I wish John Duffy had been on the coaching staff of Australia or Tonga. Are we getting the best players available or are we getting all of JD's mates? I'm not saying they are poor players, on the contrary, but has JD got tartan goggles on. Just an observation about our recruitment.
JD is going for a squad that he knows and trusts. The players know how he works and he knows how to get the best out of these players. The beauty of building a squad like this is that they will gel quickly and hit the ground running. Remember when we built a squad in 2017? On paper they would compete in Super League never mind get us back into SL. However, hardly any of them had ever played together and/or been coached by the coaching team. We all know what happened next! JD has built the nucleus of a solid squad that will get enhanced in the next few weeks with 3 or 4 quality signings that will make the difference in this league. Have patience, have faith, the Leythers are going to be the team to beat!
