JMB 174 Report post Posted October 19, 2019 3 hours ago, townie88 said: I thought it was exactly to make up the numbers? To stop teams going into games without a full bench. We find it hard enough to attract amateurs as it is. Never mind if they only know they will be involved as and when we need them? Will they receive contract money even if they dont play? I would love it to work. But can only see the semi pro clubs benefiting. It wouldn't benefit anyone but the pro club, and it looks like the rfl are looking to stop the bad publicity and the reputation of the pro clubs who are unable to name 17 fit players, lets be truthful, it wasn't just down to injury's that the club couldn't field 17 players at the end of the season was it.

Let’s be truthful 5 injuries, a suspension and a retirement due to knee clean op not improving Ollys knees didn’t help though did it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BlueVintheblood 131 Report post Posted October 20, 2019 I think I'll move on, seems JMB you have some decent points but underlying seems to be a questionning and negative attitude towards most things tbh. I'm off to drink my half full cup of tea. We'll have to just disagree. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They maybe negative but the truth, you can only bury your head in the sand only for so long, I want the best for the club but I wont sit back and say nothing if I feel its wrong and it should be highlighted, but I'm not just a Town fan but a rugby league fan, pro and amateur, we will all have a better idea of this rfl proposal when we all see the full rule. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ivans82 677 Report post Posted October 21, 2019 All this just highlights how lucky us old uns were when we had an "A" Team to watch on Saturday afternoons when the First were away . Was reading an old programme from the late 60`s the other day and it said we had a signed a new player but had to cross one off our books as we already had 50 players signed on and that was the limit permitted . 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Voodooguru 750 Report post Posted October 28, 2019 I think they will be drip fed to us to keep the interest going over a few weeks in the lead up to season tickets coming on sale. But that's just my guess. Quote The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
townie88 496 Report post Posted October 28, 2019 Will they not all be announced at the open evening the club has recently advertised? Personally think it's great that the signings/resignings have been kept tight lipped? Normally here 1000 different rumours before they get announced. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
