All this "poor Steve Price" malarkey is really dunking my biscuit.

I would [ihope[/i that Price did his homework before applying for and accepting the job. You know, speak to former players, watch footage of last year, study the squad etc. Just basics if you're gonna move across the planet. If you want to familiarise yourself with Stockton Heath watering holes so you know where to find the team, fine, but look at the raw materials available first.

Regardless of whether he underestimated the size of the job. thought English RL was a walk in the park, didn't bother or was blinded by vanity - his fault.

I said similar to this, if it was me, i would have watched EVERY game from last year, and then EVERY game from the year before to see the contrast from a 'gf contending side' to that pile of e that was walking on the field in 2017.

The club could have just reheated a press released from this time exactly 12 months ago.

"Not far away"

"a good week in training"

" huge belief in this playing group"

"need to be more disciplined, have a higher completion rate"

That would take a solid 3 1/2 days without sleep and toilet breaks.

Think I’ll re read Jude the Obscure for a little light relief.

Well I guess it's certainly one of [iLife's Little Ironies[/i that we in need of [iDesperate Remedies[/i. Presently our pack is like [iA Group of Noble Dames[/i with our new signings like [iThe Three Strangers[/i.

did you say strangers or the three stooges.
