My source is very close to the players 42 being an ex not so retired one, he wouldnt make this up either as he bleeds black & white, but I hope he is wrong. Maybe there was a change of heart overnight after yesterdays debacle ?

SD I hope he is wrong as well. The person who told me David Ellard was at the recovery session had not heard anything about Ellard's retirement.

Perhaps you boys should ask a fella like Ames what's going on.....doesn't he run a personal training business from the club?....surely he will be in the know?....LOL

Why would we need to do that when we have you and your conjoined mate BC?

It is my understanding Amesys PT business is based about 5km east from the club!

Yep true indeed BH....thought he was based at the club for some reason...still surely that wouldn't stop either mikeh, 42 or your good self BH, from popping in, doing one of Amesys F45 sessions and chewing the fat with him over a well deserved lucozade, trying to get the low down on the goings on at Steel Blue.....

Haven't got a clue about Ellard 42, never indicated as such from memory mate...just love reading all the mystery about your sauces......oops sources....LOL

We need leaders like Ellard to stick around the club because we do not have a lot of experience to guide the young blokes coming through other than Tony, Rogers, Doc, Howie and young Jesse Turner are now in that category with Banners now retired Riggs apparently finishing up at seasons end Blight and Ugle out for extended periods etc.
We do have some good players coming through but they need guidance on the park and off as to how to succeed at League level.
A concerted effort also has to be made to get some of our promising former Colts/WA 18s boys back to the club as that is another reason why we havent come on from when Harding started pushing young blokes through 4 years ago.
Where are the likes of Aiden Clarke, Dylan Smith, Jason Daniels, Jake Taylor, Nelson Ansey, John Shaw, Levi Ridley, Dylan Nelson, Lindsay Murray, Chris Firns, Tim Yorkshire, Kevin Pickett, John Grimson etc nowadays?

Thats a lot of good players gone BH, didnt realise there were that many, thought Ridley was still at the club though? Hasnt he played a few league games this year?

Those F45 sessions sound a bit labour intensive Freezin, think I might skip straight to the Lucozade.....
