Ken Davy Reffing wouldn't have helped today!

Mmm wardle is aspiring to be where king has been- maybe not the best way of saying it I agree but actually not far wrong-
but given that would you have dropped leutele? would you have split up the Leroy / Jerry partnership that was up to that point working so well?
You are getting upset the day after our final game when we actually have no idea who we are signing. We still have the World Cup to come and there could be someone that catches the eye there too! We have potentially 9 players leaving and only 2 announced. Why don’t you save the angst until you know more rather than berating the club over speculation. If we are still in this situation come the start of the season then I may join you in the worry. But I think I’ll wait until I know a bit more.
RT might let something slip at the meeting on Wednesday- perhaps you should come along and express your views.

I live up near Newcastle these days so that isn't an option! Still watch every game on giants TV and went to magic this year! You are probably right that it's an overreaction, but us Hudds fans put up with mediocrity far too easily and i think it has in the past been true of the club as a whole. Watson has made a rod for his own back by talking about being the 'new saints' and 'challenging every year for trophies' so now he is going to be held to a higher standard. He obviously has the full backing of Ken, and my worries are that with those resources available we don't have the backline to do anything like he is stating.

As for dropping leutele no i would not have dropped leutele i would have dropped Cudjoe for the CC final, yes he has been playing well , but he is the past, and has had his chances before. I said so before the game and i stand by it now. You have to look to the future, we chose him over Wardle and Wardle understandably took umbridge, He had just been selected for England and wasn't given a starting birth by his own club for the CC final, how would you feel about that?

The situation with Wardle has turned into something of a fiasco for the club.
Probably blame on both sides here, plus the customary agent, and the whole thing seems to be in limbo.
I'd like to think that we are just holding out for a decent fee and then we all move on.
In different circumstances this would be the time to confirm new signings and build hope and expectation for next year, but understandably that will be delayed now.
As for Mr Watson?
Hopefully one of the steps of his beloved 'process' is to analyse his own performance and reduce both dogma and hyperbole in future. Create a space for Leroy in the backroom staff and look forward to another exciting season for us all.

Conpletely agree. Massive step in the right direction this year. We paid the price of the CC run with our end of season form. I thought we look knackered for the last 2 months. We're not at the level yet to be competing for both, not many SL teams are, possibly only Wigan and Saints.

A great learning year for our young players we really have a great set of young forwards.

We'll really miss Ricky next year. Although if he was marquee money I'd rather that go on a half back.

Interested to see what happens on the recruitment front over the coming months. I'd imagine most of our players will be getting a rest over the international period.

Next year will be tough, Warrington, Leeds, Hull, KR and Leigh (in Toulouse place) will all be better than this year. Let's hope we have another good run and get a trip out to another final
