The players mentioned are on 2 year deals and although the club may have asked them to re-negotiate. If they choose not to, like some have, then they are still under contract. |

Don't get too carried away !
For what it's worth, I don't think many (if any) clubs will be stronger on paper this year as the Salary Cap and finances bite. With regards to Fax, you have arguably lost your best 5 players in Royston, Gleeson, Tamghart, Branaghan and Nash (?). These players either haven't been replaced, or have been replaced with, IMO, inferior players. Of course, the game isn't played on paper and I'm sure you'll be just as difficult to beat in 2011.
I could say pretty much the same applies to all the 'top' Championship teams. Leigh, Fev, Widnes and Barrow are all, at present, weaker than 2010 on paper.
Should still be a belting season though. |

Branno and Shad I will give you. Although when Miles was playing before his injury Shad couldn't get in the team at fullback..
Gleeson missed 3/4's of the season (think we did well without him wouldn't you say??)
Said again missed a lot of the season through injury, came back too soon was a liability.. (did we do OK without him??)
Nash was good on his day although would often throw a stupid pass on our own line after defending 3 back2back sets.. Hopefully he will be back but who knows he is in limbo at the moment..
Point being we have lost 2 quality performers this year IMO so not a total disaster... Still feel we will be lucky to make top 4 though all truth been told |

Why say stuff like this? Having confidence in the ability of your team is one thing, but to start crowing when we haven't even touched a ball in anger is, IMHO, tantamount to verbal suicide. Remember MC's "country mile" comment? Came back to bite him on the proverbial, didn't it? Please put brain into gear before approaching keyboard. |

I AGREE IN THAT WE'VE LOST OUR BEST AND MOST CONSISTANT PLAYER IN SHAD.
BUT HAVE AN EXCELLENT REPLACMENT IN MILES, AS SAID IN THE PREVIOUS POST, WHEN MILES WAS AT FULLBACK SHAD COULDNT GET A LOOK IN, NOT BAD NOW HES GONE TO A SUPER LEAGUE TEAM EH?!
AS REGARDS TO BRANNO, HE WAS A CLASS ACT AND ONE OF THE MAJOR REASONS BEHIND OUR OVERALL SUCESS, BUT IN JONES, WE HAVE A YOUNG AND UP AND COMING YOUNSTER, MORE THAN CAPABLE OF CONTROLLING A GAME WITH HIS BOOT AND VISION.
I HOPE NASH STAYS, BUT IF NOT WE HAVE COVER IN CLAYTON (SIGNED FROM SUPER LEAGUE!)
AS FOR SAID, HE WAS AN IMPACT PLAYER, AND PROB DID MORE BAD THINGS THAN GOOD, REPLACED WITH GANNON.
AND GLEESON HARDLY PLAYED LAST YEAR.
LOOKS PRETTY GOOD SQUAD, WITH GOOD REPLACMENTS FROM HERE!

Fair comment. All I know is that the 5 players I mentioned (plus Black) are the ones that, as an oppostion fan, I feared the most when we played Fax.
I'm sure Fax will make the top 4 and hopefully Barrow will again as the squad are training the house down and should be far fitter, trimmer and more expansive than they were under McCormack. We just lack squad depth at the moment. |
