I've brought this up before - I'd like us to get Mark Aston on board.

He could learn the SL ropes under Terry for a couple of years and then be given a go (a bit like Hull did with Agar - only hopefully with more success!).

Aston has done a remarkable job with Sheffield and I think that his motivational skills and drive could also have an immediate impact as well as a long-term one.

Well if that means us challenging for a play-off position despite having key players missing, then I'm all for the same. Also think you're on the wrong board, [url=http://www.casforum.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=15628&start=0this is your spiritual home.[/url

Already there



I just can't honestly see why people rate Matterson as a coach, and I've said that for years not just since the bad run of form.

I doubt Mark Aston would ever leave Sheffield Eagles ever again.

Maybe because after the relegation we are improving season on season, he is not afraid to put the younger players in, has made some astute signings and most importantly he is not Paul Cullen



There are better coaches out there and quite a few a lot worse, let us have some stability at the club and see where we are at the next round of franchises.

Good news.. I'm happy Terry's staying on board.

I'd be more than happy to run two opposing arguments in the next fanzine if someone wants to give me 2/3 of a page of A4 on why they think it's a bad move.

Thats great news now the players can look forward to more time in the pubs.

Great news, as has been mentioned we've improved each year since our relegation.
Did people really expect us to win silverware one year after our promotion?

Is that an assumption or do you know for sure?

Would be a shame if you are right.

He's built that club up and I doubt he'd walk away from it.

Fair point.

The lure of Super League however ...

I would think his heart is in the Eagles far too much to be honest.

im really glad you said some because some have been dross

But the likes of sargent, chase, sherwin etc have been great players and i've been supriseed at how well netherton, feather, evans, jones and widders have done.

How on earth can you use the word great for Shifty? Mike Ford-Great, Brad Davis-Great, Sherwin-OK at best



Sarg has been the best signing of the Matterson era, the lad is class

The vast majority haven't though.

In Sarge and Nutley, there are two players whose quality has overshadowed the disappointment of others

Perhaps because he is an excellent scrum half who sets up a great deal of tries and organises us around the field, ie exactley what he was supposed to do, he was playing with a busted ankle most of last year and he still came third in the try assists charts.

we fell across sarge as his last option he was depserate man and we were the only ones to take a gamble on him.

So we got Sarge by chance? Give your head a shake mate

sargent is very good 100%er chase shows mega promise and could be a great player for the club Sherwin was below par last season and through injury i doubt we will ever see the best of him. neatherton is learning feather not too sure the size of the lad is immense his impact at time is small, evans jones two good signings widders are you on drugs the bloke was nearly sent home because his fitness levels were well below par he is grossly overweight now and is a bit part player in the team, will always be a injury prone porker.

And no try to his name

His kicking game has lost us as many matches as its won


I have no doubt his injuries have affected his indifferent performances but I can't help thinking that for the big money I assume he's on we could pop over and sign Myler from Salford and have change---food for thought

1. Scored at Celtic earlier this year.

Think we may have some competition from clubs that have a significantly higher budget and are more attractive in terms of winning things.

No not on drugs when widders has been playing he hasnt put a foot wrong, tackled well and drove the ball in, he may look tubby (wish is why some people have such a problem with him and doesnt pay attention to what he does well) but he has a suprising turn of speed and without him we wouldnt have won the bradford game.
