In an ideal situation players get dropped but we saw not long ago players who travel and were key signings it doesnt often happen , take Hulme and Murphy for example , both were poor in some games , was forrester put in Murphy's boots ? or Akehurst in Hulmes ?

If forrester or Akehurst stuck around they could have had a shirt for most of the relegation season. Can't recall going with 17 very often !!

DavidM Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I don’t know or much care what guys are getting paid , it’s not for us . You’ve gotta trust the people on the inside who know the numbers to run the ship responsibly. This new set up has done ok so far . And remember some of these players are in the last chance saloon and maybe haven’t got many options , and we’re throwing them a lifeline , so it’s not all in their court to demand anymore . I’m sure it’s mutually beneficial and the hope is somewhat sustainable with attracting fans to see these guys they know of and hopefully better results . I just wanna see us win and get up the ladder again , whoever we get and wherever they’re from , I’m not fussed as long as they put it in . If that’s the aim then great , you get fed up being disappointed and losing or struggling against decent or workmanlike teams . At least we’re having a dig for better with players who give you a bit of optimism and a buzz to see them . Last year was the pits and we’ve been treading water so this is a huge upturn I couldn’t have foreseen, and it’s gonna be interesting to watch now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate the rec Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Just back from the game , I have got to say Town are playing a better brand of rugby than last year, this was always going to be a hard match, the two friendlys didn't push Town and the haven game was spoiled by not having people on the park, Keighley are a good well balanced side, not much size but fast and enthusiastic with the ball in hand and I was very impressed with their 6,7 and 9 but for me there fullback was class, Town with a bit of luck could have pulled this out of the hat, there two trys just before half time were the killer. Gordon Maudling just gets better he is going to score a few this year, Wilkes took it up well and Bailey took some stopping, Newts and Penky directed well and Scott and Buffer looked better, although I still think if we had Jamie on the field we would have won this game but hey ho that's how it goes, Nice to see Jordan Tansey in the bar with the Town boys he will strengthen the centers up as this was were we were weak in my opinion, a defeat ye but get the defence sorted and I can see more wins than losses this year .UTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy has a pedigree there second to none and that’s what got him signed , so you’d reckon they’d want to see him in his prime position that made his name Irrespective of who ends up first choice fullback, why put a proven winger with no fullback experience there, and put a fullback with proven experience on the wing??

If that's correct then bring em on. But if being concerned about the future of the club I love and have been watching for 54yrs makes me a ######, then so be it. UTT.

But yeah, we are very slow in the centres and is the area LP needs to address. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hate the rec Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 Just want to mention the lovely gesture from a Preston Audi towards the warm up tops for the team yesterday in memory of James Newtons dad who recently passed away, this is what makes our great game special, well done everyone.
