snoopdog Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Will all come down to budget and squad size , a small handful of players taking a huge chunk of budget as been proved doesn't work, hence why the squads been to thin. A mixture of locals, experience and young players ripe for improvement is my preferred option, whatever way we go the squad needs better balance than this season.

townpower Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Heard a rumour at work we are signing Jessie Joe Parker as he is surplus to requirements. Dont know how factual it is as it's only a rumour but it seems viable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be very good for town but isn't the player he was hasn't played much 2nd half of the season won't make it at champ level now so in league 1 can still do a job I'd say very hard for me to say he's passed it but he is sadly when we first got him wow what a strike player Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffer's points tally is duly flagged up at the top of the stats table both for goals and points. If he's up for another season l would be happy. He would be a great mentor for Blain Marwood. Having said that Carl had a very poor game against Donny but most did. Stevie's work rate is second to none but Mellor ,despite his great form , is gone l understand.

town blue Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 6 hours ago, town4me said: 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. What do you mean, three years in champ. Div. 1? You must be joking.

Given the RFL's approach to the basement division we need to get out a.s.a.p.! God knows who they will fast-track in from all corners of the Globe at the expense of the traditional heartlands.

I meant will the strategy be 1. building a team over the next few years working with mainly locals or 2.going flat out for promotion next season bringing short term travellers in. Of course nobody wants to be in this league but sometimes you have to take stock and work to a planned stratergy. Hopefully the RFL will see sense and go back to a two league structure soon anyway.

Meaning at his current age and condition he's very good for league 1 but not championship level anymore and we need championship class players or higher now town are in league 1 and would DO a fine job at league 1 level there's a big step between league 1 and championship standard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

havenhater Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I think thorman must given his chances like every other coach and he has blown it. Would expect him to get a chance at haven next season as some of his best rugby was under charlo previously and wait and see I'm thrive in the championship. On the jjp case I'd take him if given the chance too. Isnt he a local now on paper? Whatever happened back end of the season for haven, he is always class in a derby as is dion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Town Army Posted September 15, 2019 Share Posted September 15, 2019 I think both ourselves and Haven would be crazy to go anywhere near KO next season, more than likely be back at Wath Brow if he plays anywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
