I've brought this up before - I'd like us to get Mark Aston on board.

He could learn the SL ropes under Terry for a couple of years and then be given a go (a bit like Hull did with Agar - only hopefully with more success!).

Aston has done a remarkable job with Sheffield and I think that his motivational skills and drive could also have an immediate impact as well as a long-term one.

Well if that means us challenging for a play-off position despite having key players missing, then I'm all for the same. Also think you're on the wrong board, this is your spiritual home.

Already there I just can't honestly see why people rate Matterson as a coach, and I've said that for years not just since the bad run of form.

I doubt Mark Aston would ever leave Sheffield Eagles ever again.

Maybe because after the relegation we are improving season on season, he is not afraid to put the younger players in, has made some astute signings and most importantly he is not Paul Cullen

There are better coaches out there and quite a few a lot worse, let us have some stability at the club and see where we are at the next round of franchises.

Good news.. I'm happy Terry's staying on board.

I'd be more than happy to run two opposing arguments in the next fanzine if someone wants to give me 2/3 of a page of A4 on why they think it's a bad move.

Thats great news now the players can look forward to more time in the pubs.

Great news, as has been mentioned we've improved each year since our relegation.
Did people really expect us to win silverware one year after our promotion?

Is that an assumption or do you know for sure?

Would be a shame if you are right.
