They are in build but not sure they are in skill set.

Truth is WP is a new coach and he hasn’t been with us long. He also seems to be going through the club with a big brush. So maybe he wouldn’t have let Titus go in the first place but now wants that style of player and he thinks Sid a better option, just surmising.

Ditto with your lad, I may be wrong but I would imagine WP didn’t have much contact with Ollie? So to him he’s not a known quantity. I don’t like laying blame but I suppose you’d have to point the finger at CC. As to me the bringing in of Senior was a truly poor decision, especially as he was used at centre which he clearly wasn’t. I suppose it’s bad luck, but Dewsbury is a club where he can still get noticed and if he does I pray it’s not Cas because that’s where my sympathies end

Well you would wouldn’t you. I’m all for respecting people ethnic origins but his name is a mouthful to your average RL fan,

So Sid it is.

Nah....think we should call him "Good" as hopefully he will turn out to be a Good Buyi, but if he doesn't then at the end of the season it will be Good Byi





I'll get my coat.....

Sadiq isn't exactly a hard name to say.
I've no problem with people who want to give nicknames but not just for the international names.

If he's OK with it, like Tini instead of Tinirau then great, which in this case it seems it is.

Don’t make it serious PT, he calls himself Sid and WP calls him Sid and his surname is hard work, just go with the flow for once

That won’t happen, apparently he has a super contact for one year that runs for two

You can't leave it alone can you....????

As I said, in this case it seems OK.

Sorry but no I don’t agree, it’s ok in almost any case IMO.

You don’t choose nicknames you are given them. And unless they are deeply offensive in someway or indeed illegal ie racial abusive there is nothing you can do about it and rightly so, that to me is extreme snowflakery (I just made that word up).

Unless there is some incredible deep meaning to the Sid moniker then in no way is it an issue, even though everything seems to be an issue these days.

I’ve had two nicknames in my life, Sevi and Vast, both started as mild micky takes over something or other and neither ruined my life.

Especially relevant was Sevi, I’m not Spanish but it worked.

You are wrong, both WP and AL had more involvement in the day to day coaching of the team than CC, unfortunately a decision was made early on in the season under CC's tenure (but Ollie didn't find out until 2nd September) that the team would be massively reduced in numbers due to reduced funding and he and a good few players were being taken off the books (I believe there are still another 2 or 3 to be announced as leaving) thankfully Lee greenwood had seen and heard enough good about Ollie to approach him and although he had offers from 3 other championship clubs, dewsbury offered the best opportunity for him to develop. BTW I don't blame WP or AL, I know exactly where to lay the blame and the reasons behind the decisions

Again, FT, just like to wish Ollie all the best.

Sad doesn't have quite the same ring to it...

He will be [idelighted[/i that you've already changed his name from Sid......

These things happen, there are only so many places to go around so why blame anyone, that's life. We all take hard knocks, it's how we respond that defines us.
