nailed on to fill the 1st 3 places with us fighting for 4th. Less to lose, more to gain?
2. Brian McD trying hard to show he's worthy of being 1st team coach for 2012.
3. Much less complacency in the side - the players should be keen to show that this year's form was a one-off. For match day motivation, just put a picture of the Wembley score line on the dressing room wall.
4. Having BJB and Watkins back will be like 2 new additions.
5. JP will benefit for having a long time off - 1st clear off season for years.
6. Clarkson, Pitts, McShane and Ambler bigger, stronger, more experienced and will contribute more.
7. No distraction of having to get ready for the WCC as soon as the season starts. A gradual increase in intensity as the season develops should benefit the whole team.
Any others? |

Hopefully less injuries and a chance to rotate the older players more.

So why bother replying then ? I have learnt this site is just somewhere to have a little light hearted fun. You really should try to do the same and not take life so seriously. No one really cares what others might have to regale us with...or at least they shouldn't as for resorting to apparent real attempts to insult...that is pretty sad. |

Oops ! Lost my way with punctuation towards the end there....almost as bad as the imperious DHM's misuse of ' your ' instead of you're. |
