Danny BRAVO wasn't signed last season , so wasn't in 2019 squad , although he did train and recuperate from his knee op , I bet his 1st competitive game will be Jamaica v England knights Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerT Posted October 10, 2019 Author Share Posted October 10, 2019 Having had a look at last years signings we have only Walker and Senior to go. Last years loanee's and dual reg are Wood, Bienek, Wood, Broadbent and Butterworth, will have to wait and see. My guess is Walker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

graham fisher Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 Well having re-signed practically all of last seasons squad,what if they struggle again? It could be Diskin wasn’t a bad coach after all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It could be Diskin wasn’t a bad coach after all. think we all knew the players were not as bad as the results said. you yourself have alluded to the fact that some of the players didnt like Diskin and the fact that non of the so called 'dewsbury bound' lads have left shows this.... this may be down to money or loyalty (although i suspect the former) but lets see how they perform under a coach who they like. by the way which players were going to jump ship to 'Jowsbrey' if Diskin had stayed?

ernieone Posted October 10, 2019 Share Posted October 10, 2019 So are you saying the players cheated the paying spectator by not playing to there full potential because they did not like the coach? If that was the case they should of been shipped out to make way for players that wants to play for the club and spectators. It is easy to put all the blame on the coach but let's face it the players were diabolical in a number of matches they could not complete sets, consistently dropped the ball, gave silly free kicks away on the 4th/5th tackle. Some matches we could not even score a point and in general the standard of rugby was poor which you cannot just blame the coach. 1950s Gallant Youth, 2000 Bulldog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
