I’ve had to adjust my thinking on signings. Now we’ve got a coach who can quite evidently improve players he works with.
Therefore our signings don’t have to be perfect, just got enough about them that TS can work on them.

Would tend to agree, whilst for most of us Bentley isn't on the list of decent potential signings thats probably down to the fact he tends to be a penalty machine, hot head and has questionable behaviour at times.

He does possess some talent but its no good if he's getting sat for 10 mins in a game or missing a few due to bans that could/should be avoided for unnecessary stuff he does at times.

If TS does take him on board then I'm sure he does it not only because he thinks he can get the best out of him but that as a player he will improve the team/squad.


Its a physical,highly charged, emotional game and as the old saying goes a leopard cant change its spots.
I doubt Smith would be interested in this type of player.
If he did may as well give him as part of his contract a seat pass for the west stand.
I know Griffin has been a plonker but rather then make desperate signings given his form and workrate in the second row i would rather we gave Griffin a 1 year extension

And that is why I think Ashworth could be a very good signing.

Provided he is prepared to work hard and improve his fitness I think he has enough basic skills to become a very good player?

Have you had a telling off? :lol:

On the Bentley subject. He looks to have lost his way at Leeds, he maybe just needs a fresh start. He was very good for Saints.

I see your point re a leopard doesn’t change his spots so to speak and that could well be the case with Bentley. Though if any current SL coach can get the best from Bentley you’d have to say it would be TS.

I agree that between Bentley and Griffin I’d rather give Griffin a new deal as I’m sure he’ll be unlikely to do the same again.

Bentley just a rumour ATM. But am sure Smith has plenty of irons in the fire so to speak

just for the record no i havnt but it wouldnt surprise me if one or two have as he was quite specific on some points.
If not they know who they are.
There is now a lull but sadly if it continues and at some point in the future i think it will because there is a clique on here who will not accept any argument or opion of others when it doesnt suit their agenda, which is probably why several people seem to have left the forum and we see very few new members.

On the Bentley subject i hope he gets a fresh start as he is leaving Leeds but just not at Hull FC
