Lee should have put it right instead of buying Farimo imo. Without question.. Especially with Feki, Eden and Olpherts potentially available as top line wingers with Qarrqare waiting a shot and Clare for back up. Then the army fella!!!! Jeez.SuffolkTiger wrote: ↑15 Jan 2022, 00:36We have been for several seasons….
I’m confident that Lee will more than put that right ready for 2023. It’s make the best of what we’ve got until then.

I think when you look at other squads in SL then 6th to eighth is pretty fair, finish any higher and Radford will have had a a pretty good first seasonSuffolkTiger wrote: ↑16 Jan 2022, 16:18If Carlsberg did gloom & negativity when there is a general sense of optimism around the club ahead of the season…….Blackbulltiger wrote: ↑16 Jan 2022, 12:20 Think be a very hard season for us this year finish around six to eight hope am wrong but struggle in half's again think we have one off worse set off back up forwards in league
We should be looking at top four with our strongest side out that's my opinion anywaySuffolkTiger wrote: ↑16 Jan 2022, 16:18If Carlsberg did gloom & negativity when there is a general sense of optimism around the club ahead of the season…….Blackbulltiger wrote: ↑16 Jan 2022, 12:20 Think be a very hard season for us this year finish around six to eight hope am wrong but struggle in half's again think we have one off worse set off back up forwards in league
Yes and we can stand the loss of a half back, which a lot of other teams can't.tigerfeat wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022, 13:48We should be looking at top four with our strongest side out that's my opinion anywaySuffolkTiger wrote: ↑16 Jan 2022, 16:18If Carlsberg did gloom & negativity when there is a general sense of optimism around the club ahead of the season…….Blackbulltiger wrote: ↑16 Jan 2022, 12:20 Think be a very hard season for us this year finish around six to eight hope am wrong but struggle in half's again think we have one off worse set off back up forwards in league
Other thing I'd add Mart is when Radoford as got rid of the players he dosnt want that are off contract this season and brought in the players he does want for 2023 and beyond it will be a formidable teammart0042 wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022, 13:56Yes and we can stand the loss of a half back, which a lot of other teams can't.tigerfeat wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022, 13:48We should be looking at top four with our strongest side out that's my opinion anywaySuffolkTiger wrote: ↑16 Jan 2022, 16:18If Carlsberg did gloom & negativity when there is a general sense of optimism around the club ahead of the season…….Blackbulltiger wrote: ↑16 Jan 2022, 12:20 Think be a very hard season for us this year finish around six to eight hope am wrong but struggle in half's again think we have one off worse set off back up forwards in league

Yes, I love an in form truey but it has to be one rule fitting all or it doesn't work. If he wants the big money he's got to show he's worth it. Injury free he could be stellar this year. I'm hoping so. And it applies to all. We can't carry Deadwood.Scoopage wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022, 15:49I’m thinking we lose trueman end of this season and sign a top halfback for 2023tigerfeat wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022, 14:44Other thing I'd add Mart is when Radoford as got rid of the players he dosnt want that are off contract this season and brought in the players he does want for 2023 and beyond it will be a formidable teammart0042 wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022, 13:56Yes and we can stand the loss of a half back, which a lot of other teams can't.tigerfeat wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022, 13:48We should be looking at top four with our strongest side out that's my opinion anywaySuffolkTiger wrote: ↑16 Jan 2022, 16:18

LR cracking the whip….!!Clubs who might have signed Trueman might be re-thinking that with the current rules on vaccination, especially as that might be even more important in the next couple of years. At the moment, unvaccinated players can't play in France so they will miss a minimum of two games, and that could be even more depending on loop fixtures and the cup draw. Then there's the issue that unvaccinated players still have to self-isolate for 10 days after a close contact with a positive case, so that's probably two games every time plus all training. Some clubs have already said that they won't be signing unvaccinated players for these reasons.Scoopage wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022, 15:49I’m thinking we lose trueman end of this season and sign a top halfback for 2023tigerfeat wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022, 14:44Other thing I'd add Mart is when Radoford as got rid of the players he dosnt want that are off contract this season and brought in the players he does want for 2023 and beyond it will be a formidable teammart0042 wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022, 13:56Yes and we can stand the loss of a half back, which a lot of other teams can't.tigerfeat wrote: ↑17 Jan 2022, 13:48We should be looking at top four with our strongest side out that's my opinion anywaySuffolkTiger wrote: ↑16 Jan 2022, 16:18

Some good points made. However, Matagi is contracted for the 2023 season as well:nottinghamtiger wrote: ↑18 Jan 2022, 14:03Clubs who might have signed Trueman might be re-thinking that with the current rules on vaccination, especially as that might be even more important in the next couple of years.

As for Cas, we have both Trueman and Richardson out-of-contract at the end of this year, so we could end up seeing a completely new partnership in 2023 with one or two half-backs coming in, in addition to O'Brien and McLelland. We'll also have some flexibility around the quota with Blair, Feki, Matagi, Edwards and Fonua all only contracted for 2022, so Radford will have plenty of options with squad recruitment and retention between 2022 and 2023.
Thanks, didn't realise that. I just assumed that with his age we would have only given him a year - he must be knocking on for mid-30s already!Fumper27 wrote: ↑18 Jan 2022, 19:05Some good points made.
