So a week off next week for the lads well id certainly play bug numbers of the 1st team in the reserve match at wigan and try install some confidence into them

[list[/list:uDo you actually want us to win

I’d potentially play a handful but tbh wouldn’t play that many. I think it’s important they get some good training and prep in for the Warrington game.

classic! Hasn't worked so far

What’s your contribution then? Don’t mock someone’s opinion and then not offer your own or any reasoning.

Do you simply suggest because things haven’t worked so far to simply not keep trying things? An opportunity has arisen for an extended break between games. That should be utilised in full to prepare for Warrington.

Well the mis-spelling of a certain word is pretty apt there mate!

Proctor and Atoni would be the first names down. Saying that Proctor will probably be in Venice and Atoni will be trying to knock his way out of a wet paper bag.

Agree here, I would be playing Proctor (and a few others) because he is not match fit.

It's not punitive, it's just good player management.

But as you say, he may have other plans...jump onto Instagram next week to find out.

He flew out to Majorca this morning.

Nice.

If you’re not match fit after 10 games then you’re goosed. How he runs around, looks like he’s either crapped himself or he’s bust. Not good. Oh well, hope he has a lovely mojito on us

Are you joking (I guess I should check IG!)?

Hope he is back by Wednesday as Mash was only giving them 2/3 days off.

That would be a big indicator for how serious the player is.

Boarding passes and flight on IG

Presumably if he isn't back in time that will be breach of contract and we can sack him off without further cost. Here's hoping.

Was it Majorca or Nice he flew to?

I'm hoping he stays there for 6 months.

Atoni not up to SL standard, Proctor - had it from what I've seen, and Tafua, a bloke who tries but is he really any better than Evans - who we allowed to slip away - NO!
All in all, three cracking signings.I cannot think of three worse oversees players (Ok Hickey) to have one such player is a letdown, but three at one go - well, no wonder we're where we are.
I read somewhere that Atoni was wanting to take up his option of a second year!

Majorca. Cracking the flags as well.

Wow. Life of Riley. This is the sort of behaviour that gets the "Low Quality" fans riled, at which point they start booing players and make it all look a little unsavoury.

Looks like Proctor is happy to run that gantlet to fulfil travel goals. Happy we could all pay for it Kev. Good on you.

"not here for a holiday" he said.... and we took it (including myself)

TBF he is right, not a holiday just loads of little ones

Majorca on boarding pass

I have no problem with Proctor travelling while not playing or training.

However, when you are effectively the marquee player and your stats are very low, its bad PR at best and poor way of trying to improve your stats.
I defended him on that before on the back of Mash's explanation but that can't keep happening. He needs to be trying to fix this issue with everyone else.

Yep. This two week break was the perfect opportunity for him to have a 'mini pre-season', get some miles in his legs and get his fitness levels up to where they should be for someone earning the money he is. That isn't going to be happening sat on a sun lounger sipping cocktails thats for sure. It's the feeling that he's taking the proverbial and isn't afraid to hide it that is annoying people the most.

Put it this way Andy Last has said Cas are training for the two weeks to fix up their issues and they haven't actually been that far away from getting a couple of wins. Meanwhile our super league future is disappearing down the toilet whilst they get a nice break they certainly haven't earned. Angry? You bet i am.

Great post.
