Quote: JENKY "I think losing our half back today was a probably a factor but the players look like they haven't have a Pre season with some only just showing signs of getting up to speed.
The coaching appointment will be critical.'"


Are the current players good enough whoever becomes the new coach?

I still can't understand how anyone thought releasing so many players from last years squad was a good idea. I do understand some wanted to go and some weren't happy with a reduction in pay, etc. But the sheer naivety of thinking that 19 new players could replicate the 2016 effort.

Atomic at 6 and Montyburns at 7 next week please.

I totally agree releasing so many was crazy, I also think we lack players who know just what the Championship is all about and what you need to do to get out of it however I do believe the current batch will get better as the season goes on.
Some signs today that can be used by the new coaching team as positives to build on for next week (another tough fixture though!)

Been along time since I played half back but I reckon I’m in better shape that drew don’t think me and atomic would make a good pairing would get sick of getting warned icon_wink.gif

Ronnie and Reggie - We don't like Norfern "Numpty" Geezers with flat caps and we HATE whippets.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_43872.jpg



As a long time leyther when the team is playing with no heart it usually means trouble behind the scenes and players wondering if they are going to get paid. Now rumours db is quitting. Wish we had a team of leythers and adopted leythers again. Not bothered what division. Absolutely sick of DBs ego.

The only heart missing is a half back who can take the team round the park. That's why sheep have shepards,but failing that you can always use the dog.

100%!

A few fans last year were saying that Ridyard isn't a SL player and he's too slow and can't tackle. When you have a rugby/football brain like he does, you don't have to be the fastest nor tackle the best. He showed in the 2016 8's -- and with his spell at Huddersfield -- that he can play SL rugby. We also have the Drinkwater bashers, and by the end of the year he was definitely spent. But contrast the 2016 8's where he partnered with Ridyard superbly and 2017 whereby he had a different HB partner (and backline) each week it seemed. Drinkwater was asked to do too much I felt last year.

Also, look at Finn at Wakefield, orchestrating things, ex Championship player. Wasn't good enough for Daryl Powell. Well Wakefield are 2nd in the SL tonight.

Time for DB to step up now, forget Mr. Nice Guy and all this loyalty b*llox - go and raid a good 6 and possibly 7 from somewhere and take the club to the next level. WEIT - Whatever It Takes!
