Our sqaud is fine they just need a kick up the back side.
And more fans behind them. When we embarrassed the Saints (what a day!!!)
it was a club record attendance of 6527 or something like that. Same with Hull FC.

I think the crusaders are here to stay, they get poor crowds as it's their first year and lose every week, this will all change given time. Eventually they'll be a strong side when the welsh kids come through, there is lots of natural talent down there.

Well, at least you will have [isomething[/i to tell your grandchildren.




We just did that to Gateshead Thunder as well. Helped them achieve a club record attendance. We're good, we are.



I'm not sure your squad is fine, to be honest. You may need some younger blokes in there next season. However, you're right in that they definitely do need a kick up the backside. They have been too close to winning and too competitive at the outset of the season not to be capable of more than they are showing at present. They have probably lost motivation due to their inability to win at home, which is crucial and should be Dixon's sole aim just now IMO. He needs to get them winning at home so that fans will creep out of the woodwork again.

But it may be that you will have to get Smith back in action before that happens as he seems to have a positive effect on the team, would I be right? Damn shame he's been so injured. Although he broke his arm last season, he didn't seem so injury prone at Saints. Must be that he's taking bigger hits or his tackling technique isn't quite right yet.

I think we need to keep the faith, both fans and players alike. Matty Smith on the field means the Crusaders are a better team all round.
