havenhater Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Looking at 2020 Fieldhouse Wellington (if he stays) Miller Singleton Bolton (if he stays) Doran Forber (new halfback definitely to be mentored) Dawson O'Donnell Curwen Barnes Moulding Scholey Subs Marwood That's not a bad 14 with Lancaster Walsh rooke But we need a big bench and hooker As for penky, fui fui tickle I think it's time they went.

I would keep all of the last 3 you mentioned if we could, y is it time they went? They have all trained and shown a very professional attitude Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry mate but they've been class all season, all 3 of them superb, penky has been imo one of our top 3 best players this year, fui is unstoppable by the opposition line and danny tickle is a leader on the pitch and a role model off it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with you. Seems like you can be some sort of hero if you go training. That’s a general observation and not just aimed at those 3.

havenhater Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 If they had been class, we would be in whitehavens position not ours. Penky has been well below the heights of last season and I honestly think o'Donnell and marwood will provide better partnership next season at 9. Fuifui is unstoppable in attack but any opposition coach will spot him in defence and another year older maybe too much. As for tickle, he is clearly a good old head to have but on the whole season he hasn't been anything special, maudling and barnes have been better.

Well 3 players dont carry a team, its been an up down year, players leabinh before the season started and players leaning during the season, 2 different coaches, lack of training, cant blame ot on 3 players just because they used to play super league and nrl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Age is the only thing against Fui, Tickle & Penky - all three have pulled their weight and been professional all season. You could argue Penky has not had the same effect as last season, IMO this is mainly down to his individual style of play that looks genius when it comes off and not so when it doesn't. Does any one know if they want to continue next season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My comment was in respect of Tickle, runs lines the others dont even see mate, plus he directs the team all day long. Hardly misses a tackle either. Our form is not just down to those 3 you decided to highlight? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
havenhater Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I based my comment on going forward next season and not retaining them. There experience is second to none agreed but last season penky magic was what got us into the play off finals, him ticking made the team tick. this season that magic hasn't appeared too much. So what would retaining him next season prove? With regards to tickle, vocally brilliant but as for these outstanding performances, I honestly havnt seen it, he has looked average overall. One or 2 games very good. That pot of cash could surely be used on a half back whos job it is to direct the team. Ffmm again Visa wouldn't come cheap, going forward I'd look for one or 2 locals instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

town4me Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 If we dont get through the play offs then Regarding these 3 staying or not comes down to the question Is next season promotion at all costs or build a team over 3 years under CT capable of making the step upto championship level. If its the latter then I would expect to see some if not all 3 move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bearintown Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 While all three mentioned have plenty of positives about them, I would think about moving on without them, thus freeing up funds that could be used elsewhere.- especially half back! In particular why carry three hookers in the squad - time to let the youth have a go in Dec and Blain surely Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
