Spoke to a current player & Connor Wynne in Sauna the other day.
Wynne said he turned up to preseason last year a bit over weight and smith told him he couldn’t train with the team and had to find a new team. Said he made a few mistake but wasn’t given chance to redeem himself. Cas offering him a deal for next year but he’s not 100% sure.
Players hated TS and said he sacked Ellis for not being detailed enough, yet he was the most detailed coach and was massive on the wrestle in D. Both said smith dismantled and killed the club. Said none of them wanted Tex to go but smith had already burnt those bridges. Apparently it’s true he had favourites.
Also hate Davidson and referred to him as the fat bloke. Also seen him around TF and spends more time chatting then pushing players so I imagine he’ll be out door.
They both aren’t 100% sure it’s happening but they believe Jack brown will be a robin next season.
Also don’t know why Balmforth aren’t playing his exact words were “he trains hard and is a really good kid as well”. Then seemed to imply Ellis being back will be good for him. Think he’s a fan & will help his D.
Wacokecoke left because hull offered him a new deal on reduced terms. Apparently his attitude for training isn’t great yet so still needs to grow up. Always late, can straight from bed etc.
Another gym member said Walker told him he was hating at hull before the Hudds game. Wants to go back to Leeds but doesn’t think they’ll have him. Hopefully Grix can turn that around.
Big raps to Kai Armstrong as well, some player and spent a lot of time in gym recently. Definitely needs to fill out before he makes a first team impact.
think Souths fans are in for a surprise with Dodd too
