Woolford, the squad and the future
Posted: Sat Jun 22, 2019 7:40 am
Im not saying Wooford is or he isnt the man for the job but im seriously starting to question him now. Since the Wakefield defeat at the end of last season we have lost 21 and won 7. Our 7 wins include 2 wins at home to Hull KR and 2 wins against London.
He has made 3 appalling signings in Matagi, Uate and Frawley which he has to take responsibility for. The latter who is apparently home sick, so let him go.
Can he motivate the team? its beginning to sound like he cant. How much of last year was down to Thorman? Why do we struggle more than others team when we get a few injuries?
As it stands, we need to get rid of Ferguson (injury prone), Roberts (new deal syndrome), Ikahihifo (new deal syndrome), Frawley (not good enough), Matagi, Uate and think about replacing Murphy and Clough too who I think have had their time now and should be squad players at best. With the exception of Joe Wardle and Taai, our forwards are currently the worst in SL by some way. No go forward in any of them, simply get rolled by every team.
Was Woolford relying on making our metres from Jerry & Uate while having a more mobile set of forwards?
What do we need most for next season? 2 big props and a 2nd rower for me. Our lack of size every week is becoming more and more evident
Why do some of our senior players only look steady when playing with better players like Jerry & Joe Wardle? why is it when they play with some the youngsters they suddenly look like championship players? other clubs dont have this problem.
Our youngsters are certainly the only good thing about the club at the moment. I hope we don't lose them over the next few years because we cant progress.
