townie88 538 Report post Posted December 30, 2019 I say the same every year. But it always seems to be a lifetime waiting for the rugby season to start again. Squad numbers are good. All be it, I'd like to see at least one more prop. Loan market might be a possibility? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

havenhater 203 Report post Posted January 1 Another half back option also for me. Forber and Doran are brillaint together but need competition, doran especially, he is a class act on his day but needs a kick up the behind also at times 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I agree totally he had great speed and seemed to put everything in, a loss to the sport in general as you say shame, would have loved him to be still in a town shirt 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When he left it was said he was having a Season out of the game to adjust to a new career path.

Bearintown 164 Report post Posted January 5 What are we a couple of weeks from friendlies? Time to firm up the squad . Cos last season we were short from half a dozen games in. Not good enough again Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cos last season we were short from half a dozen games in. Not good enough again Everything you read from Chris Thorman appears to suggest that he is really happy the way pre season is going. There seems to be really good numbers at training with 21 or 22 signed on with signings still to be announced. He appears to have signed players who have really good attitude and are committed to the set up he is creating. I don’t think it is fair to say it’s not good enough again when he has obviously addressed the training issues and brought in players who he wants to work with. Whether that will be good enough to gain promotion in his first year in control, in what will be a highly competitive league, who knows, but hopefully we can look forward to some exciting times ahead in 2020.

havenhater 203 Report post Posted January 5 He seems very focussed on the lads we have with the right attitudes, I would just like to see the experience replaced up top. Wilkes, hopkins, penky and ffmm (although I hope he comes back) will take some replacing and its definitely something we need to do asap. A pack Leader is a must thanks, acton, does, shackley to name a few is what every team need. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
