Quote: OFFTHECUFF "I agree with most of what you say but i think Matt Gardner deserves a chance.He has played well for us this year.Some of our yougsters could be even better in 2yrs time.Ste Tyrer and Sam tomkins where not outstanding for us in the championship and are doing good in superleague now.Richard Myler was good and did not think he become a top notch player.So shows if got better players around you, and fulltime it would make a difference.

I always thought Gardner was most confident under the high balls out of Flynn,Ford and any other players who have played winger/full back over this season's games.

At Leigh Hill, Bibey, Lulu, Nash and the 4 DC lads. Would also take Higson, Meekin and Ridyard as possibles.

SuperLeague????

Ford - as a centre
Flynn - wing
Thackeray - halfback
Pickersgill - bench frontrow
Smith - bench 9
Allen - squad player
Grady - squad player
Hulme - squad player

Doesn't make good reading does it?

Gaskell - nowhere near good enough
Varkulis - nowhere near good enough
Kohe Love - too old
Webster -not good enough, too old, too slow, too predictable
Gannon - too old
Doran - nowhere near good enough
Gerrard - nowhere near good enough
Coyle - not good enough, overweight and not suited to top level
Haggerty - nowhere near good enough, lazy
Kavanagh - not good enough, lazy
Yates - nowhere near good enough
Gardner - nowhere near good enough
Strong - nowhere near good enough
Thompson - not gonna be good enough
Houghton - not gonna be good enough, no athleticism
Mullally - no idea whats happened to him

Did I say not good reading? I mean bl00dy frightening!

You have a squad needed to compete in The Championship. You'll have a new squad when you get into Super League. Why waste a SL squad in The Championship when you don't need to? Simples icon_biggrin.gif

I do worry that if we are granted a licence, then year 1 could be very damaging in the short term so much so that it could be hard to recover from. A major player turnover and the chance of a new squad taking time to gel. This could seriously affect the younger players at the club in terms of confidence.

I think there'd be a need to recruit a new coach. That might surprise people I know.

But i'm talking about keeping Cullen and the current backroom team but adding a new face that is known for bringing people together. Somebody in the mold of Frank Endacott (I know what you're all gonna say).

What I mean, is a person who has good interpersonal skills that can get the lads bonding. I dont get the impressionthat Cullen is that sort of bloke. He seems very stern and set in his ways and not somebody who is easily approachable. I may be wrong, but thats the persona he has.

To me the franchise winner takes the bulk of the losers squad and imports better. It is then hoped that the winner can produce their own after a couple of years

Have you been watching rugby leaugue for long? If not then you must be a visionary. Give SOC a call - he'll be wondering why he gave PC the job before speaking to you eusa_think.gif .

Yes I see that. The quality is definately a worry. I really hope we can produce some talented kids. Some great young players coming through at the moment. I suppose the true test of our development of players will be seen in a few years.

Year 1 will be difficult - it always is in terms of player turnover, that's why 3 year licences are granted.

Someone like Frank Endacott - well you said it "I know what you're all gonna say".

This seasons team has the best team spirit I've seen for years. As for bonding, I don't know if are best mates or not but they don't have to be bosom buddies, just as any workmates don't have to be - they just have to do their jobs to the best of their abilities - and this season AFAIC they are.

I'd sooner have them playing as a team and for each other as pros than be best buddies like Franks party people.

Frank Endacott as I've said was an example. I'm talking about a type of person rather than the person mentioned.

How do you view team spirit?

How do you know that everybody was best buddies like Franks party people?

Team spirit IMO is what the team does when their backs are against the wall. Coming back from certain defeat - or as near as damn it.

I'd imagine Franks boys were all pretty close being as they were on the pop together at every given opportunity behaving like they were on 18 -30 holidays for all the town to see.

Agreed on the team spirit topic.

In terms of the Endacott team on the pop, I never had the good fortune to see that so i'll take your word for it. I'm assuming that by your insinuations, you witnessed this first hand? Or is it another case of 'I was reliably told by my best friends brothers boss who heard it in the betting shop'?
