Quote: LeythIg "This. If DB is 'going for it' next year, that should mean contract offers for McNally, I Thornley, Forsyth, Cator, Douglas, T Adamson and Hood at the very least.
Sadly, I can't see that happening. We're heading back to old style ways, but with one year contracts in the name of sustainability. Sau and Higson have come in, and performances have dropped from when Forsyth and Cox were playing on that side. Clark and Thompson have come in, but are they playing any better than Brooks and Spencer have done this year?'"
I agree with you.
I would add, however, that bodies had to be brought in, to replace the DR players who have all been major contributors to our success to date. No way are Saints going to weaken their squad for the play-offs. Hopefully John has been able to absorb these guys into the squad, without disrupting team spirit - but I do wonder.
