It's Big Dave's way to run a club.

Unless we pick up a few loanees we'll probably have to blood a few of our young 'uns. They've certainly got the skill.
With the number of players gone I'm not optimistic about promotion next year so let them have a learning opportunity which could stand them in good stead for a push for SL in two years time.

Im hoping we might pick up 1 or 2 queensland/nsw cup rough diamonds to polish

I do hope you are right.

We need something, a couple more experienced heads would help.

As things stand......

So 25 signed up, question marks over 2 (Richards and Cunningham) and unknown re the OOC boys. I am sure I saw M Davies was training with the boys??

Cunningham is also out of contract.

With all due respect, that is not a squad that will strike fear in the hearts of our competitors for promotion. But you never know I suppose.

I'm assuming Gideon Boafo is staying on because the club tweeted a piece about his rehab from injury a couple of weeks back.

Cunningham and Boafo are in the current squad list on the website for 2020, but Fleming and Davies are not.

Fev seem to be spending big on the back of last season so they will go in with promotion on the back of there minds
Leigh looked settled

I think we are missing a few older heads in the team. Maybe they are waiting for Wardy to come back

I was watching GB at the weekend and with 20 to go we were throwing the ball about chasing the game i was thinking Wardy must have coached this portion of the game!

So Cunningham and Boafo make it 26. Cant see too many more coming in tbh.

Was thinking we could really do with an experienced forward as no doubt we’ll have to blood a few young ‘uns - someone to do the sort of job that Thackeray did for us a few seasons back. Don’t know if there’s anyone available like that.

Fleming has gone to Dewsbury. I cannot say that he set the world on fire whilst he was with London. Still wish him all the best.

Linked with Mitch Allgood. Will take that!!
