| [quote="Tarquin Fuego":1mkpelx6]Grix was absolute garbage
He allowed the poorest discipline ever seen and never corrected it
End of story ! Garbage and garbage is what we watched under him
Balmforth epitomised the same garbage
Totally unfit and never once changed that and his coach didn’t make him get fit bit just critiscised him
Both needed to leave at the end of the season[/quote:1mkpelx6]
I do find these posts quite rude. Grix got a bum deal said nothing horrendous about Balmforth and is well thought of in rl community. It’s always easy to ascribe blame in the disaster of last season. There were so many factors some we don’t know of that contributed to not our worst season ever - we’ve been a division below- not least an assistant coach dropped right in it. Cartwright, who is the messiah until our first game,has seen nothing bad in him. It may be that he’s a natural assistant rather than head coach. I feel posters should remember coaching staff are working long hours and losing sleep which Grix was to turn this club around. To call him garbage is disrespectful.

I found this an interesting read particularly about the ability now for other clubs to approach players contacted for this season after 1st December and the fact that some clubs will hear players are leaving and say "Just go then if you don't want to play for us" I expect that will eventually be the case for at least one young player at our club but only time will tell. There will be a lot of movement in the next couple of months across the game as things become more clear with clubs approaching players with less than a year left on their contracts and it will be interesting to see which clubs retain those players and which ones say well If you don't want to play for us then 'Bugger" off!

Out of all the young players who the December 1st tamper deadline would be applicable with there’s only really Barron not signed up yet who I’d lose sleep over, and I think the indication is that a new deal for him will happen sooner or later anyways. The others on the list have potential but agree if they don’t want to be here/commit maybe best to move them on early.

I'd be shocked if Rapana plays on the wing at the start of the season, particularly with the wingers we have

| Always thought they might fancy Rapana at centre, if they started the first game with a backline of Moy, Martin, Rapana, Hardaker and Barron that would certainly address any concerns about pace.
Depends on how much emphasis Cartwright has on making meters from kick returns and out of back field. I think it will be a big thing and possibly why Barron has the 2 shirt as he looked really strong out of dummy half. With that in mind still think he’ll want Rapana to start at 1 and Briscoe on the field maybe over Martin. Even with a decent rub of the green with injuries it’s unlikely we’ll often have the first choice 17 available so good to have options.
