Crash.....I suspect we will be slightly better next season but only if we can keep the core of this side together. Many are on 2 yr deals, so we will probably let them all go in October
Slightly perhaps. Remember though that Keighley appear to be throwing money about and only Whitehaven look like they might be on the downturn. The real test OM is how many of the better players are on 2 year contracts. I’m not sure and then, of course, who will be our new coach and will he recruit in the style of JC or more effectively from the Championship player pool.
Who of our ‘projects’ or younger players has obviously developed significantly. Many are improving which is great but game changers? I’m not sure.
My gut feeling is if we know we are going to be a Championship side in 2023 a few weeks before end of season we’ll be OK if not I think we may struggle- remember we came into this season as consistently one of the best teams in this league and still struggled to get much traction as a fully PT outfit. Next season it will be off the back of a really dodgy season. We’ll have to do some pretty fancy talking and planning to get in players, supporters and sponsors to previous levels I think. Definitely possible but we’ve consistently shown ourselves to be slow learners and error prone so if we haven’t learnt from this season how not to do it, it could get messy.
