Quote ="Cheshire Tiger"Fantastic season. 8 lads who were with us in NL1 played last night and even though we over played and dropped too much ball as a result the effort was there.
Look at the facts, TM nearly kept us up with minimal prep, got us up, consolidated and took longer term views and we have just finished above halfway, in the play offs and competing. I just dont understand the TM bashers.
The best thing is that there is every sign of more improvement. We are above Bradford, Warrington, Hull and Quins.
A brilliant season, well done. Just a shame we havent yet got the new stadium. Now would be the perfect time to move into it, but hey ho.'"
Fully agree with this really. Can't understand why anyone would knock TM as that would just show a complete lack of understanding IMO.
I'm just glad that we are enjoying a good period of stability (in terms of coach and players) as well as ongoing development. We have a good coach, a good core of young players and we are building on that core each year. Our young players are becoming top class players and we are constantly adding new exciting young players while also bringing in the odd tallented and experienced over seas player where required.
Signings like Widders, Sarge, Sherwin (when fit and on form), Hudson (when fit) and Chase have been superb and youngsters like Westerman, Owen and Boyle are really developing well into class Superleague players. We also have the last generation of youngsters (the likes of Shenton & Huby) who really are now superb SL quality players.
If we can build further, add a few more quality players and some more tallented youngsters to the squad, then along with the experience the players have gained during this great year we should improve further next year.
Not sure what's happened to Goldie though as sadly he is more a liability than anything else these days. His passing has been terrible and everytime he gets the ball I just cross everything and hope that we can somehow keep possession!
