His commitment, skills and leading of the team are the reason we have made it to the qualifiers. It's all down to personal opinion and expectations as a supporter, everyone has their view and think it's quite healthy to have a different perspective to others.....but believe me, I'm not stark staring bonkers as you put it, far from it and to suggest that is quite insulting!! I, obviously, just have a different stance on things to you!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cardypaul Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 The way I see it is before we start letting players go we need to have replacements who are better than them. Doing that will depend on money and availability of players. We aren't a million miles away let's get the season finished and see what we have for next season money wise and go from there.

This is a good point. In terms of players at our level ie top-end Championship/fringe SL players, supply has been dented by Hull KR , whose squad numbers look to have reached about 40 now, and Toronto, who took plenty of good-quality players out of the Championship (&SL) into League One.

Couldnt agree more. I personally think hull KR have bought some players just to stop other teams having them. Is there a maximum number of players a squad can have? If not should there be?

Blue Pike Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 It seems to me if Fev want to stay a good Championship Team next year we stay as we are with the same players.If we wish to improve next year but in the end stay as a Championship Team we rape other Championship Teams like Sheffield for players mentioned like Mexico.But if we have any ambition to possibly make it as a S L Team after the middle 8s we need to be signing next year half decent SL players to have a chance but that involves large sums of money which I have no idea that we posess or we can go my way of trawling the NRL feeder clubs at bargain prices .Before the start of next season we will know what path we have chosen.

Another problem if you decide you want those type of quality players then you would have to make the jump to full time. Its an awful position for teams like Fev and Fax to be in and its no good for the overall good of the game. Neither team has the finances to take such a massive gamble but both teams seem to be on average better than the other Championship teams over a good period of time yet neither team has made the jump. Its probably partly the fault of the clubs but also partly the fault of the people running the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Pike Posted July 30, 2017 Share Posted July 30, 2017 IN a scrum half as cover to Thackeray but must have a bit of attitude ( a nasty s##ne ) like Shaun Edwards or Bobby Goulding and a hooker like Chappy who likes splitting defences with the show and go.

fev4evatiggerneva Posted August 15, 2017 Share Posted August 15, 2017 Weve 2 very good hookers in carlile and wilde, the problem is wilde been played out of position in the halfs most of the season, resulting in carlile playing far 2 many minutes. Carlile is very clever round the ruck, but been doing 70/80 minutes most of the season and making 40 to 50 odd tackles a game. Weve missed the spark of a fresh pair of legs coming off the bench at acting half. Thackray and Briggs are quality together in the halfs, but not had enough game time together. Weve seen what they can do in the last 3 games though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean did Duffy even know about the offer until someone had a bit of fun with the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
