I'm not absolutely sure, but I don't think NGB4C is an Owen fan.

Well we know who his scapegoat is next year, early

Hope he proves me wrong!! I thought I was pretty nice last year for my standards

. You know me I will not slate a tryer. I am fair but frank! I congradulate reece Lynn on excellent improvement last year. My bug bearer is a average player not trying so watch out owen if you don't perform you will get some chiny pie

Wow, I bet Owen's absolutely crapping himself at the thought of it

Anybody can criticise from the keyboard how about an invite into the dressing room for people to praise or criticise the team

... and reveal themselves to the players? Not a prayer

Goodness me - does that conform to a threat of harm above???

I don't think we've seen the best of Owen yet. He scored tries for fun at Cas before his injury, but hasn't quite hit that mark yet. That may be down to the players he is playing along side; it may be down to style of play - Wakey wingers seem to do more yardage from the back than most sides - or it could be this....

I reckon (just an opinion), that Richie was a little bit daunted by the move across to Wakey. He signed for Cas young and has been there his whole career and probably wasn't expecting a move at this time! I think it's taken him a little while to adjust to a new team, new structures, new routine etc etc, as he doesn't seem the most confident person in the world! That the club have seen enough in him to grant him a 3 year contract is good for me. Since JE stopped doing the recruitment we have tended to be quite cute with our signings and we extract good value from what we do spend!

If my theory is correct, then, after a full close season and having had time to become more familiar with his surroundings and adjusting to his new role, we should have another player who will do a great job for us!

Good luck Richie - you can win this lot over!

Don't lump us all together and put yourself on the side of good TRB.
All but one have said no matter what they will support him as he is wearing RW&B.

Not choosing him, and not supporting him are two different things

Am I being too touchy?

No

You love those Islanders don't you? I assume as you have not quoted a name that you don't actually know of someone that a) is better than Owen, b) would come to Wakey and c) would be a cheaper option.

I don't mind people having an opinion but I just don't understand the need to constantly pick a scapegoat to have someone to moan about. Give him a pre-season and judge him on how he plays.

Have you learnt nothing from going to the zoo Fordy?
It clearly states 'Do not feed the chimps'.
