| Quote: fc casual "I'm willing to right off this year as a chance to make the relevant changes to our squad which the last regime left us with. Allow some youngsters to come through the ranks would be my preference so we can get rid of some of our average players, as this imo has set us back years with Agars reluctance to play the youngsters.
To many average cr^p on decent money with no youth who we know can cut the mustard at super league level has resulted in us having a salary cap issues imo and signing the likes of Burnett, Aspinwall and Martin on 1 year deals which are short term fixes for this year.
Next year will be a big year as we have some decent players at the ends of there contracts o'meley, moa the above players etc with the hopeful development of our youngsters it will give us a bit more flexibility with the salary cap but we need to be shrewd.
New coach and assistants, new board and more importantly new ideas with plenty of feedback from the camp seems to bode well, give a good account of ourselves and be more consistent this year if we can is all I’d ask for then really stamp our authority the years after.
I'm up for the change and the ride for the next few years as I’ve had to put up watching some right poop over the past 4 years and it can't get any worse, surly?'"
That about sums it up for me,anywhere from 6th or above and a visible improvement in the way we play,a plan B when things obviously aren't working and not crumbling due to lack of ideas and intensity against the top end teams and i'll be happy. I don't think anyones expecting to be topping the table (despite the rovers fans claiming we'll have said we did). |

Seb, dont worry too much about these two, Martin will be trying to prove a point and Aspinwall, according to Bomber is the rough edge we needed in the middle! At the meet the coach session, Gentle said Aspinwall is shaking some bones in training and everyone is giving him a wide berth, hard as nails. Have faith. I'm just pleased we have been promised more than 5 drives and a kick this season!!  |

4 drives, a mistake and a kick by a prop forward?

Hope thats true, great to hear though!!! I always liked him as a player and always thought he looked a proper handful !
I remember watching him on TV SL get nailed on the button with a right hook by Westwood and gave 10 fold in reply without flinching!! I think he may turn into a real fans favourite....
Listen all last season everyone wanted rid of kath, the board, the coaches and half the squad and thats exactly what everyone got so there is no need to be unhappy just give Gentle time to do his thing and turn things around.
Has anyone watched em train yet ???

This is the first season I've looked forward to for a while. The last three or four years, going to rugby has become a chore, something I went to because I always had done, rather than going because I enjoyed it.
I think our squad for next season has a really good balance to it and obvious weaknesses seem to have been addressed with decent recruitment (we have an actual scrum half and a kicking game next year!).
Due to the high number of changes to the squad and the fixture list, I think we may struggle for results early in the season.Ride this storm, keep improving and hopefully peak towards the business end of the season. Leeds & Saints last year proved that finishing in the top 2 doesn't guarantee you a grand final place.

think he may make a few eat their words but anyway he is clearly a stop gap BUT hope he runs riot and earns another contract and given he was possibly in the top three players in a poor crusaders team i think he may surprise a few.
Aspinwall?? if he plays half to his potential he will be a great signing , great hands hard as nails and just fits the bill in a thin squad in my opinion
very happy with how we look'"
Will you start selling ice creams again in the summer? |

I don't think the squad is good enough to seriously challenge. I hope we start to see some consistency and a big culture change throughout the club and for us to have a positive season that doesn't fizzle out like teh last few.
I'm just glad agar and his financial vampire auntie has finally gone
