I agree with all you say apart from above and ...



If he wants to be a centre put him in the reserves to work on his passing / vision else give him a go in the front row, he has the size and a good work rate.

Clubb will never be a to class centre.

We played some good stuff at Brentford- Marty, Tommy, Dorn etc

Yeah we played some good stuff that last Broncos season we got to the play offs. Lee Hopkins was also important as well as the 'golden triangle', don't feel the club has found a decent replacement for him ie a strong running second rower.

Nor Marty sadly, what a player.

According to Rammo on BBC London Mac is as safe as houses and there is no chance of him being replaced......
And, regardless of all the yes/no votes in Listys little campaign, I suspect the yes vote from the club.......is the one that counts.

So, is it more of the same in 2010?

Paul Cullen backed him unquestionable on Boots N All last night. Apparently our terrible form and abysmal home record is down to missing Chad Randall for a couple of games. Dismal excuse 1/10

Sounds like it from hearing the podcast, from Brian:
- Nothing dramatic will happen in the close season, there will be no clean out of players
- We have a group of people to build on
- We have an “inner steel” mentality which Brian is proud of

Field lof dreams attitude of the marketing group seems to be seaping into the coaching staff (IMO that is)

I have to question when we will start seeing evidence of this inner steel.

would prefer to see outer steel.

Would prefer a player like Steele

It's clear we don't have a big squad, and it's not choc full of fabulous players, so when our key players are injured we struggle.
Chad is key to our success, when he was injured Ben Kaye was unable to replace him.
Add to that Danny Orr being injured, and Luke Gale failing to pick up the reins, our key playmakers and organisers being missing means we fail to perform.
Plus, we lose the top try scorer, and our best prop.
Chad and Danny come back, almost certainly before they are ready - and Danny was a sub at Hull, and we were notiiceable bettern when he came on.
Hopefully both Chad and Danny are fit enough to lead the team to victories in the last two games - I guess we'll see how committed the team are next week, I expect them to be ready and to perform better. And of course I'm one of the faithful and wear rose glassed all the time.

There are curious decisions (no Clubby instead of Matt Gafa) which possibly don't help our cause, but it's difficult to conjure wins on the back of a strong work ethic when the workers aren't fit.

It's difficult to see a clear out, as contracts are contracts, even if I wanted to see one and I don't - but we will lose some players both because they aren't want by BM and due to quota constraints.

good post, too much doom and gloom on this thread, for half the season we were a good once injuries hit we fell away, unless we find someone with very deep pockets i cant see it changing. Sad but true...................

D'ya reckon.
