We sign a deal with a lower league club in this case North Wales Crusaders to allow some of our overage academy players or players returning from injury to get some game time.

Ah right thanks

Depending on who you speak to, it's quite contentious.

The clubs voted to get rid of our reserve competition a few years ago, and so to allow players too old for the 19s (is it?) teams are allowed to pass young players off on a dual registration set up to lower league clubs, as opposed to say a usual loan arrangement, well in that instance we're not allowed the player back for a month, so if injuries hit the day after we loan someone out, we're in the poop for 4 weeks.

A sticky why, are you blaming that Sam-Arvy bloke? Come to think of it everything was great until he turned up from mid wales poking his nose in.

Only joking Sam, stick with it mate it's all part of the 'fun' and things should improve.

What Worried me on Monday was with that huge Coaching set up we have, the player Welfare manager was on the pitch delivering instructions.................

I know Fitzpatrick is an ex pro player but I was less than Impressed When I saw him out there, in the past we have had Nigel Wright and Richard Marshall delivering Tony Smiths Messages (both assitant coaches). Christ knows what we get when Tony Smith Tells Richard Agar to tell Karl Fitzpatrick to tell Ben Currie To defend better....

probably end up taking orders for three Lamb Bunas two Jalfrazi's and a Mulligatawny Soup.....

Looking at the players who are due to expire. Deals for Penny have got to be sorted surely

Really??..... Look, I have genuine admiration for the way the lad has fought his way back into the higher echelons of the sport, but for me it is a huge indicator of how far we have declined in the last 3 or 4 years, rather than Kevin somehow improving dramatically.

He has definitely been one of our brighter lights so far, but I think that actually shows how out of form many of our players are.

Keep him in the side for now, but I wouldn't be in a rush throwing new contracts about yet.

The best thing about that list is the way it illuminates how we will soon be derailing Asotasi's Gravy train.

I stand by it. I think KP is worth at least another year or 2. Philbin is one of the players out of contract i think we should be looking at extending

Re: 2015 Squad : Wed Apr 08, 2015 11:55 am  

Joe Philbin is a must, I have seen nothing in Penny's form to suggest we let him go anywhere.
