I think I'd rather have this team of Leigh rejects playing at the minute, letting all these players go now looks stupid:

1. McNally
2. Higson
3. Brown
4. Fleming
5. Claire
6. Ridyard
7. Drinkwater
8. Hopkins
9. Pelisier
10. Maria
11. Patterson
12. Hock
13. Burr

14. Hampshire
15. Green
16. Tickle
17. Vea

They would dominate the current team.

Let it go man. No point dwelling on the past. '81 side would probably beat them too, so what? Get behind the current team if you're a real supporter.

Brown is awful at centre
Fleming was never our player
Clare probably didn’t want to stay
What did drinkwater do last season?
Pelissier over hood and higham?
Maria didn’t want to stay
Burr didn’t want to stay
Hock will hardly ever play second row again now

Yes, mistakes have been made, but easy to get rose tints about last seasons team.

Toronto's starting line up 2019

(Could do with Riddy back)

We have a good team now, just need to fire that's all

Keep the faith

I believe we do have the makings of a good team - all we need is a quality halfback to lead them around the pitch.

Hence the Riddy quote

Yup! A team ideal to play, dominate and get promoted from the Championship which was, is and remains the objective for 2018 -- you would expect. Replaced by a bunch of Aussies that may very well want to leave -- just like Baptiste -- by October.

If we didn't dicuss this for fun, the forum would be...

I wouldn't mind seeing this team;

Hall
Dawson
Crooks
Matautia
Evans
Ridyard
Hutchinson
Acton
Hood
Mason
Thompson
Gregson
Thompson

Higham
Larroyer
Patrick
Dezaria

Poor decisions for half back is what ultimately cost Bradford, and is costing us.

Overall, I'd say a more balanced team LeythIg. The 'but' is, do they have as much spirit? And if approached for next year would Ridyard consider a return? I don't know the guy but I'd guess he has too much integrity not to fulfill his 2 year contract at Featherstone. Duffy certainly let's him play -- like a kid in sweet shop on Sunday.

Maybe Cunningham can pull off some Magic by swaying Matty Smith to come for the season and do a job at 6. However audacious, I think that would really make a statement of intent.

Isn't that the squad that got relegated?

It is !!!


But its also the quad that pasted London by 40 in the middle 8's away, and Fev and Halifax !!

The fax game is huge and so is Batley. we are so desperate for 2 confidence boosting wins, because we cant bloody win at home !!!
