Even better squad in 2010! : Thu Jul 23, 2009 7:32 am  

Just heard on Radio Leeds a quote from Richard Wright that the Tigers will have an even better squad next season!

Can't wait for the signings to be announced!

Am I the only one who really hopes Brad Drew isn't involved in the squad?

Wish we had him at the moment to fill in for Shifty, but not sure about next season, I think there might be a better way to fill a quota place.

I liked that the problem is the money i've heard he'll be on (pure speculation of course) and as mentioned earlier there must be a better way to use the quota spot.

I have my reservations.....maybe to do with his age.

Then all I can say is that you've not seen him play this season,he really can make things happen and will be a great signing for you,don't know about the size of his contract so won't comment on that side of things.

doing a good job is one thing but at his age how many games his he going to play!! too much of a risk for me we should look at keeping our young players instead of taking this step back if true!

Brad Drew is the best player I have seen at Trinity in the SL era. Its the way he runs the game, he just understands what is required and puts it into action. His passing is just fantastic, his speed of thought is way ahead of those around him ( which can be a problem ). Do not worry about how much money he may be getting , he should be the best payed player at either Trinity or Cas. Put simply he wins games.

What is amazing to see is the way he makes a willing forward look like a world beater. If he has a runner he has that gift of been able to pass him the ball at just the right time. When he is not on the pitch those same forwards often get the ball to early or to late and do not look very good.
