| Quote pie man="pie man"IL Said some of trents wages had gone on improved contracs and better wages for the young players plus riddel and roberts must be on as much as higham and calderwood.'"
I am not sure why this is news to anyone.
Months ago I was posting exactly the sort of thing you say above. Over the past 12 months or so the club has made announcements about signing younger players on two year deals and so on which isn't going to happen on peanut wages they may have been on as U18 or U21 players.
I have also kept saying if people think losing Trent Barrett, Calders and Higham was going to free up a load of dosh they were living in cloud cuckoo land. I just could not see why and it looks like I was right

| Quote DaveO="DaveO"Never a truer word written on this forum. I have been saying the same thing for a while now consistently. Don't often get challenged on it either as most people with eyes and a brain know its true.
I see everyone else with a different opinion to yourself is Stupid again Dave? Why don't we all sit back and let you run the club!'"
Personally I recommend ChrisA for that job.
Quote DaveOPS 5 or 6 years of terrible rugby, does that mean all coaches going back to Raper inc Gregory etc were useless?
It's not just Noble then?
If not then obviously there have been truer words spoken on this forum as that statement would be incorrect!
Since you can't change history you won't have to i.e. if we do improve it won't change the fact we have played some dire RL for a while now.
In your Opinion'"
Not just mine obviously.
Quote DaveOHowever there will be no one more delighted than me to see this all change for the better. Will 2009 be the season?
You will be delighted, can't see that Dave, Who would you have a go at then?

Lunatics who think Millard was a good player for Wigan is one idea that crossed my mind.

Does it not Hurt being right all the time!

But surely being Omnipotent means that you don't need to be a pessimist as you already know everything anyway???
PS
Have you been editing My comments using your Mod Profile? That second post regarding Nominating ChrisA for the job was not made by me, I think you may have been "Putting words in my mouth" so to speak!
And Although I know deep down you would love to be able to speak to others on here with the Knowledge that I have you can't just pinch my Avatar and put your own words in to make people think you know more than you actually do!
It's nice to know that you want to be like me! |

| Quote Charlie Seeling="Charlie Seeling"Lyon is PT Skills development Coach and presently weorking extensively with the Accelerate Squad.
Your mate Neil has done well to get in that group Alex. In a sense the club see him as 6th prop which is very good.
Chissy must be a bit gutted though not to make that group.'"
Can you remember the players who were in the accelerate squad? Or anyone else for that matter. |

They must be listed somewhere. It was all the ones you'd expect, about 9 in total, I think. |
