2018 Squad stronger than Last Year ?? You decide
Re: 2018 Squad stronger than Last Year ?? You decide
As last year proved, it's about peaking/performing when it matters. As long as we're in the top 4 by the end of the Super 8's anything can happen from then.

Re: 2018 Squad stronger than Last Year ?? You decide
Or maybe it’s because the Super 8s (additional games against the better teams) come at the end of the season, therefore the points for and against are much closer???cogito ergo sum wrote:Some stats for last year make interesting reading, if only to ask if we were "worked out".
First half of 2017, points for 537, against 254, average win 36-17 (rounded up)
Second half of 2017, 428 for 282 against, average win 28-19.
That indicates were were more effective in the first half, so why was that? Will that carry through to this year?

Thanks for that a good read, only 9 sleeps to go till we can really test our selves, we could not have wished for a better test 23 years since we beat them over at Saints , i am very confident that we will turn them over this time

Re: 2018 Squad stronger than Last Year ?? You decide
yes we are going to miss ZAK any team would, in is absence the club as done a good job in recruitment, strengthening in other departments , the bookies are taking no chances with CAS making us favorites to carry on where we left of last session , only time will tell i am with the bookiesThe Firm wrote:Exactly my take on it.jackknife wrote:Id say no simply because

May take a while but trueman -gale will be better than roberts -gale in my humble

But Roberts at full back won't be better than Zak. His defensive leadership from the back will be a huge miss. Not sure Roberts will be able to do that.tigerfeat wrote:May take a while but trueman -gale will be better than roberts -gale in my humble
Re: 2018 Squad stronger than Last Year ?? You decide
I really do hope Trueman gets the nod over Ellis. Trueman could be the future of the club if given his chance.

Re: 2018 Squad stronger than Last Year ?? You decide
100% agree but somehow I think Ellis will start first couple.
Re: 2018 Squad stronger than Last Year ?? You decide
Its great to see our youngsters coming through, but for our first match i would stick with Ellis he as a good kicking game and experience on his side, i am sure we will see Trueman turn out a number of times during the season the lad certainly looks the part
Re: 2018 Squad stronger than Last Year ?? You decide
I don't see what Ellis brings apart from a strong kicking game (which we get from Gale anyway) Trueman has pace and can worry a tiring big Saints pack towards the end of each half.gateman wrote:Its great to see our youngsters coming through, but for our first match i would stick with Ellis he as a good kicking game and experience on his side, i am sure we will see Trueman turn out a number of times during the season the lad certainly looks the part
Take the risk and play Trueman. I'm guessing both will be in the 19 before one is left out as 18th man.

Re: 2018 Squad stronger than Last Year ?? You decide
Very true but we have Gale and Roberts for that. Trueman brings something different and that's his speed.
Re: 2018 Squad stronger than Last Year ?? You decide
Roberts can do a lot of things but his kicking game is not up to scratch.InTheKnow wrote:Very true but we have Gale and Roberts for that. Trueman brings something different and that's his speed.
I think Trueman might come off the bench or Ellis on the bench. Either way it’s a nice headache to have.
Re: 2018 Squad stronger than Last Year ?? You decide
I know it was poor conditions Vs leeds but look how many dropouts we caused having Ellis in the squad. It's something we really aren't very good at usually.
