Unless Shaul does leave to Wakey, I don't really see where Walker would fit for us.

I like him as a player but surely you cant be that unlucky with injuries.
Need to be sensible here and give Walker a miss

Smith may well be a donkey motivator, work harder, run faster, stick and carrot I believe.

in total agreement that changes need to be made, but at the moment TS has his hands tied, a huge chunk of the squad OOC come end of the 2023 season, why would a side pay a fee for underperforming players when they could wait a few months and pick them up on a free. Unfortunately it looks like next season will be a case of doing the best with what we have, then look to improve going forwards.

I’m still expecting at least one in, one out before the start of the season.
As previously mentioned, there’s probably lots going on behind the scenes.

Its certainly to be hoped so because with the exception of Dan Tomlinson for days and days regurgitating stuff from our new coaches first interview we have as usual heard absolutely nothing at all from the Club, no doubt that's something that will change once the season ticket release date looms

Wouldn’t have thought it will be too much longer before we hear something with regards to passes and the new shirt.
I know the photo shoot for the new shirt has already taken place.

Isn't that a good thing - it's called marketing.
