YES it was interesting to hear what he said but how long will we be waiting as fans to react to a few that are yet to be announced remember yesterday we’ll announce a fresh new signing. who never appeared Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobLambert Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 8 hours ago, marklaspalmas said: We are now up to 21 players for next season. With the long awaited JSL to come, perhaps there may not be many more signings after that. If DR is happening in some shape or form, then a 23 to 25 man squad might be about the right size. Let's see. Looking at the changes, I think we're a man short still in the middles, and also perhaps at centre. In the backs, Hall's position is the big question mark for me. I thought he was ok at full-back but he was moved from there and played his best rugby and was most prolific on the wing. But we have three other out-and-out wingers among those six players. Centre looks weak with only Hardcastle a genuine centre. I think Hall will play there, but defensively we've had problems with that. In the pivots, Brown is a loss, but Holmes & Chizz as first choice is pretty strong. Smith is an unknown factor after such a long injury lay-off and is a bit of a punt, but if it comes off, we will be ok. Wildie for Parata? Two very different AHBs. Let's see how that goes. In the forwards, Koppy & Locky a year older and so far no newbies after Harrison and Fergie left. Maybe we'll see more of JD and/or Moors and/or Ferres in the middle rather than second-row? Hellewell for Halton in the second row plus the previously named, and a fuller season from Bussey would be a boost. *** Rod Lambert & TPH made some really good points about our squad on the other thread about other teams' squads. I think we'll end up with two thread on the same topic here......... Luke B played at centre quite a bit last year....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fans will be in uproar if the club fails to fulfil the wildly unrealistic expectations of the fans? The club has simply announced (with a certain drum-roll) signings and re-resignings periodically.

The Phantom Horseman Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 Think we just need to be patient. We already have a squad that ought to be challenging for top two just based on retentions and signings so far, and if the club is saying we have some exciting signings still to come maybe we should just trust them? Look at past years, as I've said before. Moors was announced in January last year, Kopczak and Holmes in December, we've often announced big signings in January (Gareth Hock and Cameron King are two who come to mind). Remember all the doom and gloom 3 years ago when we played Cas away in a friendly in late December with Ryan Bailey, Jordan Tansey and Macauley Hallett our big trialist "signings" in that game and got mullered by their kids, then we got to within 25 minutes of promotion the same season? Time to sit back, take a deep breath, and await further announcements as and when they come, imo. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time to sit back, take a deep breath, and await further announcements as and when they come,the only thing that bugs me is the inane silliness on our twitter page a major signing a fresh new signing and if we sell x amount of ST we will tell you That's true PH I'm sure all will come out in the wash the good problem is FEV being a top club won't just sign anybody who pops up I think it doesn't help when thunder announce their 20th new signing even though not many if any are good enough to play for FEV I think it would also help to ease some fans frustrations if they announce a NEW player who has not appeared on the FEV rumour mill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Phantom Horseman Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 It wouldn't surprise me if we announced somebody this weekend, but the terminally impatient could always stroll down to Post Office Road on Monday and see who rocks up for the first day of pre-season training! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
