Easiest thing in the world is to support a winning team. It's now when fans are needed.

Weve a lot of fans who have only known success and cant take losing.

Did anyone see that idiot last night walking over to Saints fans through barrier tape looking for a fight? What a prick!!! But at least he turned up I suppose.

People who think we would be missed if we went down cos of our crowds are kidding themselves. Our away support is pathetic and has been all season.

Why hasn’t a statement of intent been released? Like what our plans are, recruitment etc, because relegation is huge possibility now and like it has been said we as a huge club cannot afford that, it would cripple us and it would take decades to recover. Our management is damn right terrible as well as most of our players.

Phil Caplan is tweeting telling us to expect activity in the transfer market this weekend.

No need to panic guys.....I’ve been told from a reliable source within the clubs who our new HB is going to be. He will be in place for the Cas away game.

It’s:









































Ablett on his return from injury....cannot be any worse than Sutcliffe

I’ll get my coat

You expect club to announce its recruitment plans?

When club has things to announce it will.

I firmly believe Sinfield would still be a better option than Myler or Sutcliffe. If we break the role down into specific areas and rate the 3 of them;
Organising/game management - Sinfield is the best of the 3 by a million miles
Passing - Sinfield is the best of the 3
Long kicking - Sinfield is the best of the 3
Short kicking - Sinfield is the best of the 3
Leadership - Sinfield is the best of the 3
Defence - Sinfield is the best of the 3, though lack of pace/mobility would hamper him
Taking on the line - Sutcliffe the best, but hardly does it and isn't exactly dangerous, Myler has zero threat, Sinfields pace and age would hamper him
Pace - Sinfield is probably the worst, but as above, the other 2 aren't running it anyway

We'd be a better team with Sinfield playing, even at his age and pace

Agreed, this is why I think he should return, if the rumoured half back transfer doesn’t come off.

You've signed Rob Lui from us. He's been great for us but imt not too sure of he's the sort of hot and cold player that you need. I'm not pulling him down because he's leaving us he's been class for us at times but Hastings was definitely the sort of one you need.

Re: Desperate times desperate measures : Sat Jun 22, 2019 3:37 pm  

Thing is as much as we’d like Hastings there’s not much we can do if he doesn’t want to come so if he doesn’t were not left with many options for an immediate signing
