Quote: Bullseye "Sustainability is the main thing. The poop or bust approach didn't work in 2015 and was our undoing. We're still recovering from that. Signing Ford won't suddenly make us promotion contenders, we need more quality and depth across the field for that IMO. What will make that happen is a large injection of cash. Not sure where that's coming from so until then we are where we are - watching a top 4 championship team (hopefully) in a crap ground.
On the fitness front I would say that Walker, Crossley and Scurr look to be carrying too much weight. It might not matter versus Dewsbury but they'll get shown up versus the better sides. If we want to be certain of getting 3rd position I think losing a bit of flab would help those players and the team.
This is 100% bollox BTW.'"
POOP being the operative word. 2015 is a perfect example of not having a coach who refuses to play any half backs. Had we won the million pound game which we came quite close to despite staggering ineptitude, then it's impossible to say what would have happened. I'm not arguing for signing Ford but I am encouraged it's being discussed as it suggests an awareness that the 'status quo' is in many ways the least sustainable option.
