| Quote: Jukesays "Sick of hearing the Jack Murphy argument
He had a decent game, he dropped a ball, yeah it was crucial but it was also very difficult that half the FB's in the league wouldn't have got anywhere near and that's before the argument that Brett F*** Finch (It still rankles 9 years later) couldn't put a ball in touch on the last with a minute or so to go and kill the game!!!
Anyway - Back on the Murphy topic, there is also an alternative than to blame him being thrown in and that costing us the game and it ruining his career & continually using this argument over and over again, it's quite possible that he just wasn't good enough?
Anyway - Your not impressing me, Conroy isn't impressing me and I'm disappointed in the responses within our Clique!!!
Not good enough - Must Try Harder
Yeah I'm not necessarily saying he was solely to blame for the game, it's rare that one player is. I bet he would have done better, or at least bounced back, if he had more games under his belt beforehand though. When you look back at that season, we won 18 games by 20+ points and yet we pretty much never played anything except our strongest available 17. Every week that would have been the least risky option to win the game, right up until your best player gets injured and you're asking a youngster to deal with getting peppered by Kevin Sinfield in a play off. I know from near enough the horse's mouth that the club were very poor with how they dealt with Murphy after that as well, but hopefully the approach has changed.
Hopefully it won't happen, but I'd hate to be getting to a game later in the season and COVID/injuries strike and we're left wishing Smith/Kilner/Halsall had been ready to step up. There is also the question of how we expect Smith to start every week next year if we only ever give him the odd 15 minutes when the game is over as a contest. We are likely to lose some or all of French/Hastings/Leuluai, so we need to see whether he is going to be ready whilst there is still time to sign someone for next year if he isn't. The Championship is weak right now, and York aren't even one of the top 3 sides in it IMO. If we can't rotate against them and still get a win then we're in big trouble.
Don't forget the possibility that one of them actually takes their chance and improves the first team. Sam Tomkins and Liam Farrell are examples of players who we sat on for too long before giving them a crack IMO, sat behind Tim Smith, Phil Bailey and Mark Flanagan because we were fielding what we believed to be our strongest team every week.

Not sure why it hasn’t been announced other than I think we tend to announce extensions later in the season?
I hope that I’ve been well and truly conned but until the club announce his retirement or that he has been released I’m working on the assumption that he is here until 2022.
I will happily take any flak on this if I’ve been had.

I’ll not be jumping down your throat about it, we all hear things and generally speaking they’re mostly untrue.
That being said I hope this isn’t true. He’s become a parody of himself a prop of Championship at best standard. We need him off the books and his salary freeing up

| Quote: Itchy Arsenal "Apologies in advance if I’m wrong but I got told that he’s got another year.
The person who told has strong connections with the club and they could have been winding me up but they did sound convincing. I did actually ask if they were winding me up and they assured me that they were not
Clubb is I believe very respected within the club at all levels and maybe the extension is linked to coaching or the community activities.'"
this is his last, he got a 2 year deal year before last
