An enjoyable watch and certainly makes me excited for next year.

Thought he had a couple of digs at Rovers, around the CEO/Owner/Coach all singing off the same song sheet.

Annoying thought he always come across well when he was at Rovers.

Did you notice on that YouTube video you posted that he said he was a bit reluctant to accept the post at Rovers?

Seems as though he didn’t have any doubts about this job however and can’t wait to get started

Obviously takes a lot of store from his brother and his time at the FC and if he is as good as him and finally leaves us loved as much as Brian was then that'll do for me. Great memories of the boulevard the atmosphere and Smithy's crows nest too. What great times they were. Bring it on!!

Said everything we wanted to hear ,Sounds like it will be a totally different club next season in attitude and style . Hopefully the players buy into it .

Adam Pearson very clear about how recruitment will take place this Autumn
"We would need to trade and that would be dependent on other clubs being interested in our players and us being interested in a release. At this moment in time we do sit at the cap. We have one quota spot which gives us some flexibility but we would still need to trade."

The bit in bold is the main concern in that currently we are at the cap and without any real size in currently weak looking 2nd row. So far all the right noises coming from the club and coach and certainly different ones from previous off seasons.

Hard to see how we are at the cap, unless he means the cap he has set.

Bowden, Gale, Reynolds, Ma'u, JJ can't be on the same as Hoy, Sutcliffe, Dwyer and Trueman.

Longstaff won't be on too much either.

Shaul and possible Griffin going will give us some wiggle room hopefully, I don't expect big changes, but it would be a good to bring in Longstaff and another backrower.
