  1. Awful result yesterday….but in truth it matters not, 2023 will go down in the record books as yet another season to forget, sadly we’ve had far too many over the last 3 or 4 years. I see Andy continues to front up and is promising a response next year with retention of the better lads from this year and some experienced additions, I really hope so a winning team is what brings the fans through the door, however I get this has been a planned reset season which in truth hasn’t ended much worse than years when we’ve spent a lot more in the squad, league table is sad to see, but for ‘expansion’ teams we are worst of the lot In professional RL, a sobering thought in many aspects the club is stronger than ever off the pitch which is good to see. Living out of town I’ve just not been motivated enough to travel and watch home games for a couple of seasons now, I know; shame on me but that’s mostly down to the on field position, a hugely uninspiring coach and squad, short term dual reg players coming in and disappearing again, match day costs, and experience is a long way from where it used to be (half a stand open inly etc) a fan is a fan through thick and thin etc etc I know all that. What is without question is the commitment Andy and the board have shown, so we have to trust these guys to deliver next season. What does success look like to me, promotion would be nice, but a winning team and a good play off run would be a start. A better working relationship with out main stakeholders in RAFC and the local RL community (both a two way thing). 2023 done and dusted, I look forward to a much improved 2024.
  2. What s happened to the ex-Mayfield players we had in the squad? I did hear Lewis was injured and some suspended also, but what about the rest, is it linked to Matt’s departure?
  3. Really frustrated today, it’s getting a bit like Groundhog Day, sloppy one on one tacking, on our goaline, poor discipline (the ref did make some strange calls, but for both sides), some back chatting and the ever present dumb plays/penalties. Swinton better than us in most aspects IMO I thought one of our best performers were Worrincy who ended up doing a lot the hard carries, more than some of our forwards in the second half. Not a lot seems to be coming through our centres either, Lewis and Ranghi keep plugging away (unbelievable hands for our try) but that apart not many line breaks. 10 games in the play-offs are the best we can hope for, we need to be winning away games against the top 4-5 also if we seriously want to challenge, feels a bit like same old story over the last couple of seasons. Frustrated. On a secondary topic does anybody find the ‘injury’ news that comes out of the club lacking? I’m never sure who is injured, not selected or even suspended?
  4. Hornets making a profit is a real positive, however its getting even tougher. Every credit to Paul, and the team Andy has brought in, let hope we see all the hard work reflected on the filed this season, its much easier promoting a winning team when trying to drum up the floating fans.
