I heard last night Philip has been offered a new one-year deal by the Reds ?

I suppose the club will make an announcement one way or the other soon on this matter.

Who exactly do we bring in to replace him with, that will be of a better quality, and on our pathetic crowds??? People need to get a grip, we have players like Phil who do well for the level of club we are, other examples are Swain, Cashmere, Sibbit etc who wouldn't get into most other teams but do a sound job for us. WE CAN NOT PUSH ON WITHOUT MONEY OR THE NEW GROUND, until they come to the club we will be where we are now or worse... we need to blend players like those just mentioned with the good young players coming through and give it time

I would offer Phil a 1 year deal (subject to him wanting it and not being put off by wannabe top level RL coaches on here with short memories and delusions of grandeur) and bring in a new prop for Stapleton who said he is leaving (great try from him last night by the way)

Smith had a good game last night as well, need him to play like that more often, and no Myler and the team start to play better with Ratchford at 6, there is a sign there Mr McRae, we need to keep it like that for now

ANY NEWS YET

Big Phil said at last weeks forever red meeting it was all news to him about going to leigh, was more than happy to stay his family are settled the boys are in school,i'm sure when BBM back she will do the write up from that meeting.
