IanMac Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 Anybody that Chris thinks can enhance what we’ve got and wants to play for the jersey. Also want to see the continued development of guys like Olstrum and Bickerdike, who to me, look like they can become really good players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticklebricks Posted October 17, 2021 Share Posted October 17, 2021 You only get to have a wish list, if we get to share Newcastle’s new owners, or we can find a sugar daddy of our own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limmertime Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Depends on how many players we will lose..... However as it stands now (losing O'D) I think we need a Winger, Centre, Prop and Half Back as minimum. Ideally an experienced Champ Prop in the Wilkes/Dowes mould, hardworking and makes yards. IMO Fitzsimmons is better suited in the back row. If we could persuade Rhys Clarke and Joe Brown to sign, they would be good signings to start.

wonky Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Honestly don’t think we should be too disheartened whoever leaves. Don’t get me wrong Brad and Dec would be 2 of the 1st picks to have in the squad next year, but just about all of last years squad is untested at championship level and it’s a huge step up for everyone. Personally if we can get them replaced with lads who’ve had a few seasons up there then it will be an improvement in the squad IMO the futures bright,the futures blue and white Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
town4me Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 I don't think we need loads of players just better players in certain areas. IMO its all about surviving the first season and building on that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silverfox Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Maybe more experience players replacing the lads that have gone back to the amateur game . The ones that are still there most are young ambitious and got a season under there belt . I think they can step up . Apart from a few clubs in the Championship that are full time the rest are part time .So I think we can hold our own . . Can't wait to find out UTT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
townie88 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Brad was always going to move on. A player of his quality, who travels is always going to attract attention closer to home. Bene the same for years. Good luck and thank you for entertaining us this year. Said for the last few years I'd like to see curtis teare from WBH in a town shirt. Always hard to attract some of the NCL lads to try it out. But just look at how good O'brien and Henson have been! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Town blue white Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 About 14 weeks to we go again! Less if we include the ike game. How many of our squad could hack it in the championship? Just pleased we have got a great coach who will strengthen wisely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chromedome Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Have read a few comments from the Championship 'keyboard experts' and most of them are tipping Workington Town to have a struggle regarding escaping relegation next season. In some respects I do fear the step up will be difficult for Town to manage....especially seeing some recent losses to the squad...However I'm quietly confident Chris Thorman and co. will be fully aware of the teams needs, and before long we'll be reading of good recruitment......no need to press panic button as yet...UTT.

The Voodooguru Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Yeah it's easy to predict that we will be favourites to be relegated, especially after losing two good players, I fully expect we will be the bookies favourites too. But nobody knows what our finished squad will be, so it's a bit of a moot point until all the squad is in place. The bookies I think made us forth favourites last year, and If you compared our squad last year to Barrows who would have put us a percentage from a cancelled covid game from winning the title outright? I'm sure if we get the players to compete in the champ Chris will make sure the lads cause a few surprises. The race is not always to the swift nor the battle to the strong, but thats the way to bet!

Neutralfan7 Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I wouldn't take it personally, pretty much everyone who gets promoted is tipped to be relegated. Makes it even better when you prove them wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sticklebricks Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 If we can perform half as well as haven next season, I’ll be more than happy survival is the name of the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then maybe he can persuade Jimmy Maloney to give it another year before his French retirement. I'm sure Les can find the money from somewhere, then a few more young lads like Ethan Kelly etc that the old heads can give a season of learning to.
