I like the assumption on here that people assume McShane can week after week fill Diskins boots.

I am yet to be convinced.

Diskin along with his group (Sinfield, McGuire, Burrow, JJB) will all need replacing in the not too distant future. No doubt. Like nature, the team needs to evolve.

But you have to be careful of not cutting your nose off to spite your face.

All rumours are rumours.

What happened to TMFMISL to Cas??? Lead balloon. what a shock.

Knowing the IQ of Diskin, his big decision is likely to be peas or beans.

Think I had a dream similar to that

LOL at Matt who has taken the pi$$ out of all the rumours on his tweets.

Don't pretend you don't know. That's your monthly Saturday night treat aint it?

What has he said? Or tweeted?

As long as they bite and they're all different colours, I will happily pay the going rate.

If not - I haggle.

(see how cultured I am?)

Nothing

Can't blame him really if the rumours are true.
Good luck to him, and he'd leave with my best wishes (apart from against Leeds!)

@mattdiskin - Some big decisions in the pipeline






@mattdiskin - Chicken Mayo or Ham Salad?????

@mattdiskin - Latte or Americano????

@mattdiskin - Snicker or mars bar?????

I think Mr Diskin his having a giraffe with us.

@mattdiskin Now for the big one........................Stella or Carling????

Good this copying and pasting game.

Think he'll move with Franny tbh

Someone needs to get on the twittermerbob thingy and tell him that all of those options are terrible, apart from the mars bar!!

so if diskins staying for 2011,what's happening to mcshane then is he going out on loan?

I'll break the thread theme and say I would be delighted if this was true.

This is exactly the sort of change that should have been made already for next year, so a very nice step forward if true IMO.


??????????

Oo I don't know... I quite like the odd Chicken Mayo.

You'll have to excuse Gotcha, he's in love with Buderus.

He is of course going to do the honourable thing and give up his jersey again..... This time to Ben Jones-Bishop. What a guy. Respect.

Of course if it isn't true ....and he selfishly wants to further impede the progress of McShane and Hood .....then he should pay by being made to anonymously play in the reserves. (No change then to his recent first team performances).

Would of thought so, think teams such as Wakefield, Harlequins and Castleford could be a possibility. Unless we would like to keep him off the loanlist this year to maintain backup options incase any injuries occur.

Stop hanging around outside the changing rooms.

I'm sure there was a rumour that Mcshane would be going to Salford for the 2011 season on loan.

McShane is exciting with ball in hand but is a turnstyle in defence ATM. I have heard good things about Hood but never seen him. Can more knowledgable people tell me if he looks good?

He's looked good to me mate when i've seen him ,very quick around the ruck not afraid to try things on the last tackle and he has plenty of aggression.
What he does need to work on is mixing it up more he rushes plays at times in the final 20 when he'll go by himself when we have an over-lap or he'll try a grubber without anyone else knowing he's gonna do it.
Of course all this comes with learning and experience and he's got stacks of potential at the moment and he's now got a FT deal to work on his game and hopefully kick on.

I think this how young players try to get themselves noticed - They seem to think that scoring tries is what will catch the eye of a scout or coach which isn't necessarily true.

They soon calm down once they have a game or two with the big boys. I remember Watkins was similar before he broke through.
