He did a poor job but honestly think you'd have to be a miracle worker to get much out of the players, finances and facilities we had last year.

Main thing in my judgement was who signed the players was it Smith or Clark? Or both in combo? Whoever it was they did a good job finding Ese Ese then lost use of their eyesight for the rest.

But anyway that's the past, it's expensive spot on recruitment from now on

I disagree, I never saw Connor as either of those, he was a bit slow for full back and got frustrated, but I don't think you could fault his effort.

His last season he basically stopped us from moe or less stopped us from having a season like last year, won us game on his own.

I've also heard he is a great kid off the filed and liked by teammates.

We will have to disagree, he did nothing at Huddersfield after he left us and is now in last chance saloon at Leeds in terms of big contracts.

Agree on the last chance saloon.
He has undoubted talent but he needs to mature on the pitch.
That try he gave away in the
giants v saints match just summed him up, too busy moaning at the ref.
He had years at fc., it’s time to move on.
Wish him well at Leeds but can see it going ti*s up.

Chan going to Salford is an interesting move on a few levels.

Might suggest that the Salford ‘Trading’ of players has commenced…..

Only mentioned quota in the article.

The Salford situation is making a mockery of the sport.

Agree, I’d love us to make a big play but I don’t think we will, we’d only be in a strong position if we could offer him a multi year deal and that depends on who we’ve got our eye on for our likely only quota place next season.

Also agree with Salford not selling, I think they’ve got something sorted and don’t think they’ll be a ‘fire sale’ as predicted, but it will depend on if the new owners are willing to run at a loss for a couple of years or want to steady the ship straight away. It was always said that they’d prefer to sell the overseas players hence why they pushed for quota dispensation and have rejected bids for Sneyd and Cross. I reckon eventually they’ll try and move on one of the big earners in Marsters or Macdonald like they did with Croft last year but keep the bulk of what’s a good squad together.

Think in regards to Mylers comment he was referring to Smith from when he was coached by him. Don't think it was a coincidence in timings that Smith was sacked and Myler came in.

Smith in the most part did well early on but is certainly now one of those coaches that has let the game pass them by as its evolved. You have to wonder how much he really was committed to the cause given the level of training the players did as financial aspect aside players should have still trained under a head coach full time not just a few hours a day.

At the end of the day what is clear is that with the new owners in Thirkill & Hood backed by RM & JC they are all very much in it for the long hall and on the same page. What was also telling from some of RM's comments are the club is now staffed with good people in the relevant areas and he's just a conduit is getting the best out of all the people, not running every dept himself, which is how it should be.
It does genuinely seem as though the attitude and atmosphere with the club as whole has also lifted and maybe the lack of this in previous years was part of what was often referred to as a cancer in the club.

I like, Wilf certainly believe the club and all involved have earned some time and patience from us all, even if we don't get off to the most positive of starts they at least deserve our support and the time for the club to adapt to the raft of change that as swept through.

Said it before but I don't think I've looked forward to a season more since we signed Gaz or the 2017 season after coming so close in 2016 & the CC win, I just hope we finally see the breakthrough in terms of improvement and the structures in place.
