| I'm loving how the club is portraying itself atm. Looking a much more professional outfit after the absolute shambles of recent years. Training looks soooo much better, players looking fitter and it's only the start of pre-season, communication from the club on how pre-season is going is much improved too, makes you feel more connected. Rome wasn't built in a day n all that but I'm genuinely feeling much more optimistic that the team will be able to compete next season. It's almost like we haven't just got a new team but a new club

Top 6 here we come, you’re going to clock some miles up if you’ve renewed but sorry Bonny will be along in a moment to correct you. Slowest back line in the comp, signing has beens and should be playing Walker at hooker, heyho.

| Brian Smith turned a hapless team into
a flookin amazing team in 1-2 seasons
No big signings - just Gary Nolan winning the GF with a reach out try !
Crusher Cleal was quite a big signing I suppose
JC could easily do the same with this
Mob
Great to see the Cash from Thirkill being put to good use on breakfasts and the like.
It all counts
But strong leadership with accountability is priceless

| Seems like the first week has been harder than the whole of last pre season as whole.
Fantastic to hear the positive comments so far.
They are certainly putting in the hours. In at 7 and finishing around 3.

Ah Brian Smith
Some would say it's harder to do in the modern game but is it? I'm not sure it is. Brian Smith was a charismatic figurehead who not only did wonders with a poor team but also spearheaded the installation of new floodlights the demolition and replacement of the Threepenny Stand and the revamping of the in ground bar facilities to try to mirror the Leagues Clubs in Australia. However, he arrived with the team having eclipsed the great escape fro relegation the previous season by the skin of our teeth and did it by beating Rovers at caravan park with 6 missing. Under the temporary coaching of Tony Dean and Keith Hepworth who had taken over from Casey with us in a real rut, they over saw an improvement but we had a really poor team that regularly under performed under Casey ands had massive attitude issues under him too. recognise anything?
Enter Brian Smith who just signed four Aussies Colman Moon Boyle and Henry and after he instigated an open trial which attracted 70 players from across Yorkshire we got Ian Marlow signed up from Local RU. That's all we saw coming in of any substance whilst he immediately dropped Pearce (Pearce was over weight and under performing.... recognise anything here too?) Proctor and Tomlinson into the A team and we proceeded to lose our first 4 games. However we ended up as beaten finalists at Old Trafford at the end of the season after some historic performances, (who can forget the 35-20 victory at Wigan that some Wigan fans I know still insist instigated the Wigan walk) along the way. Brian Smith was a real Miracle worker and so miracles do happen. Or they did. Sadly for us not that often these days though!!!

| Brian Smith was truly the Messiah
He turned average into good
Good into Great and
Great into Excellent
The finest man manager ever IMO as he had no cash and worked from a shocking low base
Could JC be the new BS or is it just that ? Bs
