m brooksy Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 I reckon this is one of our best signings along with Ridyard and Restall. He started slow in 2019 but around a third of the way into the season really hit his straps and by the end of the season was one of our best forwards week in week out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bedford Roughyed Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 1 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

Bedford Roughyed Posted December 1, 2021 Author Share Posted December 1, 2021 Fullback - Restall Wing - Holcroft, Brierley Centre - Hartley, Cooke, Wellington Utility Back - Morgan Half back - Hewitt, Ridyard Prop - Nelmes, Coventry, Mills, Andrade, Newton, Spencer, Thornton Hooker - Jinks, Slater, Wright Second Row - Cameron, Grierson, Muranka Loose Forward - Whittel Squad = 23 1 With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game.

m brooksy Posted December 2, 2021 Share Posted December 2, 2021 Think with the last two signings you can see the team start to come together with a 17 looking something like this. Restall, Brierley, Hartley, Wellington, Holcroft, Ridyard, Hewitt, Nelmes, Wright, Spencer, Thorton,Muranka,Whittel. Subs:Jinks,Coventry, Andrade,Newton. With Morgan, Cooke, Mills, Slater, Grierson and Cameron fighting for a place. Think we're light either in the halves or hooker depending on where Slater is more comfortable and maybe another back who can cover a few positions but very happy at the minute 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, the club have worked immensely hard to build what we have on paper practically from scratch. As yours, my concern is sill the key positions. Another of the calibre and experience of Ridyard in the halves is essential. One injury or loss of form will really handicap us. I guess Stu Littler will really have to prove his worth now to get this lot to gel. Can’t wait for March. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the pack is looking strong. Now rereading some of the comments from Swinton fans, they suggest that, last season, Ridyard was playing behind a beaten pack. I think Stuart littler is remedying that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m brooksy Posted December 4, 2021 Share Posted December 4, 2021 Pye is another cracking signing. Was a massive stand out in academy origin in a couple of seasons ago for Lancashire. That Thornton is more of a back rower than a prop so 7 props and 4 back rowers makes more sense. I think we definitely need another back who can cover multiple positions but the backs we've got will do very well in League One 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly been out with covid lockdown then injuries stopped any opportunity last year, so going two years without playing it will take a while to get match fit and up to speed but he loves the club and so do I so fingers crossed a bit of patience and he will do well.

shrewsbury roughyed Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Has Ben Heaton been released/ gone elsewhere/retired? I know he had a spate of injuries but his gladly experience would come in handy. I remember seeing him at York in a playoff semi at the end of his first period with us- he destroyed them in the first half; they couldn’t handle him.
