Martin Hall, with Matt Calland as his assistant could have led to big things, but Hall left the club leaving Calland to it. We were awful in defence, but we could execute set moves, come back from 20 odd points behind to win.

Since Harrison, I always thought we needed a backs coach. Probably cost big wages though as they would have been well known former players.

Who - or what - are backs ?

That's his version of a possessive pronoun. He has been told several times that the word is "our" but he insists on using "are" which I've noticed is becoming a common occurrence in the last year or two. I think our education system is failing badly!

The lad was always going to take the full time SL contract over part time with us. Hope he's back next season on loan

I'm sure when you renew your season ticket you can throw in an extra £800K to spend on players. You could also run a coaching session with patterns of play and technical attacking drills for Richard to draw inspiration from.

Don't forget to bring along your video analysis notes on prospective centres which we can add to "are" squad. Maybe even point out to Richard and his coaching team what strengths they should be looking for in a centre so as to implement the patterns of play you shared earlier.

Or maybe not. Jesus. I despair

Im not sure they could have stopped him. All they would have to do is offer him some sort of full time contract and our contract is no longer worth the paper its written on. I guess worst case is we get him back next year and develop him for another year in the hope that he is good enough to play first team. He looked it yesterday but got torn a new one over at Bradford.
