It was a bit tongue in cheek. For a while you were collecting ex Hull and KR players, none of which were fantastic, including your current coach. You did OK last season because Smith has set you up. I expect Chester to erode that next year.

Walker is decent and would have preferred him to stay, but he ain't no Gareth Ellis.

Smith set us up did he

The thing is I know exactly what was done in pre season and under the Smith regime which you will probably never know. Regarding CC the scoring flair got us into the top 8 which most people did not see coming and the defence issues came when the job was done and certain players switched off, again something I know is fact.

Heard anything on recruitment BLM?? I understand it's hard to confirm stuff in your position

Only what's already announced Mabel, I know it's a while back but had a good natter with your Andy at the Newcastle weekend, top bloke.

Have to laugh, you're telling us that Chester will be found wanting yet you swapped him for Webster. Webster got you relegated as he nearly did with us whilst Chester got us a top 8.

Now I'm not a CC groupie, he's young with a lot to learn and even more to prove - however I think it's fair to say that with an 8th finish and a CCup semi final and what he achieved with you lot he's still on an upwards curve all be it very modest.

Why HKR fans need to bad mouth him I'm not sure - he did OK with HKR and you simply got rid to soon replacing him with a very poor Coach for that level. I'm certain had you kept CC you'd probably still be SL, but don't let reason get in the way of a good scapegoating.

Finally defence is the easiest thing to Coach, organise your players and give them a clear role - something I think all Caoches do. However the British game is full of players who won't always put it on the line - when the players are like that there is nothing a Coach can do - HKR's crash in last years CCup was IMO totally down to the players who either froze or bottled it, no Coach could have stopped that not even Brian Smith and his systems.

In wetherspoons. I remember him saying who you were as you left it I'd have come and introduced myself. He's ok for a younger brother I guess

Always said he was a good kid. Had a lot of time for him

Let's hope so and gets a few more games in the Red White & Blue.

We wont be signing Tony Williams.

He has signed for Cronulla.

good riddance david.

I would give up with the speculation because most of the names being muted either stay at their current clubs or have gone elsewhere. I suppose it reduces the field and eventually we will reach the position that those left will fit into our expenditure if they want to play full time. A good strategy providing the quality of those left will improve the team.
