Who is the better prospect in your opinion.'"
Oh I wouldn't know. Someone texted me this aft to say that our loanee has had a few injury hits but i don't really know too much about him. Young Mr Fleming moved on to expand his opportunities as a full time professional so I'd say from his point of view, moving back to Championship standard would be a negative move for his development, unless he's not getting much gametime at Cas. No, I'm a big believer in follow your dreams & good luck to the lad. And also, did Karl & Greeny coach him at Batley or was that after they came to us that he went there ?
I'm just hoping that the decks have been cleared with Sam trying his luck elsewhere & Davies and possibly others coming onboard freshen our lot up somewhat. If we fail to get to the GF ( minimum ) this season on top of the NRC failure I would personally be very disappointed with the season's achievements of our team.
I must say, I've loved the semi finals & finals experiences of the last few seasons, & just like the halcyon days of the late 80's you sort of come to expect it when it's occurred for a few seasons consecutive.
I know the playing staff & coaching teams really aim for the league title & that consistency over the length of a whole season but I don't know what we're going to have to do to win the league, in recent seasons our squads have been large enough compared to our main rivals to compete over a season. We've never finished top of the table since we got relegated, that's ridiculous & unacceptable. I genuinely thought this would be our year with some of our signings but I can't see us topping the table & I do believe you're better off finishing in the top 1 or 2 to be in with a good shout at the GF despite Leeds Rhinos & Sheffield Eagles offerings in recent seasons.
