First our joint coaches have suddenly departed https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/ ... iffe-step/ and now our Marquee player Amy Hardcastle has gone to Saints. https://www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/ ... st-helens/ I wonder if the women's side is a victim of "cutting our cloth"?

Reserves season gets going tonight. The club website only lists 12 players in the Reserves squad, all young. Nine have been promoted from the Academy and three have joined us from elsewhere. Some very tough challenges await but if one or two of them can develop into first teamers then it will be well worth it.

Looks like the Bulls have been more widespread in their youth recruitment recently at u15s and 16s Scholarship and the Academy. Looking at recent player announcements. Do we have new connections in the Northwest? That maybe helped with the Eliot Peposhi, and Daniel Moss trials. At academy level Lewis Owens from West Bank Bears over in Widnes and Tom Glover from Thatto Heath in St Helens u15s Scholarship. A few others from Northwest clubs for the u16s, hearing from parents who have sons on at scholarship level. Can only benefit us long term, be good to get a bit of an insight on the youth side of things.

O'Carroll is a Wiganer so that may have something to do with it. Makes me wonder when was the last time we had a coach from that side of the Pennines. Can't think of anyone from the red rose county coaching us.

Yeah good point about O'Carroll, no former coach instantly springs to mind now you mention that. So yeah could be down to EO.
