| To answer the question. We dismantled a team capable of being top 4 championship when we did not need to, if we followed HKR, kept the nucleus of the squad offload a few older players and ones wanting too much cash and reserve some funds for the mid 8s to bring in a bit more quality for the final push as we did previously we would be in that top 4 now. Players like Riddy, AJ, McNally, Hopkins etc know how to negotiate this division.
We however chose to rip up the formula that had been successful in this division and just one game away from success in SL and follow KCs mantra of it is about recruitment and recruit players with good RL CVs... then players generally have not experience in the physical and differently refereed comp that is the championship. They also are not coming into a team with a set pattern of play as the players who set that pattern are mainly gone.
There is quality in the squad but it needs strong coaching to pull things together... the formula isn’t right yet and who knows how long it will take to get right, half back partnership needs sorting and wide defence, not easy fixes. Meanwhile champ clubs who we have spent the last 3 years hammering are now relishing an opportunity to get their own back.
All will take time to fix and if we don’t get top 4 were does that leave us going forward? Some tough months ahead, let’s stick together and support the boys and hope improvement comes sooner rather than too late. How about Hall to halfback with Lilley until Mortimer and Reynolds return?

We were due one
And in the years preceding those 11 - when you won the league, was it four times? How many times did you hammer us, in those four years? We seemed to be forever travelling over to POR, and getting tonked!
Some folk are just plain greedy. Take the Fax fan I was talking to at the end of Sunday's game. I had complimented stand off Scott Murrell's master class, in how to totally run a game and not even be touched by an opposing player (just like Riddy, the week before) and he replied that was all well and good, but they needed a scrum half!! At the moment, I'd happily settle for ONE dominant half back, and they want TWO!!
