Wernt they your wingers the year you went down, I'm not saying they were bad players but having two quota wingers when you needed quality players in other positions is a waste IMO.

You had two quota wingers well three really at one point

We did, but we had good english players like Watts, Houghton, Connor Taylor, Shaul and Sneyd in pivotal positions, so we could get away with it. It worked for us in 2016/2017

Still not a fan, I really hope we replace Talanoa with a English player and use his quota place on a forward, there are few decent English wingers like Burgess, Brsicoe (If he can find his form) and Swift out there.

It did, and it just goes to show there's no single formula for success.

Even the mobile pack approach could work with the right players and tactics.

I read a short article about the enduring success of the Patriots in the NFL the other day and the theme was that when everyone else zigged, they zagged. They went small and fast, were imitated and then switched it around to overpower opponents.

So are we waiting for everyone to go with a mobile pack and then sign 6 19st players and crush everybody sounds like a plan

Fingers crossed.

Tbf, when some SL teams were enjoying success zigging for big aggressive players, we zagged by going small and gentle. There's no one formula for failure either.

That Danny Tickle tackle is last year's last derby meant so much because it was like a tiny oasis in a desert.

Every player we sign is gash until sign for the other lot and become instant Wally Lewis.
