Great call VDS66.
It's amazing how many forwards they have let go over the last 4-5 years.......mind boggling really.
Their av points for this season is 73 ...and today they went slightly over that average.
Pre this round they had the comps lowest "points for"
Bolton has done a really good job(credit where it's due) getting a functional backline to minimize heavy losses but they just can't kick big scores.
They're still a very old side. Won't make finals this year, might next year but don't look like they're flag contenders. So in 2019 they'll have:
34: Simpson
33:
32: Armfield
31: Murphy, Rowe, Silvagni A, Thomas
30: Gibbs, Palmer, White
29: Casboult, Curnow, Kreuzer, Wright
All those guys will be dropping off at those sort of ages. They need a few of their poached guys to really come through in the middle-age brackets, guys like Jaksch, Gorringe, Smedts, Lamb, Kerridge, Plowman.
It looks to me like it's now or never for the Blues, and I don't think it's now.
