Thunder are unconvincing Salop, I got shot down for saying their televised game v Widnes was totally bland, people reacted with both defences were very good, but those defences had nothing to defend against, notcat all surprised that Sheffield beat them easy last night, a full time team should be doing much better than they are. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without doubt we'll be disappointed with how the last couple of games have gone and agree we are unconvincing at the moment. Hopefully we might see some players come back to fitness. The word from the club is patience which I get. By being full time our academy players can see a pathway to making a career out of rugby league and also be in a professional environment. Given we've lost three players we signed who were key signings an emphasis on the academy is important for the future of the club. It is tough at the moment but if we can see an improvement on last season at the end of the season I'll take that. We are at the start of a journey and there will be bumps along the way. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No disrespect and please don't take this the wrong way, but I think you are very fortunate as a club to be able to build from within whilst other clubs have been refused the opportunity to do so, if Newcastle are allowed an Academy what is it that makes them so special? All the clubs are playing the same game aren't they and they should be allowed to reap the same rewards. I am not singling out Newcastle with this view, whoever the club if they wish to run an academy they should be allowed to do so. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ivans82 Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Regardless what anyone thinks of Newcastle , most Teams in the Championship look on with envy at a wing partnership of Welham and Jones-Bishop and halves like Farrell and Thackeray , when they click the opposition whoever they are need to be on their toes .

Completely agree, if any team wants to run an academy team they should be allowed to do so. I'm guessing one thing might be is not sure how the finances work but we can afford to do it but could be wrong on that as not sure how much if any funding there is. But for the game to grow more academies make sense as we could be missing out on talent. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have to be beating Batley at home to have chance to stay in playoff race. Can't see a Widnes win tbh. Most of the team sat in the stand.

Barley Mow Posted April 24, 2022 Share Posted April 24, 2022 Sounds like a great finish at Dewsbury. Workington converted a late try to pull it level having been 18-6 down, then Dewsbury win it with a drop goal in the last minute 19-18. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
