DavidM Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Not sure but I'd think it's pretty normal for DR players to train once or so at the back end of the week as they'll be at their parent club most of the time training and working there ?

Bizarrely there'll be plenty of snipers on here hoping he doesn't play just so they can have another dog at the club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Negativity or frustration? Club could and should be 7 or 8 points better off. Good luck to the lads tommorow. Positives are the club is on a much sounder footing and this group of players has the potential to kick on with the addition of a couple of props.

Think big Phil Joseph is a must in the team just for his size and experience, this will give the younger players a boost, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Getting very dull & negative however I think it was important that we got in the top 8s, we've had a fair mix of travelling players and no traveler has let us down. If we hadn't made them top 8s whether it was down to travelers or locals it would have been outright disastrous for the club paying a fair amount of winning pay on very low 300/350 crowds. We had to get on an even keel & recover from poor financial decisionsin the past, it's a stage by stage development and maybe Mewse ,Rooke will push through again and they will if they are good enough and want it enough. Our forthcoming fixtures are both winnable and interesting and those who constantly say this league is rubbish are just fueling the fires to the non fully converted, the town needs to support this board because they are working very hard to keep rugby alive in this town and it's a very difficult balance getting the combination of local and traveling players right. Personally I think they've done a pretty good job in getting us competitive, a promise Les Ashe made & has kept. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidM Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Well it's all about how you see it but I think the negativity mirrors the negativity of the season . I struggle for a positive this year in what I've seen , we won 7 games in the full league campaign against expansion teams with a combined points difference of minus 2000 , and edged into the top 8 purely through that . It just seemed an almighty struggle throughout Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure we did? agreed , all of the targets mentioned in pre season have been met dispite some big injury blows to small squad and it has always been said to be a 3 year plan , some people expect miracles from having no squad in december and no money and no coach and some have forgotten (or rather have chosen to ) that this coach is low cost and part time and has kept town both in the 8's and financially viable .

Well indeed but the reverse is they pretty much all are but we haven't done it and there's been to many ifs . I've seen haven a few times and they don't look any great shakes at all either , and from all the higher teams I've seen it looks like it just takes mastery of basic skills and organisation to achieve , below Toronto , in this league . There's nothing frightening at all , completing , kicking , organisation , man management , solidity along with the odd go to player take you a long way , but to me we haven't been able to achieve and nail the basics consistently in a game far far to often and have repeated the same things which hamstring us . It's been masked against lower teams but overall it's a mixture of the results and the deficiencies we've repeatedly shown which have contributed to them . Maybe we'll kick on next year , but to do so we must iron out the basic errors or we'll continue to struggle whatever the master plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seemed an almighty struggle throughout I actually think the season has been one of frustration at some good performance in patches in all games with exception being York away + the 2nd Toronto game. We did only win minimal matches against the development teams but we were very close in others namely, Haven,Donny, Keighley at home are 5 points we threw away. Newcastle home could have gone our way too. A couple of wins earlier in the campaign may have got us on a roll similar to what Haven went on....however it didn't, who's fault that may be is for our board to decide. As for positives....emergence of solid local pros, Maudling ,Curwen,Hambley, Singleton, the form of Jamie Doran would be a start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes apologies that was an exaggeration , you are right about those guys . Collectively though we've not put it together . It's not miracles or asking for great things at all but we should have been a lot better and smoother at the fundamentals for me , which others have largely build good seasons on , and have they that got that great a group of players in some instances ? . That's been the big frustration , and it's a recurring one . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anonymouse Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 I understand frustration but the thing is , thunder lost again , cougars are almost sure to lose and if haven beat donny and town win tomoz we could be on 19 pts and only 1pt off 5th with a possible 8 more pts to grab then anything can happen ... why judge now ? lets hope the lads turn up and there will be a totally different outlook tomorrow evening if they win .

Guest Posted August 13, 2017 Share Posted August 13, 2017 Think we're a bit unfortunate hitting teams on the rebound so I think It will take a colossal effort to beat York. Not beyond us though and should it happen it would make my season! UTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
