I'll have to disagree there, I reckon he will be a great signing for them.

Think if the rules between SL and NRL were the same then possibly but personally if he does sign for a club in SL for next year whoever that maybe I just wonder if he will sit out more games than he plays due to his style and the disparity in the rules followed.

It's a huge risk of a signing and 1 I'd be disappointed if our club took.
The guy is already 35 and still has a season of rugby to play before he even sets foot in this country. Anything could happen to him this year at his age.

Can't believe how many players down we are already and its only week 2. I wanted some younger lads to be given a shot this year but I didn't think it would be so many and so early! Hope they all give a good account of themselves and if they can get a point on the scoreboard then that would be nice!

JWH signing confirmed.

Off-field influence may be beneficial, on-field another story. Glad we weren't in the mix to sign him. He does say some nice things about Hull (makes a change) so good luck to him.

we all hope that but think we will see on Friday the on field indiscipline runs through the club at all levels

At least four or five Championship clubs would beat that team

All we can ask for is that the team give their all and don't throw the towel in.

We realistically have no chance, unless something freakish happens so just get through it, hopefully get a couple of tries on the board and avoid any further injuries or cards.

Played in the reserves
no mention of injury and if he cant get into such a depleted squad then why sign him

The pace in their backs will run us ragged

The question has to be asked, how have we yet again found ourselves in this position? let alone in Round bloody 2.

Will be there on Friday, and will support the young lads. However I am becoming fed up of travelling to these games almost accepting defeat before KO. How have the club let it get to this.

Well the disciplinary issues are our own fault. That's down to the coaching staff and the players.

Injuries? Well we can't keep blaming the conditioning because we've had problems whoever has done that job.

Got to be something as it happens every year without fail, the pitch was allegedly to blame at country Road before but they aren’t there now.

guess its part of (allegedly) not spending full cap, starting 17 when all fit, good...few injuries/suspensions were in the poop! cant see us scoring again friday night, we have the worst half back combo in the league imo!

Yes, our (Wire) outside backs are rapid, well, apart from King, but against Catalans we didn't create a single running opportunity for any of them. Maybe we'll get more opportunities on Friday but our attack looked very clunky last weekend.

Kevin Turvey!! haven't heard from you for years. Do you still count your cornflakes?

Im leaning towards maybe playing Okunbor outwide rather than litten who i thought struggled defensively and really struggled making yards out of backfield.

Allowing us to play Jebson and Stavely at second row who offer us abit of size and go forward.

Surely Balmforth is in the 17 has to be.

Walker
Okunbor
Martin
Sutcliffe
Barron
Hoy
M.smith
Ashworth
F. Brown
J. Brown
Lane
Severs
Stavely

Balmforth
Gardiner
Laidlow
Litten

Think defensively that would be our best bet especially out wide.

Scotts out for a month

Oh fer fecks sake

Isn't he coming back from an injury? Perhaps he isn't deemed up to speed for SL rugby yet.

Great isn’t it

Its a toughie. Suppose the positive is experiance for the young lads and hopefully some can impress and pressure the seniors

We need a player like him.A real leader on the field
One year deal is good business for them

I’m doing an investigation at the moment so can’t comment on that

Bad management at the top and now a lack of funds to bring in any quality signings

good call re Okunbor
I said we would see him on the wing now and again
Think Litten will play but he is not S/L quality at centre or wing
