Your absolutely spot on, which is why we absolutely must bring in a half-back for next year or the best we can hope for is a top 8 finish imo.

Don't ask difficult questions, Paul.

My expectations are to play attractive/entertaining brand of attacking rugby, show effort at all times, be consistent, get the little things right and be a very difficult side to beat.

Oh yes and have a much better +/- pts ratio than we have had over the last 5/6 years.

Get this sorted and the league postion and silverware should take care of itself.

My expectations are :..
Same individuals will whine about the same things on here week in week out with an Agar bashing thread everytime a player drops a ball or farts in a scrum .

On the footie front I would expect the incoming to have an influence on the club , having S:L & RH fit will be like having two new players anyway and a guide around the island which we have lacked this year.
Top 4 is realistic as you know we got into the playoffs with no halves so we should improve woth halves and back up which is on the way.

Cup run next year would be nice too

The coach we have did ok this year with no halves didnt he??
who is this half you mention then?? and where is the money coming from to pay him??
this hard as nails prop you mention, I am unsure who you mean but all the BIG names seem to already have contracts.
Attacking game plan?? didnt we get into the playoffs this year with no half backs nearly all year ??

RH and SL will never be fit. They are both finished as top flight rugby league players. Just like you really

Long and Horne aren't going to do much next year even if fully fit. If it was 2005 it would be a top class combination...but it'll be 2011 and both have lost their pace.

Not really. He should have got better performances out of our injury hit side. I expect him to still be in charge but he has to be the luckiest coach alive to still have a job, especially when you consider the records Kear and Sharp had when we got rid.

I most certainly am finished as a player but our two halves are certainly not, may i ask have you even been to watch a match this year cos you dont have talk some tosh mate!!
They are both fit now and were for the last two games of the season but were just rusty thats all

we reached the playoffs, the owners asked for that and he delivered it, next year we push on again hopefully dave

What difference does it make their fit now there's no games !! You do talk some crap

And there you go again talking your usual cack. Long is at the end of his career and even if fully fit is not good enough anymore at this level. Richard Horne has done nothing for two years and recent history points to the fact that things arent gonna change just because some prat who used to play rugby league says so.

they were fit last two games of the season too

SL is still regarded as one of the top SHs in SL and thats a fact mate!!, RH has done nothing much for two years because of what ??? sorry sisnt it mention that on boots n all ??

Well if the owners asked for the playoffs and were satisfied with us finishing 7th and losing in the 1st round they must be the least ambitious owners around. If they tolerate mediocrity then they deserve it when fans dont renew their passes.

Two of about 5 they played and you think they will guide us around the island next season !

Agreed, but for what it's worth, I would be surprised if we broke into top 4, although we are capable of doing so.

I'll settle for the same position providing we have a plus 200 points difference.

again the post is chopped into the bits that suit the poster.
Actually what they meant was a marked improvement on the previous two years which is exactly what they got, unlike many on here they dont want a magic fix they want to build a sustained squad development that will challenge for silverware ongoing not just in one season .
I do find it funny tho that you say our board tolerate mediocrity when they have just made us one of the most stable clubs on the planet ?? or was that crap too

Injuries they recieved can be neither attributed to age or poor coaching simple as that ...

I didnt chop you in post, read what you wrote again!!

You know i have a feeling that Sharp may well be a hero very quickly at the club, and if his form is anything like it was at quins he may well rack up quite a few too

Could be seen as poor coaching though to rely on 33 year old scrum-half with no back up

I hope so. Our attack has to improve. No excuses.

now now dave dont upset yourself little one!!! no need to be a potty mouth is there ?


I said that the owners asked for an improvement on last year and thats what they got, they told RA they wanted playoffs and that is what they got?? savvy


nice little rant tho
