College should break up in the next couple of weeks so He'll be able to train full time. He'll make his debut not look out of place and then we won't see him again going back to the usual game of musical chairs with players who are average at best in their own positions trying to fill in elsewhere. Square pegs, round holes, silk purses, sows ears and all that.

It doesn't fill you with any confidence does it?

With us playing you lot after we play that group over the river at their gaf next week what do you think will be our chances?
Will you finally find some form as you almost always seem to play well against us.

I'll be totally honest and say that you'll win by a good twenty points.

You'll have had 8 days off. Plus you lot are looking good and if you play like you did last night you'll stick 60 past us.

Say it as it is why don't you

For a change, you make some valid points Mick.

And, for fear of repetition, well done Brian Mac for having faith in his youth system. Takes some bottle and self belief in an era of feet stamping "I want it now" demands.

Im sorry you can't really be that bad surely!
I'm expecting a bit of a backlash.

i feel for you lot...what makes me laugh is the board can see whats going on week in week out....all the complaints on here..etc..but they still sit on their @rses and do nowt...as long as the money's coming in they dont give a toss about you speccies.

Well after watching Dobson kick a team like Leeds to death with Donald, Hall and Smith struggling to make any ground on kick returns due to a) the quality of the kick and b) tremendous kick chase (I can't remember a Leeds player returning a KR kick without being met by at least 2 tacklers almost immediately) can you imagine what a time Sheriffe, Reardon/Halley will have?

A person's view on a teams perforamnce is always a matter of opinion but the facts speak for themselves we've lost 8 out of the last 8 and at the moment unless we see a dramatic change in performance the team can't get going unless they give away a 2-3 score head start.

We have a winner.

Correct Miss Jones.

It is abundantly clear, nobody and no situation at the club is held to account or reflected to it's core customer base. It's really that simple.

Waiting for a magic wand in any business, is a wait for failure.

Spot on with this.

But as I've already said people who have been following the club since the 50's, 60's and 70's are turning their back on the club.

Surely Peter Hood is worried by all this.

All my points are valid, well maybe to me anyway.

But yes, Brian McDermott must take the accolades for blooding the young British born London players.

That would require him to make some acknowledgement that his formulae is incorrect.

That won't happen. Not whilst he continues to morris dance with Nick Clegg in the vein hope of being giving a winning lottery ticket for OSV.

Well the slow death it is then.

Irreversible damage has been done by keeping McNamara in charge for so long.

The supporters who used to come during the glory years have been moved on and now laugh at the results of our once proud club.

I just can't see how you'll get these people back and while all this goes on, were still having to spend significant figures of money on the up keep of Odsal.

Please someone, give me some positive news?

Sorry better make that 10 days off as it's on the Sunday now.

Could we not move the Salford game to Friday night?

Don't know the logistics of it. I suppose if everything is in place we might not be able to?

I might be that Macca is specifically targetting the Salford match and has written off the KR match? Win your home games and see where you are. A week should be enough rest though for a professional player.

KR played Friday last night, the derby on Thursday because the two weekend Sky games include the NR cup final and now thanks to Sky the following Sunday.

6 days and then 10 days rest preiods.

Bulls' will be 9 days and then 7 days so thinking over the two games it's better but for the KR game it definately gives them an advantage.

I can honestly say that I would rather see a side including Addy, Halley, Southernwood, Wardle, Crossley, Finigan, Kopczak, Whitehead, Donaldson play there heart out and feel the pride of putting on the famous red, amber and black then some of the current players.

I could not agree more. The big names seem to have given up! Let the youngsters have a go they will all play with pride and they want to impress, a bit of competition places will make everyone work harder. Lets face it what is the worsdt that can happen?

That is probably the most sensible post you have ever made.

Funny thing is that I've now had chance to get over yesterday and I'm, now looking forward to Salford.

Which really is a must win game.

Glad to see you've rediscovered your sense of perspective.

It's only a game.

Mate, if the board seriously took much notice of all the negativity, hopelessly misplaced optimism, and blue crayon jobs posted by some on here they would have topped themselves by now. Btw, the money has gone and is no longer coming in, that's part of the problem.
