| Quote brearley84="brearley84"with the likes of long time servants crabtree, grix amongst others that have left at the end of this season and us finishing bottom and not with a new coach with new ideas id say we are rebuilding as a club and like said previous we have had our best chance to win the grand final in those recent years when we had a settled squad and a happy camp'"
Rebuilding- Giants speak for going backwards...... |

Oh good grief
New coach with new ideas, not just a rehash of a previous coach who also got sacked...
One of the brightest young Half backs in the comp signed to play alongside THE best half back in the comp
The best winger & centre in the comp
Seasoned players in the pack alongside young turks hungry for the game
A new fullback along the way who is genuinely exciting and maybe a new prop who is has a superb set of stats behind him and has the potential to be as good as any in the league
Have we lost some players? Sure
But let's be brutally honest, they weren't good enough to get us to old Trafford in the last 5 years, in fact how many playoff games did we win? How many cup games?
Maybe some of that old guard needed sweeping out

With all those Best's you would think the rest of the league would give in. |

It's not wrong though
We do have the best wing centre pairing and the best stand off

Thats only 3 bests, McGillivray, Cudjoe and Brough, I dont think many of the rest of the league would argue with that ..

Just looked at last season SL table at the end of the regular season and some noteworthy points
If we'd won our two games v Wakey we'd have finished 8th
We scored more and conceded less than every team below 6th apart from Salford
The results of last season show undeniable we lost because of discipline and conditioning
8th is well within our grasp, as is top 6

IF KR had a different thickness of paint on their uprights we could have been relegated.
IF we had won all our games we would have been treble winners.

I'm with you Code.
We had tough year last year starting with Robbo / Ferres and onto injuries.
Confidence dipped never to return.
Despite that we were still competitive in most games.
New conditioner, full pre-season for Derek, Tom Symonds, Ryan Brierley and the Bradford 3 are the positives. Always a fan of Dale Ferguson so I've no doubts there. Paul Clough always solid when I saw him at Saints. Lee Gaskell I can't really comment on as I've not seen him play that much.
If we can get Wakeman and Mamo over the line we should be good to go.
As always it's all about moving forward more than the oppo.
Time will tell but my glass is half full ATM. |
