A few of the signings talked about would improve us next year.
On paper.
Obviously we need to be sure we've got the right coach to get the best out of them.
Smith or whoever.

We should not be letting O'Connor go to Hull imo.
Has real utility value at 9 and back row.
But we are lightweight in the back row and if we bring in a big athletic replacement then fair enough.
But would still leave us short at 9.

Really?.
Eurgth. He's not done much wrong for a young un. Sure he's no Senior but not many are.
He's steady and reliable, just not what we need atm.

Roberts has made more errors than Miller but doesn't offer anything like as much in attack. I think if he was the right kind of player for a club of our ambitious we would have seen it now. I like his effort but if we're going to be ruthless we need better than this.

After the Premier league darts last night they had a program on after called "away from the oche" (I think) and it dealt with a few of the players Luke Humphries, Michael Smith and especially Nathan Aspinall.

Nathan was very pragmatic that you could send him abuse all you want but once it strays into bringing in his family in to things because you cant get a rise out of him then there's the major red line. He even had to report some of this garbage to the police it was that bad and he took things like that very badly as any father would "Im just out here to try and provide for my kids and family" was his forlorn reply to questions about it.

The same people who are happy to anonymously send this abuse are generally the first ones to say "oh whys he quit etc he was a decent player etc etc" Its not "banter" its abuse and unfortunately its rampant at the moment with multiple social media channels.

My Dad used to say like it or lump it that's what your having ala Gawy Hethrington to the fans as the rich neighbours sign Tom Johnson.

Not getting Tom Johnston doesn’t bother me.
But not getting or at least trying to McMeeken seems dumb .
