My Skeleton Squad 2010! : Mon Jul 06, 2009 2:33 pm  

FB: Owen/Mcgoldrick
W:Owen/Dixon W: ?
C: Shenton C: ? /?
SO: Chase SH: Sherwin
P: Sargent/Boyle P:Higgins/Huby
H:Hudson/?
SR:Ferres/Jones SR: ?
LF: Westerman

Fringe: Feather, Ford, widders
Youth: Arundel, Thompson, Gledhill, Brierley

To go IMO Evans, Wrainright, Clayton, Netherton?, Faumuina, Massey?.

In my eyes, this year as been an improvement, but we need to continue moving forward. We have a very good skelton team, but need improving in parts and overall squad size needs largening. TM needs to get busy again in the transfer department.
IMO we need a CLASS winger, centre and second row. Also another good Centre, hooker, prop and utilty player to cover SH and SO, and maybe another 2-3 fringe players.
If we can do most of that, cut out our errors and install some composure into our new squad, we won't go wrong.
IMO we also need a defensive coach on board.

Thats my view anyway.
Who would like to see come? (realistickly), who deserves a place?, who doesn't

Where is Huby?

Also, I don't think we can afford to say "Owen/McGoldrick" as the FB option.

We're paying McGoldrick far too much to be considered an optional Full Back and nothing else. IMO Owen is going to become the first choice for full back, so we need to find McGoldrick a home on the field.

Owen has made fullback his own in last 3 games.

Stick mcgoldrick in centre after all thats what we bought him as

oops! sorry huby....edited

Totaly agree, thats why we need a class winger, so we can continue to play Owen a FB hes maturing well there. What about goldie in the centre?

only thing i dont agree with is getting rid of wainwright and netherton, what have they done wrong, two solid players for me!!!!!!!

TBH, I think we should be looking at real people. Skeletons are alright, but I think they'd do better in a less strenuous game. I won't suggest which one...

I can't fault there effort at all, I think we can find a more "skillfull" winger shall I say than wainwight, even tho he gives his all IMO I dont think hes the type of player if we need to keep moving forward, hes been a good servant, dont get me wrong.
With netherton, I dont know thats why i put a ? next to his name.

I woulnt mind tho if we kept them as fringe players

personally i've never really been a big fan of wainwright, but honestly he's won me over slightly since wire away and i wouldn't mind seeing him as a fringe player either.

As for Netherton i would much rather us keep hold on to him rather than go through with the supposed brad drew deal, aside from anything else netherton is 10 years younger and whether it's just my opinion or not, i think he has the ability to make us look quite dangerous in attack when he's at his best. plus, he'd probably save us apenny or two on the salary cap.
