The players he might recruit would be travellers and the jam have shown that success can be based on a backbone of locals coached by locals. Whatever else affected our players today Thorman made some strange positional decisions and clearly failed to motivate the troops. I think we could still have mainly local squad under him. The current ones plus the group that will be surplus up the road and maybe some returning from South of the county. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We need to have a locally based squad that can actually train together more than once a week ,we have to bite the bullet and build local .Let's give youth a chance or I fear this time next year ,like this time this year and this time last year ,we will have run out of players and still be top of the table pretenders When I say attracting players I think you are assuming I mean out of county players. Not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavidM Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Confirmed as well that next year it will still be an 11 team league with only 20 games padded out through the season ... then Ottawa will come in so it’s maybe now or never . It’s barely even a league , which is a crying shame given what it was with 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would class jjp and dion as being local as they've been with us for years but realistically they are travellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brad hepis heed Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 So yet again anyone the slightest bit critical of the club is automatically presumed a Whitehaven fan.Lets see where not being too critical of this season gets us . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day as supporters you want players who will give 100% for your team,if they are locals,great if they are travellers fine.

townie88 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 If Thorman stays, I can se Fui staying? What is a certainty is that we will need a good few signings before the start of next season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMB Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hopefully the bod will be working hard on this issue and also consulting with who ever the coach will be for the 2020 season, some times this has to be done behind closed doors so other clubs don't get wind of it, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is that the speccies who either came back or maybe watched for the first time would be pretty unimpressed by that pathetic performance. So,once again we shoot ourselves in the foot. Coming away from the ground I walked behind a group of half a dozen lads who were venting their frustration. One of them remarked - " First time I've been down this season and they play complete sh*te!". Don't suppose they were the only ones . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
