Oldest coach in the league may as well have the oldest team. I know we need some experience but we don't need a team full of 30+ players

Cooke is attack coach at York..
Surely Myler knows if he's a good coach.

Yeah, maybe with Stewart it was just a case of him being available and obviously pretty cheap that they felt it was maybe the best move at the time. Now they’ve had to go back to the drawing board we might have to wait until next season and hopefully by that time the financial situation is sorted and more players might be available rather than mid season.

Hopefully we might be in a situation to bring in a better class of player. Not exclusively Sailor but someone who’s shown promise at NRL level.

If they do come out shortly and announce an extension for Balmforth then for me although its welcome it shows just how naive the club have been.
All most of us asked for was for Balmforth to be given a run to see what he can do yet all we heard was he had to work on aspects of his game.Really?
Dont all young players have to work on aspects of their game?
Then we had the version from some on here that it was bad attitude,not fit enough,cant tackle.
You play to players strengths and Balmforth has shown he is what we need from dummy half positions with his pace and decent distribution.
With Riding been squeezed out recently who was the guy who brough him here you have to wonder if words have been said

So basically the club are criticised if they don't give Balmforth a new contract but also if they do. Thanks for clearing that up.

No but you have to admit that it looks like the club have maybe put themselves in a situation that there could be a scramble for his signature now that he looks the part in SL. You’d think that had he been given a bit more game time before May (there was ample opportunity) it would have been a lot easier to tie him down to a new deal. If we lose him now and he goes on to be a top player the club look silly again.

This isn’t a dig at Morgan Smith as he’s played his part in difficult circumstances and always given a go, but it’s hard to see how he’s so much better in fitness or defence then Balmford, the areas we have been told Balmford ‘needs to work on’ so often. It looks like it could have been handled better TBH.
