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



Quote: lefty goldblatt "More twists and turns than a twistyturny thing, if we re-evaluate this signing.

Did the board

a) give Powell one last signing, on the hope of a MASSIVE change of form

b) sign him off their own back (wouldn't be the first time) and hope any incoming coach actually likes Fitzgibbon

or

c) tap up Holbrook a month ago, and ask him for his wish list.

It's a high risk way of doing things'"


Powell had full control of recruitment, so whoever does take over will basically be coaching his squad next year.

So, if we were to be successful next year, then Daryl could legitimately claim to be a very good director of RL and could come back and take that role and leave Karl to look after the club's Facebook account?

Quote: ratticusfinch "Genuine question (my memory is shocking) but who has toddled off due to homesickness recently? Tom liked it here but his wife didn’t - fair enough, McGuire has gone for other reasons, Dufty apparently not keen but he’s still here, Roberts we were all glad got homesick. Vaughan is embracing the lifestyle by all accounts. Just not sure the problem is as big as we’re making out….though I’ve probably made a glaring omission.'"


Tyrone Roberts went home early, I wonder if he ever cashed in the generous offers a few posters on here had made to drive him to the airport and pay for his flight back icon_ask.gif

Holbrook will have the same challenge as Tony Smith after PC/JL left - turning a team that looked good on paper but was completely shot confidence-wise.

You seriously think we look good on paper?

Personally, I think we have Williams and Vaughan who stand out, the rest are mainly average Joe's or younger players who might be good if things go ok in their development.

We don't stand out from any other side in the competition to be fair, apart from the bottom 2.

Ironically, this was the very thing that happened at Leeds back in the day. Powell came in and shook things up, and the next coach polished the edges into something very good. Stranger things have happened icon_biggrin.gif

Guess he would be more comfortable with Burgess than Powell.

all players currently in the NRL, will have a high level of respect for Burgess.

That doesn't make him a good coach.. But it gives him an edge.

By which time we could be relegated*

*I’m quite enjoying being negative, if I’m right I can say “told you so” and if I’m wrong the team are doing well and I’m happy.
The real problem is though that Burgess has no pedigree in coaching so currently he is Schrodinger’s coach.

I think we will be good. It's only this season we need to.survive for relegation.
Next year will be a nothing year in terms of relegation as we move to the new licence system for 2025 don't we?

Unless your suggesting we don't have enough credits in the bank to be safe each year like saints. Wigan. Hull fc and Leeds. I think we are free from relegation for the forceable future unless something monumentally goes wrong in the grading system for us.

To be honest I’ve lost touch with where we are up to with franchising!
