Need to get Balmforth tied up, think he could be a sensation this year. Very positive first season, much fitter and playing with better players.


Couldn't agree more and after seeing some of the pre season footage so far Balmforth has looked in great shape and pretty rapid too.

Might also be doing players some good knowing that spots are up for grabs in the team. With hooker for example, for the longest time that was Danny H's spot and the best you could hope for was to be his backup. Now there's a genuine opportunity for a player like Balmforth to claim a starting shirt in that position.

Need to be speaking to Balmforth soon as other clubs will be in a couple of weeks time.

That’s a fair point indeed RR. It does seem as though the wind of change has certainly blown through and the players have got on board with a completely refreshed setup and attitude.

Interesting comments from Abdul to about the conversations the players had with JC at the end of the season and the message he gave them all has had an impact.
