Life is pretty simple: You do stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works.

Re: Makes no sense to me : Fri Sep 19, 2014 11:19 am  
I think the final mess was last year, Joey is doing the tidying up. So far he is saying the right things about his vision and the direction of the club. Unfortunately the loss of players developed locally is a fact of RL. Plenty of players at Wigan, Saints, Widnes and elsewhere that get dropped or released with fans commenting their not sure why.

I can understand the sentimentality of keeping our own youth products, but are we keeping them for their benefit or for the future development of the club?

Look at it from another perspective. You can sign eight of our own youth products for the first team squad. Of those already signed for next year which ones would you release to accommodate two others?

It's a mess in that a talented young player seems to have been lost for off the field reasons. It may be it was unavoidable but given the state of the club in recent times I fear more could have been done.

I'm happy with the retained players. I don't think we should retain players on sentiment alone. Joe has calls to make and has made one. His job hangs on getting most of them right so it won't have been done on a whim. Hopefully the new props are better. One of the new ones did raise my eyebrow but Joe knows more about the sport than me, hopefully the player concerned will make that point emphatically next season.

Quite possibly more could have been done before and since.

I'd agree at the eyebrow raising signing of Cordoba who has been out of the game for two years. It is perhaps a gamble but Joey must feel he can bring a lot to the squad. He was signed up early rather than being a last minute thought.

was watching an nfl doco. on one of their teams and they used the term bomb to describe those long high passes from quaterback to running back and i think gibson took that idea, realized you cant throw the ball forward in RL and adapted it to a "bomb" kick we have

Insane signing.........he will be one of the highest paid players and it would appear signed because he's a mate of the coach and because he has a.winning mentality
