The Dupree situation highlights the dilemma that a club like ours has. We obviously want to bring in good players but if they are immediately seen to be too good then they will very quickly snapped up by bigger, wealthier clubs. Trying to find superior players clearly compromises any long term planning that the coach may have in mind as better players will be quickly gone. So we are constantly looking out for decent, but not outstanding, Championship level performers who will do a solid job for us without being good enough to alert SL teams. These limitations make recruitment difficult and certainly compromise any genuine sense of ambition that we might once have had. We’re stuck in a grim cycle.
He then stated that he was going to turn Joe into a star turn. That's why like A C should never be anywhere near our club.I think Coleman would have been dismissed at the end of last season only for the club awarding a contract extension in May.I said at the time it was too early in the season and would be better waiting to see how results pan out.Finishing seventh in the second division with just four home wins now appears to be a reward of mediocrity.
Coleman does not rate Joe. I had it from a very good source and that is why he brought Patton in. Last year he was supposed to looking for a running 6, but has ended up with Abdul.
If Halifax can get an Australian halfback, why can't we?
so the question again is - Lyons at 7 sunday ?
As toby Hughes is now on loan with the frauds and Gilmore is still recovering from surgery
or will it be fozzy ?
@7-vikingnomad of course he will be and gregson at 13 and bent probably starting
obviously I think we ll struggle but will we get more than our usual 14/16 points
that’s bold that you think we will even get 16 points…
They will probably nil us with bent and Lyons playing.
hope to be proved wrong tho👍🏻
Well without Gilmore, Lawton, possibly mcwhirter and others we will struggle - I live in hope as they have to gel yet
@member151 I didn't want to be too negative!!! It's game one 😂
Loaning players out is progress compared to last year, surely? Last year's lot all disappeared without playing for anyone.
@jdgsport my bad I thought some went on loan n then left ....proof in the pudding is how long they stay ..all supposedly very highly rated ...mind you so is Toby but he's out in week one (for now)
