Then get rid of those not good enough for next year. Ashalls, Bracek, Thackaray, Reitee. Hard facts.
Craig Ashall played the full 80 and is (albeit slowly) improving all the time and scored two tries today. Karl shows promise, and could be a really good player given time. Bracek is a strong hard player who's always a handful to put down. I haven't a clue why everyone has such a downer on Reittie - he was dire at one point for us, but (as Karl H noted after the game today), he takes the ball up and tough's it out when no-one else wants to. Thacks is so frustrating, because he should be able to do so much better.
I was using my "early bird" season ticket dining option today. Some great stuff as usual from Pete Emmett, and a good bit of banter between him and Brian Noble before the game.
Karl's most telling comment after the game was that we have some great individual contributions, but we're still not clicking as a team. He also commented that there's a lot of good work going on behind the scenes, with a lot of youthful players coming on that could pay dividends for us in the next couple of years. He also noted that Keighley had been rather disruptive in announcing Tiger's move at this stage of the season!
Btw, if there's one player we
should be trying to entice from Batley, it would be their winger, Greg Johnson. He was really quick!
