Forgive my ignorance if i'm wrong but wouldn't Smith and Gene counted as two oversea coaches?

Thibk you mentioned in another post, no coincidence that our attack improved hugely when we have Reynolds and Trueman, neither were brilliant, but just that experience really helps set things up

Tony Smith obtained British Citizenship many years ago.

It's almost as if we've signed Cust as a back up half back because we are concerned Abdull is always injured and Sezer will miss games because of his age but Cust isn't injury prone. Don't get Cust simply don't get it.

I've always said he is the one signing I can't get my head around, should have kept Reynokds or gone for Leyland, even Hampshire.

you also need players with guile,flair and expereience in your team.our back division is devoid of them.you can see why we have only averaged 12 points a game.

Better but still not good. The players on the pitch mostly put into practice what happens on the training filed. Some clubs look like they know what they're doing and some don't. Personnel play a part but also training it into them.

I really hope cartwright isn't another coach who encourages players to "play what they see"

Can't cover half back or full back.

don't worry, chamberlain and hardaker at centre next season

no, stupid idea to sign a hooker to play hooker

Ideally, a Quota Player should be in 17 man squad, as a 1st pick, NOT someone who if everyone else is fit, won`t get a game.

But why are we signing Rapana?
No doubt a quality player in his time but he is a wing now playing full back and you see him here as a centre.
According to the HDM is was not our first choice as once again we were turned down by the player/players we wanted.Sailor was mentioned
I know we are weak at centre so why dont we go all out to sign a centre.
There is just no strategy
We are ok in the wing positions,and even if Walker leaves we have full back cover in Moy,Litten and Hardaker.
Notice there is no place in your proposed team for our star 3 year man Chamberlain

Easy to kick the boys when they are down to the bare bones, Cas have quite good quality at 1, 6, 7, 9, and 13, we don’t, but we did manage to get back in the game, and a couple of missed opportunities you never know.

Chamberlain is a decent squad player, will provide good cover in a number of positions, replaces Scott, not sure why him signing is a big deal.

Maybe there aren't any decent centres available, so we sign a good player in another position rather than a poor centre.

I'd try him at centre, but suspect he will play fullback.

ideal though to stop the leaks in midfield
