Surley we have scope for some fresh blood tangata released money for a fifita we cant moan where under spending if we aint spending the money we di have..for me we need a propper rough n ready prop then we can put kelpi to sr

Even if we do get a prop it’s not going to change how we approach the opposition’s try line. Hang on, there is no approach.

We had all the pressure and field position to put that one away last night but we were just far too lateral near the opposition line and we’re not capable of building pressure as every time we turned the screw we came up with a silly error/unforced penalty.

The squad we have is good enough to survive and should do. I don’t see any reason to add to it and put ourselves under further financial pressure unless we can identify the right caliber of player who is available and who will add to the quality of the team over the course of the next 2-3 years.

Last thing we need is another Green who comes in does well for a month or 2 then offers very little beyond that.

I'd even question that!

Lots of Brisbane broncos have just been shown the door mid season - lets get some of those or at least look at that them
we have 2 quota spots dont we?

Which players mate

Yeah gotta admit I’m very disappointed with Green, he made an impact when brought in on loan, showed a little bit in patches last season but this year, the guy just doesn’t play to his size. Pathetic really!

Leeds picked up James Bentley from saints, missed a gem there

Wtf, Leeds must be paying him a tonne. He’s a quality player who I reckon saints would of loved to have kept.

I spoke to him a year or so ago when of all places to meet him he came to view my father in laws house, came over as a lovely quite lad with a good head on his shoulders looking to find a house over here so it it must of been on his plans back then to come back to Yorkshire, having not really broken into the saints team at that time but it soon became apparent he meant business and impressed me with his desire to be on the winning side

He's a cracking player but, also, a Leeds lad.
Even if we'd had loadsamoney, he wouldn't have come to Wakey. Pity though as he would improve our pack (and anyone else's too).

Did he buy it snowie?

Leeds seem to miss out on quite a few of their local lads early on but have the status and cash to pull them back once someone else has developed them.

no it was too expensive at the time

What about the other young lad from Saints - Batchelor? Surely a certain someone could put a good word in

'Hey Bruv, get yersen darn Wakey it's mint, the coaching and facilities are second to none...' ?

With how james is treated by cc is he really gonna sell wakey to his bro

Oh...how is he treated?

Well he picks a centre to play in back row before picking james..batch seems to go well but is always dropped at first opportunity

Is he? From memory he seems to have been given quite a lot of opportunities Batchelor, although I personally wouldn't have picked a centre ahead of him on the bench I agree, but maybe he has a niggle? Also it did turn out for the best in the end. Don't see this as a thing to knock Chester with personally, there's enough to go at already without manufacturing more....

CC explained that Joe A was on the bench as he can cover both centre and in the pack, something we've had a problem with when we get a back injured. Tash and Batch have both done time in the centres this season, not ideal, but perhaps you think it is. Who came in when Bill T was injured against Cas? Just a thought.

How many teams have centres on the bench to cover an injury in the centre during the game.if biily hadnt of been so unfortunate joe would of never of came on at centre.im a big fan of joes but i deffo dont think he is a better back rower than batch and my intial comment was that james gets some tough calls no matter how well he is playing when he comes in for injured player as soon as the injured player returns he out again he never gets a consistent chance

But can Batch play centre?

We’ve had injuries to wingers or centres in about 5 games out of 11. When bill got injured and we didn’t have a centre on bench, you’d probably be moaning that CC never learns any lessons!!!

Out of interest, who’s available that improves us?
