We’ll still be a work in progress next year, especially considering how many could potentially be leaving the year after.

As long as we’ve got a team of triers we can get behind and feel good about supporting the team, win or lose, I’ll be happy with that for now.

I agree, League Express had us down for 5th, don't see that myself, improvements in performance and league position certainly and push for the play offs, season after is the one.

Cup run would be nice.

If the spine remains reasonably clear of injuries, 5th a decent prediction. IMO.

Think it’s hard to gauge next season due to not only such a change in our spine/pivots and no longer having Connor but also the Tony Smith and coaching set up factor. The pace/quickness we have in the spine with Hoy, Clifford, Truman, Dwyer/Lovodua is something we’ve not had for as long as I can remember.
After so many false dawns my feet are still firmly on the ground and not expecting to be world beaters but the potential to be up there in amongst things is more than something to look forward too.

Just a reminder that Tony Smith is on Radio Humberside this evening at 6pm.

Players will be working with ball in hand in every training session.

Re: Letter from Tony, new beginnings. : Mon Oct 31, 2022 6:26 pm  

Looking to improve the defence and resilience. Wants players to take risks.

Wants the club to connect more with the supporters and the wider community.

Re: Letter from Tony, new beginnings. : Mon Oct 31, 2022 6:29 pm  

Wants players to come off the pitch whatever the result and be able to look each other in the eye.

Has mentioned a few times about wanting unity amongst the players.

Wouldn't confirm any coaching appoinments but said they involved people he's worked with in the past.

Big hint that Stanley Gene will be joining the club.

Mentioned people he’d worked with in the past didn’t he so wonder if Jason Davidson is one of them?
