i hae to agree with all Mr Youane's posts on this subject

i feel really happy with the everthing i heard tonight. I even enjoyed the insight to all the new technology that the club can use from the guy who looked a bit like Shakin Stevens

Agree with the above, Nigel Wright seems a genuine guy and gave some great insight into some of the things that go on in coaching the players.

Well done to Tyke to on his award.

Agree that it was a really informative night.

Nigel Wright was extremely enthusiastic in explaining how players are motivated and how confidence and a positive attitude complements fitness, stamina and skills.

Richard Marshall was rightly proud of his team's unbeaten performances this season and described how he blends youth with experience when working with the different players who are moved between the senior squad and his team.

Lance Du Lac, the video analyst explained how he works with the players and coaches.

Tyrone McCarthy is evidently very close to his Super League debut based on his current form. He also has his University studies to complete this year. He received his award as player of the month for March for the senior academy.

Rhys Williams explained how he came to join the club and how surprised he was to get his international call up for Wales last year.

Chris Riley gave us an update on his current form, his preference to play full back, why he was taking the kick offs last week and has aspirations for international honours. He is learning to be more vocal on the field as he directs the players into position on the pitch.

All in all a fantastic feast of information. Thanks guys for your attendance at the meeting.

its no shock that the reserves are doing so well, Richard Marshall seems to be the happiest guy in the world, he is very infexious

He's lying, WOTT said he likes playing wing.

chicken wing?

I'm sure he does enjoy playing on the wing, but I do believe that FB is his favourite. He played there for the academy aswell.

He said last night his preferred position is Fullback and he is working hard to try and make the position his......Must admit was quite funny when he nearly fell back on his chair...



How big were Nigel Wrights biceps......you girls on here should really make an effort to get to these meetings....as me n HJ Bird will happily confirm..

Your so shallow Debbie!

Absolutley. Was really interesting last night.

I understand lots of people cannot attend due to other commitments - but are there people in this forum who last night did nothing more than simply sit in front of the telly? Is there any specific reason you don't attend, or are you simply not interested?

What struck me last night was what a wide range and in depth variety of coaching staff we now have with experience from around SL and NRL and internationally. A huge difference from a couple of years ago.

I was in clinic untill 4, then the library untill 8! Could not face much after that.

One thing that was noticably tangible was both Wright and Marshall's enthusiam to coach and make the younger players the best they can be.

I think I love Nigel Wright too. No room for Lowes in our menage a trois though.

No i didn't

But yet neither of us mentioned it till this morning, haha! Amen to that, sister. Yowser! Smokin' guns.

And an all-round nice bloke. I think I might heart him too.

Skents - have we had an interview with him yet? If not, get it sorted. I could listen to him wax lyrical about our club all day long.

Would of liked to have gone but it’s a key time for me academic deadlines for Essays, portfolios, assignments etc, demanding few weeks.

and yet, a few weeks ago despite his background wright was written(guffaw) off as inexperienced and a poor choice of employee.

To be fair, that was only by one person with a peculiar view on things.

Edited.

I thought Wright made a few references to Lowes and his methods that cast him in a different light to his public persona.

For example Lowes came up with the feedback system that has been implemented and also it was Lowes that brought Lance "the talking shopping bag" Du Lac to the club.


Any chance of "the talking shopping bag" and his collegaue Emma doing a future meeting and giving us a low-down from their data-analysis of one of our rival Super League teams, Wigan maybe?

Nigel Wright is a quite a comical lad.

When he was academy coach at Wakefield he was sat in front of us at Orrell for the Wigan v Wakefield academy game.

One of the Wakefield players was having a terrible game and the Wakefield assistant wanted to bring him off.

Wright said "No, leave the lazy barsteward on the field, make him suffer"

Having not been online for a couple of days, I completely forgot about the event last night.

I've noted down when the next one is, and plan to definitely attend.

i was looking at how big his ears were, could be related to Prince Charles

Seems I might have a bit of competition in the Martin Clunes' ears lookalike competition then!!

i don't think i will be ever able to look you in the ears....oops i mean eyes again
