At the end of season presentation, Tomkins awarded both Young player and player of the season, all be it i have no complaints i honestly didn't expect him to recieve both but well done, i had a guess at Tommy.

Lockers got players player as well.

Was it a decent evening? One player shouldn't really be able to win both imo. What got try of the year? My fave was Sams against leeds.

Possibly it's because different groups vote for the two awards.



Am I right in thinking one group is the press?

Speaking to Phil Bailey last night he stated that his contract is now sorted and he has got at least a further year

The con's outweigh the pro's IMO but hopefully the people around the club know better(and they should).



At least we're going into next year with some continuity in playing staff for a change which should really help us make a better start to the season.



We're still in desperate need of a world class prop though.

This was always likely when IL said no new signings. One has to assume its for more resonable terms, but it shows money was available....



I personally thought Bailey would go with Noble.

Good news.





I did assume that was the case though or he would've had a send off on Sunday.

Bailey's new deal is on a reduced contract.

You would expect so, I suppose the question is, could that money and our Coley's money have bought us a player that would have improved us.

Bad news!
