After playing with some of the best players in the world ... coming to a rundown city in the north of england ... and playing with some right tte ... come on luke I know your DIFFERENT GRAVY ... but dont be remembered for playing with these oxygen wasters....

Islambob is fast becoming the most eccentric poster here ! What does this even mean ?

I think he's implying that we are e. To be fair he's right

glad we didnt get him, grix has been brilliant for the giants at full back

We are not saying he has been poor, just that as a team we have been poor, which is true.

Player coach material maybe?

Decent idea that, then we'd have someone else to blame for the poor performances of the team.

a Gary Jacks?

TBF I wasnt exactly thinking that last night but I thought something similar. Going from playing at ANZ to playing at the Willows must have been a culture shock. Im hoping for your sakes moving into the new ground has the same effect that it had on Hull when they went to the KC and you are able to attract some decent crowds and sign some better quality players all round.

Don't believe everything you read, Luke has been pretty good for us and now looks like he's settling in and is getting better match by match, his combination with Holdsworth is working quite nicely.

"eccentric". A career in "The Diplomatic Corps" may be yours for the asking. I'm not so sure I would have used that particular adjective.

Anyone that has watched RL over the years only has to watch this guy (sometimes not on the ball or immediately involved) to see that this man is in a class apart: he doesn't "wimp out" or duck criticism, or for that matter duck games for injuries!!!

Don't forget that this guy is being exposed more and more with the very poor defending that has been our trademark so far.

I like this bloke, and I'm sure that most sensible Reds fans will support him and all the other people at the club that are doing their best.

Sorry if I sound a wee bit defensive.

All the best.

Attacking I think we look good and with time will get very clinical when near the opponents line, but defensively we are terrible, I think if we work on our defence a lot we could become a very good team.

[iNothing wrong with this Luke Patten I'm very confident he will come good.

At this time 'The General' is playing in a team that have no confidence but all that could/can change come this Friday night at the Willows.

All eyes will be on the Robins new man Willie Mason and with a bit of luck we will just go out there and throw the ball about and do the business.

We need a win on Friday more than ever! Our next 3 games are ALL winnable.

Hull KR(H)
Catalan(A)
Crusaders(H)

I think we need to give more time for our team to gel, and we need a huge improvement on our defence.

How long does it take for a team to gel

Depends how good a coach is

We just need the pitches to firm up.

we are training well tho

Better put the season on hold then as presently these games are not winable. Two of the above have already bashed the hell out of us, and the third beat KR at KR.

Indeed, training the house down I believe.

See this is what happens when the club cheapskate and don't take the lads on a free holiday to Florida.
