| Quote weighman="weighman"S-O the year we had a full time squad was around 2006 under JCW.
Was Hawthorne talking about 1995 the year we had in the big league when we went bust ,'"
Yeah silly me, I just automatically thought he was talking of the last time we went bust.
Only eleven years out.
lol
Or was it last but one?

| We may have gone bust since then , when Harrison walked , leaving Carl Hall to pick up the pieces.
Oh what fun it has been, we are still here well some of us anyway!

He wasn't awful when he and Penny pulled off a memorable fightback win at Dewsbury.
You might have been there that day, I was and won't forget it.
Although I will admit he didn't fulfil his potential, he seemed to have piled the weight on and lost his edge.
Prior to that he was very good.

| It's an opinions game I guess, I wouldn't have had him in my top 5 of that team.
I actually thought Mbu played well in that brief stint, as did what's his face (the aussie prop who get arrested most weeks whose name escapes me)
(Anyway, we're digressing)

Full length of the pitch in the last minute after being 20 odd points down.Ill not forget that one either.The fans went mental ! Brilliant afternoon in a terrible season.

| Quote Stand-Offish="Stand-Offish"That was a brave attempt by John Wright to take us up to the next level.
He didn't get it W(right) but he must have been poorly advised.
A coach was hired who was not even in the country at the time the squad was assembled in his ignorance.
Most of them weren't stars, they were plain ordinary, some were terrible.
Only Joel Penny and Rickki Sheriffe were class.
The first home game drew a crowd of 4600, although quite a few were freebies, but nevertheless that was the impressive crowd.
The rugby served up was rubbish, the team a set of misfits and Wright's dream was shattered, they didn't come back.
However had the side been what it should have been things could have been very different.
Talk of Superleague is really silly unless we do get players of the likes of Joel Penny.'"
I know a lot dont share my opinion but i thought JCW had delusions of grandeur and threw unnecessary money about when there was no need. That home game was against Cas and of the 4 and a half thousand about 500 paid to get in.The loyal 500 who are probably still going to this day. (If you remember there was a meeting and he said the money taken on that day wouldnt cover Holroyds wages at which GH's missis stormed out unimpressed!)
We can learn a lot from that period. If we survive next year we have to make sure its done properly the year after and im sure Carl and John will oversee it properly and wont have too many interferences from the rovers.
On the subject of Sheffield we have to remember that Mr Swire is a successfull businessman and backs the Eagles to the hilt.It must be done around the shirt sponsorships i guess that the boards companies provide.Also love him or loathe him you have to say Aston has done a great job as well.

| I d just be happy to have a team that didn't give a way 2 to 3 penalties that resulted in tries most weeks..
You can only affect what you can affect - and daft penalties for the god knows how many seasons in a row is still a factor that is killing us.
Not sure if that is why Robbo was taken off by PC , but unfortunately they then ran 2 more tries in down that side...
Something I have always used in all jobs, including coaching
Right People, Right Place, at Right Time doing the Right things..
That alone will get us in top 8 AND IT AIN'T ROCKET SCIENCE.
If Paul believes he has the best team he can based on any parameters set (and it has been his decision) then the rest is down to him to coach and instil.
Dewsbury were only workmanlike at there place and they beat us easy...
