i hae to agree with all Mr Youane's posts on this subject

i feel really happy with the everthing i heard tonight. I even enjoyed the insight to all the new technology that the club can use from the guy who looked a bit like Shakin Stevens

Agree with the above, Nigel Wright seems a genuine guy and gave some great insight into some of the things that go on in coaching the players.

Well done to Tyke to on his award.

Agree that it was a really informative night.

Nigel Wright was extremely enthusiastic in explaining how players are motivated and how confidence and a positive attitude complements fitness, stamina and skills.

Richard Marshall was rightly proud of his team's unbeaten performances this season and described how he blends youth with experience when working with the different players who are moved between the senior squad and his team.

Lance Du Lac, the video analyst explained how he works with the players and coaches.

Tyrone McCarthy is evidently very close to his Super League debut based on his current form. He also has his University studies to complete this year. He received his award as player of the month for March for the senior academy.

Rhys Williams explained how he came to join the club and how surprised he was to get his international call up for Wales last year.

Chris Riley gave us an update on his current form, his preference to play full back, why he was taking the kick offs last week and has aspirations for international honours. He is learning to be more vocal on the field as he directs the players into position on the pitch.

All in all a fantastic feast of information. Thanks guys for your attendance at the meeting.

I'm sure he does enjoy playing on the wing, but I do believe that FB is his favourite. He played there for the academy aswell.

He said last night his preferred position is Fullback and he is working hard to try and make the position his......Must admit was quite funny when he nearly fell back on his chair...

Really informative night and my favourite Squadbuilder meeting for some time.

Thanks to the players and coaching staff for making the effort to attend and to the "committee" for continuing to organise these events.

I really don't understand why more people don't attend. Tonight was a mine of information for everybody from the casual fan to coaches of amatuer and youth teams.

Absolutley. Was really interesting last night.

I understand lots of people cannot attend due to other commitments - but are there people in this forum who last night did nothing more than simply sit in front of the telly? Is there any specific reason you don't attend, or are you simply not interested?
