Drinkwater's pretty average but has at least added a bit of organisation to the french but they have massively underperformed this year with the players they have. Should be comfortably top 8. Interesting that the rovers fans didn't want macbanana but his side sit above rovers as do former coach chris chester's wakefield

They have better squads and macbanana inherited most of it but chester has built much of that wakey squad. His recruitment seems to have been much better than peacock's over the last couple of years

Chester has done well at Wakefield - he seems a decent bloke, so i’m pleased for him.

Our hope has to be that Sheens offers a counter balance to some of Peacock’s more unworldly ideas. Or maybe Peacock has learned from experience, and come back with some better plans - just as Chester seems to have at Wakefield. It’s possible!

Tbf, it’s narrow margins. Maybe if we’d scraped through 2016, we’d have started to see the first fruits of the infamous 5 year plan by now. My gut feeling is that it was misconceived anyway, but perhaps my judgement is clouded by what happened.

Radford looked to be on shaky ground for a bit, and I think he did make a little bit of a mess of his first season in charge. He survived and has done brilliantly since - but if Pearson had been a little less patient, Radford could have been remembered very differently.

All ifs, buts and maybes. We're obviously very happy with the way things have turned out. (Well most of us are!!)

Cas win sees us 4 points adrift of the 4. Not secure in the 8 yet, but having said that Gareth Westmorland has devoted a lot of column inches this week to Rovers making the 8 when they win all their remaining games so who knows?

Re: Middle 8s v2.0 : Fri Jun 22, 2018 9:08 pm  
Need to win all 4 games to be in the top 4 at the split, but as long as we are within 2/4 points of the top 4 at the split, we still have a chance, the extra away game won't help though
