Just watched the state final and Agree with AC’s comments about Jenkins, he did well although it’s hard to judge the level as second tier.

Blease had hinted we were after a serious 8 but it appears we have not got that player.

Given the pack needed attention I have a few concerns about Jenkins and Palasia.

Jenkins is 23, has never played in NRL, has had a fractured sternum, 2 serious ankle injuries and a knee reconstruction.

Palasia has had a scarcely believable 3 ACL’s , an MCL , a PCL, a broken ankle , broken hand and a fractured shoulder.

Next season could be determined by how often these 2 , Holroyd and Gannon can get on the pitch.

Against a backdrop of consecutive 8th place finishes and seeing Hull KR sign JWH and Hudds sign Tom Burgess, and Catalan sign a host of proven players I would have expected a board with genuine ambition to sign a marquee diesel forward.

I shall keep my fingers crossed and manage my expectations that we can sneak past Salford and Leigh into 6th.

Should have signed a new contract then at Leeds. Unlucky

people are hearing he hates the drive that much hes asked his mate mik oledzki to join him

Taxi for mik

I hope we can stop carping on about Martin leaving. He's a good player and very good kicker, and if we had a better set of props it would have been great if he stayed. But he's gone, and that freed up a much-needed quota spot. All the best to him at Rovers - definitely one of our best ever imports.

A fantastic servant to the club and a very popular player behind the scenes by all accounts but yeah, we move on unfortunately.
