I guess his highlight reel will still be mainly stuff whilst at Fev.

Re: Morgan Smith : Tue Sep 12, 2023 5:05 pm  

He’s definitely talented, but for me he is a project player who needs the time to adapt better to running a team at SL level. We didn’t have the time or resources this year to have project players unfortunately, we needed him to hit the ground running.

What about Gale, one decent game.
Many thought that he would save us but, not even close.
At least Lino was busting his nuts last week

Ultimately, you have to ask, how many players have improved through the season, under Applegarth, how many ?

He may turn out to be a top quality SL coach but, this was too soon and given the squad that we started with, he was completely hung out to dry.

Since last week, being all but condemned to relegation, it's hard not to be (very) angry, which is an understatement.

As paying customers, we have been massively short changed and as a club, to lose 14/15 games on the bounce before changing direction, we've had the proverbial extracted from us, big time.

Yes Mr Gale what can you say about that signing another pensioner will Trinity ever learn Proctor Lineham etc

Re: Morgan Smith : Tue Sep 12, 2023 5:51 pm  

Another woeful signing that has ultimately contributed to our relegation. Imagine if we didn’t waste the first half of the season with Smith and Gaskell.

Re: Morgan Smith : Tue Sep 12, 2023 5:56 pm  

Unfortunately we have signed Gale in the twilight of his career. That said, Lino needed to stand up more this year for sure, he has been an attacking spectator. He’s had numerous spine partners, but is it a coincidence the majority of our wins have come when he didn’t play? He’s in the peak of his career, Gale was playing in a GF and WC final at his age, least he’s been there and done it.

Smiths a handy player with some potential. Whether he’ll realise that remains to be seen but he’ll be a decent enough back up option for Hull.

He will be better than Dwyer, so already improves the squad

Will settle for a swap

Re: Morgan Smith : Tue Sep 12, 2023 7:19 pm  

Will need to improve greatly to get into the Hull first team I would have thought.
Not a massive loss.

Yet we all waited with baited breath on the news that our 34 year old Talisman was coming back to rescue us . I’ll settle for those type of pensioners any day than some of the wet wipes we have at present . Couldn’t hold a candle to big Dave no matter the age

He's nowhere near as good as Dwyer.
