Matt Sturm gets brought up a lot but he hardly (if at all?) played a game in the first team so he can't be blamed for our struggles in 2002. I doubt he was on big bucks as he'd been signed from playing semi pro at Workington.

Spot on this, it's almost a Shakespearean tragedy that the guys he brought over to instill his new ethics are the ones seemingly letting him down.

I don't know what's happened to Matautia, he's become a greedy selfish player. It's not as if he's Atkins who scored a boat load either.

Just the length of contract, 3 years for a bit part player, made no sense.

The Sturminator. What a great squad we had back then

Tom O`Reilly was playing for Woolston Rovers when we gave him a Super League contract for that season.

Shocking stats if true. Embarrassing even.
Hard to rule out he came to Lancashire for the holiday and didn’t plan on so few sheep here? His fitness doesn’t seem half it was while at Cas.

I was more hopeful over the signing of Holmes than Matautia turns out I got that the wrong way round, but i certainly didn’t anticipate the extent of the drop off in form from both. Minikin I just didn’t get but can hardly blame him for what has happened this season.
