We're going to struggle to hang on to some players in the next 2 to 3 years though. Looks like bowden will be next out of the door

Exactly this. Consistency brings success in just about any sport, and we haven't had any at FC for a dog's age.

Agreed. Mentality is key and I think that it's as much between the ears where we're below average and for some reason have been for years.

hope i`m around to see it.

For me we have a really strong forward pack who should dominate most other teams week in week out especially when green returns as I would have him starting with pea then use Carvell and feka,Bowden or watts off the bench our back row is again really strong with Ellis Tuson Thomson Hadley and whiting with the obvious of Ellis and Tuson starting I'd have Ellis and Thomson and let Tuson earn his place with whiting sub you need aza on the bench to come on and replace danny and to speed the game up for us we missed that on Thursday night. I'd still give miller and Rankin afew more weeks cause at times they have both looked really dangerous
when our forwards are on top. Our back line at the moment is poor with the exception of shaul
and talonoa but with sa coming in and lineham not a million miles away from been back we could have a very good back line in the making with lineham crooks sa talonoa and shaul but that would mean leaving Radford's best mate Yeaman out and yes he has served us well over the years and is a good defender but he offers very little go forward.
