townie88 450 Report post Posted June 30 Although I'd like to see as many local lads as possible. A complete local side may be able to compete at the top end of this division. However, if it gained promotion, they wouldn't be good enough to stay there without imports from away or abroad. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If Newcastle had the squad they have now that both town and haven have faced in recent weeks they would be clear top very very hard to beat now just their pace through the team is frightening Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Also a football obsessed City where ,in their previous guise, admittedly on the other side of the river, they struggled to top 150 speccies. They also play in a quality stadium underpinned by the Falcons and I believe promotion would attract more converts from the punt and grunt support. To be honest I'm envious! l 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DavidM 6,879 Report post Posted June 30 Very handy side whenever we’ve seen them . Struggle getting over them here . One thing they have is pace in key areas ... halves , fullback and threat out wide . No substitute for pace in a side . oh and Matthew Wright should be too good for this league coming from cronulla and the cowboys 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

David69 67 Report post Posted June 30 Very good team Newcastle, they be team I would put my money on to win league,halfbacks too quick and that new lad awesome .and missing was speedster Lewis young . Back to town team. We not a bad team overnight. We have lacked pace in backs all season, as seen today.in half backs fober n Doran have an understanding working together(like all last year).my opinion had different combinations last couple of games(forced due to injury etc) not been working to good, but defence not been good either.Be hard game next week at north wales they seemed to have turned a corner, still think we make playoffs at expense of London? Couple injuries today hope Calvin n Ryan who was helped off field ok. Utt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

townie88 450 Report post Posted June 30 That wound up about the performance I forgot about Fieldhouse. Hope hes ok. Poor lad needs a break (no pun intended). Massivly miss olstrum and barnes. Missing olstrum, barnes and Miller massively. Coincidentally, probably the 3 fittest lads at the club! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There seemed to be more town fans the Newcastle I agree, their never looked over a thousand today and we took a few through 3 buses and people in cars as well, got to say how good the ground is, suppose we can look forward to 3 bus shelters and name it the Jenkinson stadium now that clown has got his way. Just a thought why don't they organise a heavy weight fight night on the Reds ground between Jenkinson and Fryer, now that would pack them in!! 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
