Indeed,I was apprenhsive when I first saw him on the wing but he done a good job,I think we have not heard anything yet is because we may well have other overseas players in the mix.

He played 4 games, 2 against Championship teams and 1 against Leigh who were a spent force, doesn't seem much to base a new contract on.

A no from me, but I'm sure he was only a positive influence on the team while here.

I agree with you DAG and other positive Pomeroy posters, worth a year gelled quickly all be it with the departed Hiku and in comparison to Lineham and Russell stands up to a fair bit of scrutiny

i didn't say he did not play well. I said it doesn't seem much to base the offer of a new contract on. 2 very different things.
34 presumably quota.

Pomeroy's performance stands up well against Russell and Lineham, having said that, they had all season to do the business and didn't. I would have to say based on that I would give him another year. However, in his mind he would have been playing for a contract I would imagine, so we should have expected good performances.

Until changed, Clark is believed to be our 2nd Marquee player. If that was to change, it wouldn't be just £150k we'd have to set aside, but the remainder of his salary, if any.

Until Roberts signed we have only ever had one Marquee player: Chris Sandow. We still have one free Marquee place if we have the £175k free and (bigger if) we can attract a player of sufficient quality to merit the pay cheque.

Would be a decent option as cover or ideally competing against Lineham/Russel for a starting berth. We've let a lot of squad players go with no replacements. He's better than Blythe/Penny.

Was this actually correct about Sandow though? I seem to remember someone from the club saying that Sandow didn’t actually qualify as a marquee and that we hadn’t used our spots yet.

Maybe it was just one of those rumours that over time became a fact.
