looking forward to 2023 : Tue Aug 23, 2022 11:56 am  

Season tickets announced as £149 for adults over 30, 18-30 year old £79, U17 £65 all great value. No doubt the over 30s will moan again but we need to do something to bring back that lost generation which is noticeably missing on the terraces.

squad wise lots of movement on the resigning front with AOB, McQueen, Golding, Hewitt, Cudjoe, Innes, greenwood, Wilson and Russell all extending their current deals.

Roby signed a one year extension until the end of 2023.
I hope they keep Greenwood not too bothered about the rest.
Isn’t Ikahihfo out of contract as well.

Re: looking forward to 2023 : Tue Aug 23, 2022 4:18 pm  

Greenwood is a must keep as is Ikahihifo imo.

Re: looking forward to 2023 : Tue Aug 23, 2022 9:18 pm  

It was reported that Seb signed an extension when he came back from salford- but I can’t find anywhere any definite confirmation of how long for!
I would want to sign up Greenwood again- cogger is a difficult one as he was starting to show some good form, and we do need cover in the halves, but have to question if it’s worth a quota spot.
I’d forgotten roby had signed up. I don’t get this obsession Watson has with him- he seems to like him but won’t play him!!

Re: looking forward to 2023 : Tue Aug 23, 2022 9:43 pm  

We have 3 halves in Fages,Russell and Pryce . Naiquama has also played there so would be surprised if Cogger stays but agree he is a useful back up player.

Re: looking forward to 2023 : Tue Sep 20, 2022 11:31 am  

Marsters now confirmed. He can play centre or stand off- and will likely play there for the Cooke islands in the World Cup. - Watson seems to like his utility players!
Still no final word on wardle although it sounds like he will be back.
I would like to see another second row personally, as we currently have Jones, McQueen and hewitt but not really anyone else and no one coming through it seems.

Looking very good-
although the loss of Levi is an obvious blow- but I don’t want Watson to do anything hasty
I think with AOB and Roby, with golding as cover with the likes of fages able to play there too with others able to cover in the halves I would wait and see if anything comes available later on. Although peats served a purpose last year, and he played well I don’t think he’s what we need right now for the dynamic of the team.
Perhaps robbo should be sent out to aus on a fact finding mission- There must be some young up and coming hooker playing in the lower leagues who will qualify to play here somehow!!!!!!
Another robbo would be brilliant- bet he’s dying to pull his boots on!!!

A shame about ronan. He seemed very driven to succeed at the top level. But we do have a wealth of young talent in that area. He’s signed a permanent deal at his loan club York- there’s chance for him yet to make it in SL as he’s still young.
