Probably the biggest consolation yesterday was seeing just how hard they tried. Performance wise we can do better and some of the options we took close to the Wakey line were poor. With Gaskell not firing on full cylinders we needed Siejka to stand up again but he was poor in attack yesterday. He doesn't seem to have the vision to play what's in front of him rather than what he's decided to do before receiving the ball. Surely the club will recruit a new scrum half for 2016?

Guess it will come down to money as Siejka is already on board for next season and it's hard to see where he would go to or to see us paying him up.

There's a few on board this season, but it didn't stop us ignoring them. I think we would be entitled to insist they take Siejka back under the Trades Descriptions Act. It would have been cheaper to have bought a Pot Noodle instead. It wouldn't be any less predictable, and if we got a curry one, it would have a better kick.

This next few weeks are going to be very interesting. At least 10 players who have not had a look in should be looking to leave.
Will Gaskel stick to his word and see out his second year.
Will O'Brien and Addey stay and give it another go - although both may struggle to start in a top team.
Will green stick with Jimmy. I am guessing Green can be a very tough businessman and able to make the big decisions that affect his business. It all comes down to money.

The overriding factor though could be their predictions on ST sales. If they sit down and decide that fans will not buy ST and pick and choose games next season that will hurt the club badly. They will then either have to bring in new players, a new coach or even both to persuade fans to keep paying top prices for STs.
Green has bigger decisions right now than he did when he bought the club as just saving us made everyone happy.
Interesting couple of months ahead

The problem with the sale of season tickets following this year is: Why bother with a season ticket when the only competition of interest is the last 7 matches.
(But there again I'm a glass half empty guy)

Think you may be confusing him with me -I've said it several times

We didn't break any rules with the signings and 10 of the starting 13 were with us at the start of the season!

I think we all bought a season ticket knowing that to be the case surely? Despite the way Leigh carried on after their opening day victory it in reality counted for little. Every minute matters... well except in the Championship where the competition isn't really there other than maybe 4/5 teams.

Nobody suggested any rules were broken did they?

I there was perhaps a bit of a novelty factor this year though. Perhaps quite a few (not all) saw this as a bit of a 1 year adventure. I'd like to think we'll get good support again, but it's going to take a lot to match this years season ticket sales again I'd have thought.

I have enjoyed this season and I do believe we have good people running the club.

But you failed to mention anything about the rugby we played. By and large we won games without really trying, and to such an extent that when the opposition did put up a fight we were found lacking. We had a stream of quotes from players saying performances were unacceptable and that we just had a bad day at the office. This was starting to happen so much that it should no longer have been called a bad day at the office but simply a day at the office. So, in answer to your question, I am not looking forward to more of the same.
(I do realise that if you don't agree to virtually sign over your entire salary to the Bulls, go home and away and watch them, and then also go to every training session you are not considered a true supporter by some on this forum but that's how I feel)

Ooops! '
fraid I got my 'rithmatics drastically wrong : Thing is I can offer no excuses only my humblest apologies for any needless anxiety that this post may have caused some readers. As my school report used to say - "must try harder." I am unrepentant though that the system in place favours S/L clubs and promotion would appear to be a dream. I am not blaming Wakey or any other S/L club for the present situation, it's the system that is in place that is at fault.
