But it's all very well having a better SH if he plays but poor Dyksey sadly couldn't. So given that Thorman will start every match hopefully with Horne I'd say we are, on balance, potentially better off in the halves than last year given last year's injuries there, particularly as it frees up Berrigan to play consistently at hooker. (Of course, if Dykes and Horne had played every match with Berro at hooker than who knows where we'd have been last year?)

I've already stated Carvell is a loss - yes you're right a huge one - but Crocker is here, Kingy is fit (played great last year until injured), Whiting (most exciting and underrated player IMO) is back, and we've yet to judge Maloney.

Plus who knows yet who Father Christmas forgot to leave and whose arrival may be imminent?

So lots to be positive about, so I'll stay that way until there's a need to be otherwise.


Can't comment on the rest of the season (well, not without looking into it), but that generally wasnt the case against rovers! :?

Our second row is not the problem.


OOOPs, read backline as backROW hence the justification :oops:

Still think Santa may deposit the answer though :wink:

Optimism is a great thing to have, even better if it's blind but I just cannot be positive about the coming season. Some people are talking as if our squad last year was full of quality and capable of greatness before the injuries hit. It wasn't ! It was a squad that still lacked quality in crucial areas and still had it's inadequacies that had not been addressed season after season.

Had we gone through the season with average injuries, IMO we would have finished around 6th or 7th and many of the pundits had us exactly there in the pre-season build up.

Since then we have some key players back like Horne and Whiting, fit and raring to go (hopefully) but we still lack real quality in crucial areas and our squad just doesn't match up when compared to the better squads in SL.

Last season we lacked a big no-nonsense prop, we still haven't got one and now we've lost our best one to add to that.

Last season we had serious doubts about our halfbacks (especially SH) and serious worries about the prospect of Tommmy Lee finding his way back into the halves. Nothing has changed there.

Last season we lacked pace and strike in the backline and although IMO Calderwood is a good signing, we still have a very worring gap in the centre spot inside him.

Crocker will hopefully turn out to be a fantastic signing but for me, the backrow wasn't really an area that needed much attention. In an ideal world, I would have liked to see Radford somehow encouraged to go elsewhere and replaced with a second rower more in the Lee Gilmour mould.

In general our squad doesn't look any stronger to me but I think we should have a stronger starting 17 most weeks and therefore should finish a little higher up the table. Before any aspirations of top two though, I think we need to see maybe 5 or 6 players out and 4 or 5 coming the other way.






THANK YOU Mr. PEARSON, FOR RIDDING US OF FCKWIT FUBAR, CEO TOOL AND THE STINKING UNCLE KATH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY DON'T THE DOBBINS PLAY IN GREEN SHIRT, GREEN SHORTS AND GREEN SOCKS IN ORDER TO EXPRESS THEIR INFINITE ENVY OF EVERYTHING BLACK AND WHITE??
