Quote: Stand-Offish "He's good enough, but then it wasn't him I mentioned.
Newcastle had QLT and Taulapapa, no wonder they did better than us ...
Even at their advanced years ... because they are class!
Bob Beswick also is class!'"
Newcastle must have had the leagues largest budget last season by a country mile ,and they still couldn't make it out of league 1.
Jason Payne was given cart blanche to get the players needed to get Newcastle in to the championship and spent heavily on the likes of Liam Finn, Misi Talipapa and Keal Carlise , however early loses lead to his termination.
This only goes to show money is not the be all and end all , Whitehaven and Oldham played basic rugby with no high value players with both achieving promotion.
How they will fair in the championship is another matter as budgets I would imagine would be tight.
I'm sure now the DR has ended RH will be looking to recruit a larger squad of players who will buy in to the clubs vision and what they want to achieve.
Logan is quality , as is Smeaton......…...Carter is highly regarded by York fans and if we can keep the likes of Boas , Beharrell and Frankie then I fancy we will be a force to be feared.
