| Does anyone have a link to some 5 year old highlight reels on YouTube. I want to build myself up for some disappointment in the usual Wire fan way  |

Was keeping ratchford on for another 2 years a blow to our youth? If it's dufty or ratchford at 6 then I'll take dufty all day long. Hopefully ratchford is not going to be in the 17, but will just be cover if dufty or thewlis get injured. |

And so you aim towards the sky,
And you'll rise high today,
Fly away, Far away,
Far from pain....:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_53838.jpg |

If you're talking about Riley Dean here, have you seriously seen anything from him that makes you want him to be a regular starter in the side this or next season?
He definitely has potential, but he's a mile away from being a starter in a trophy challenging SL side - look at him in the Catalan game - was basically a passenger, while Williams did all the half back stuff.
For me, he needs a loan at a top2 Championship side, or a bottom 4 SL side (& yes, I know we are one right now, but I'd be hoping we aren't aspiring to be one long term  ). |

I'm hoping that the plan is to get the seasoned players in with the right attitude, who then act as role models to our youth development.
As has been said, I don't think our club problems are a quick fix, and I'd be disappointed if we were still bringing in overseas players in 2-3 years time in lieu of developing our own talent.

Completely agree with this, he hasn't done much other than being a link player for plays, yet he's hailed as the messiah. He's a good player and i'm glad we've got him, but he's a long way off yet, and learning off Dufty as well for a year or 2 can only be good for him long term.

I used to write stuff like "In Smith we trust..." with confidence.
Not sure what to write now..."In _______ we trust..."

100%. I was all for Riley Dean to get thrown in, I was initially disappointed with Powell throwing the lad under the bus last month, however he got another chance to shine, and he scuffed.
I hold my hands up to Powelly, he was right. He might get another chance v KR, but I can’t see it. Thewlis, who also pants may be preferred as spine cover because he is proven as quality most of the time.

He won't get another chance against Hull kr, he's out due to concussion protocols. |

His best position is fullback though! |

Neither glass half full or empty. Just a realist.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_49863.jpg |

No, I wasn't talking about Dean, just our scattergun approach to recruitment, rather than following in Saints' and Wigan's approach to their youth squads. They take (calculated) risks with their youngsters, rather than "throw them under buses" after mistakes. We're proof that chequebook rugby doesn't work (atm)

If you ask me, getting Dufty over early isn’t about making the top 6 (but we live in hope), but moreover the club accepting the season has been a disaster and setting an early statement of intent to keep season ticket holders on board and winning back a few more.
If we finish stronger, the future is brighter.
Cooper and Powell just seemingly never got on. Much of that would be part of this rotten season. Coops isn’t a bad guy, spoke to him a few times but the feud must have been toxic within the group. I expect some stability now he’s gone. Sad end really.
