NEXT SEASON


All I want to see is an improvement on this our first year back in Super League.

On the playing side of it I would like to see a top class full-back brought in and hopefully a new centre, plus some much bigger and agressive forwards in the starting line-up.

Will next season be better than this --- Well only time will tell...

Over to you Head-Coach Shaun McRae.

WELL SAID 'Red Preacher'

Imo we need to improve in so many areas, also with Myler n paul gone, and matty smith and maybe tommy lee coming in, thats hardly an improvement is it? I'll say it again tho we need to get rid of jeremy smith, I just cant see a single half back quality that he has

Look Jeremy Smith is under contract for another season.

I myself have been very criticle of him this season but to be honest I feel he has improved, so hopefully we will see the best of him in 2010 with a bit of luck.

Plus who knows Jeremy Smith may find himself playing new role in 2010 at the Willows

So lee is a reverse player

Who says we've actually signed him...?

He plays backwards?

How does he catch the ball? With his buttocks?

Hopefully not. Scoring tries with downward pressure into the colon is something we could do without...

Jeremy Smith receives a really bad press but he is a good footballer.
Like the rest of them he has faults but,certainly at Bradford today, he looked Ok,whereas Stefan was disappointing.
Different stages of their careers but give Smith a break !!

Were u watching the same game as me? Ratchford was by far the best player in a red shirt yesterday IMO

is there no good young players we could look at signing from the championship or anything? instead of looking overseas?

Yes there are, there are lots of players in the Championship who could and probably would make it in SL...we, however, dont have a coach who appears willing to take a chance on any of them any time soon so don't be holding yr breath!!

Id hope for a improvement in the players ability to deal with pressure, the way we play when a chance comes we need to take it or to stay in the arm wrestle for as long as we can so the opposition break 1st.
Too many times this season a bad decition by individuals in attack and defence or bottling the chance when it was on has been our downfall

Hopefully we'll get rid of a few and bring a few better focused proffesionals who when the pressure is on can do the job.

We are treading a thin line between victory and defeat now, but hopefully with an off season the younger players will continue to improve the senior pro's we have still on contract added together with new signins will give us a better chance of competing in them games and coming away with the spoils more.

I cant see where we will improve if we are only signing english players and letting are up and coming youngsters are being sold. i read a few weeks ago about brad drew what we going back to dads army for karl harrison sorted this club out from dead wood but now seem to bwe going back to are old ways. cant see use improving

I dont mind signing older players as long as they have [sizeClass[/size, the problem with us we always seem to sign them just after they have gone over the hill (most of the time in the old days they were over the hill, out the field, on the road, in their house, in their chair watching televison drinking tea)

The exception to the rule were Clinch and Dunnerman who were class AND made a huge difference and could deal with the pressure that broughtwe had them at the right time and we never reaily replaced them.
