Quote: Hangerman2 "God no please not Sam Powell. Unfortunately that is exactly the kind of signing Watson loves, yet another grafting plodder. Murchie looks good, shame it probably means we lose McQueen
"In 50 years of watching Fartown after 20 years of watching Wakey i have never seen a player in our colours back up as well as he did, he was always on the shoulder of anyone who made any kind of break" - C'mon what about Greg Austin? I wouldn't want brierly back, i agree wholeheartedly we need a player to back up and finish chances, but he is too lightweight for the modern game.'"
Cant agree with you there Hangeman, I do remember Austin of course I well remember that day he scored all those tries ( think it was against Blackpool IIRR in a cup game perhaps, ( not sure but i think it's still the record score in League not certain )
I think Brierley is doing a good job where he is, and yes he is tall and slim but i doubt he's as lightwieght as all that. anyway we all have our opinions and that's as it should be.
We shall have to judge our new men when we see them play, I worry about what sort of football we are going to be playing next year, what worked for us last year certainly hasn't this time. We have had a few good performances to be fair but we've had more bad ones . I firmly believe that the only way to bring people in is to play open attractive football , it's arguably more important than winning, When Nathan Brown was here we were creeping up and over 8.000 and yet under P Anderson with his dull Bradford big pack style we won the hub cap and lost numbers on the terrace. anyway as ever it's just my opinions , we shall see in the fullness of time.
