its a thumbs up. Otherwise it would be -1
so what happened to all them signings we were supposed to announce? I still feel like we are in the shambles recruitment wise.
Bird was convicted and sentenced for the glassing (16 months prison). It was only quashed after an appeal where the girlfriend (soon after ex girlfriend) changed her version of events to match Birds.Quote:

Our potential captain is a woman beater and a druggo and our players still endorse him, what kind of culture are we setting up where it just be one where birdy gets off the piss and gets us into trouble again. The only for us to not be the laughing stock is to win matches, and as i said before, we'll be lucking to win any game this year.Quote:

I'm willing to be patient with the club. But what if this 3 year plan backfires, what if the 3 year plan never comes to fruition and we are just in an eternal purgatory of bottom 8 hell.
In saying all that, off the field, we are doing alright. Brian is a great addition to the club, Graham Annesley impressed em last year the way he handled things. some of the older staff has been moved out and Searle's hold over the place is pretty much gone. We've ditched the centre of excellance and are nomads, although parkwood looks to be a great facility and i am very excited to see how that pans out.
We have two of the best young halves in the game right now (Taylor and Elgey) and a forward pack that is relatively underrated. Our backline is awful and we are not going to score many points this season but hpefully our defence takes a swift movement forward.
My god I know we are going through tough times but can we stop turning this place into Depression central? :laugh:
I personally think we are in for a bright future. The past is the past, forget it. Focus on the future.
Couldn't agree more T4L, I think with the board and management that is now in place the future boads well, yes we are in a rebuilding phase and people say how long will it take etc etc etc but this club was on the brink of collapse it will take time for players to gain trust back in the club but I think with Canavan on board this will happen sooner rather than later. Once parkwood is completed it will give the Titans another selling tool much like Searle used the centre of excellence as a sell to prospective players. I think junior development has improved and once again with Canavan on board you wil see huge steps in the right direction
If you're going to have Yin you gotta have a little Yang.
Didn't you mean "when you have a Win you gotta have a little Wang"?Quote:
