I didn't mean choose his ESL club mate!
And what's with Warrington these days, they seem like a genuine threat to the big four. Plus, how is Nat Wood going?
A lot comes down to our new stadium which has increased revenue streams therefore giving us a bigger salary cap allowance for next year. In terms of this year the addition of Martin Gleeson** Logan and an injury free Lee briers is allowing us to play to our potential at last.
Nat Wood is a cracking player for attacking the line with pace and being aggresive however his ball distribution is what is letting him down. He tends not to pass and throw a dummy in stead meaning our left flank is starved. He has played some of his best football for us this year and if it wasn't for his age and the aforementioned flaw in his game he would be a shoe in for another year.
I think this year we many win one of (maybe two) our semi's but that is it. Next year with the addition of Rauhihi and a scrum half we will be a team to be watched. It all bodes well for the Wire at the minute.
** This guy has been instrumental though. He basically tells our halves exactly what he wants in training and on the field. It comes off more or less all the time.
Nice to see teams like ourselves and Hull FC working our way towards finals to make the comp as a whole a lot more competitive than it has been over recent years.
