By far the most sensible posts on this thread have come from mystic eddie. - copyright Ewwenorfolk 09.04.2013

Aye, and Eddie is hinting at it too. And, as we all know:

Steve Ferres. The most pointless thing at Odsal since Mr S Duffy esquire.

Dear Steve

You signed Uaisele.

You sent him on a 1 month loan to Dewsbury, so he's still our man. This is what he thinks of the Bulls:

But Uaisele is looking to stay with Glenn Morrison’s side beyond that initial period, saying: “At the moment I'm looking at being with Dewsbury long term.


What do you make of that?

Why did you sign him, and does it worry you that he sees the mighty Dewsbury as a far better bet than us, so much so that he is prepared to publicly announce it while under contract and being paid handsomely by you?

It suggests to me that Etu is looking, fairly realistically, to his future.

To be fair, I remember him with Sheffield a couple of years back and he was regarded as one of the best finishers in the division. He's only shown glimpses of that at Odsal it has to be said, though a chance to get a settled run for a few games might have helped, but it was difficult/impossible to be fair to everyone with such a large, some might say bloated, squad of players, all wanting their chance. I think that last fact is far more relevant to mistakes made by the club, than anything Uaisele has said, to be honest.

Waiting for an announcement...

Re: Where do we go from here? Dewsbury Away. : Fri Apr 08, 2016 10:27 am  
If SF truly believes he's assembled a full time squad over 18 months or so that goes to Dewsbury (17 fit players) as underdogs then thats a damning assessment on the squad he's produced and Lowes is coaching . We might well actually be underdogs on the form and performances both teams have shown recently but we really shouldn't be at this stage of our attempt to get back into SL.

Its also an interesting turn of phrase from Russ about no new signings this week, implication of a signing in process maybe?? or am I just clutching at straws?

Being out of the cup so early could do us some good. Just get through this game, don't need to be convincing just get the win. Then we have a bit of a break before our next match which hopefully might give us chance to get Sidlow, Kavanagh and Williams back from injury.
Who knows, there might also be time during that break to find a scrum half, even if it's only a loan deal.

"Underdogs" Not really a confidence booster, can't believe I'm reading a damage limitation statement from the mighty Bulls.

Or if we lose again, time to interview and have a new coach in place.

I think the last time we were 'mighty' was back in 2005 :lol:

TBH I wondered if Ferres had been misquoted. If not it's a bizarre statement and something critics will rightly leap upon.

Underdogs at Dewsbury! We've come a long way in the past few years!
