Ellis was rubbish, had one good game were he kicked great, apart that his kicking was no better than anyone else.

Add to this he was unfit, couldnt pass and was a poor defender.

Anyone who thinks we have made a mistake in letting him go, needs to watch another sport.

On topic, if DJ is out for a few weeks, idclook for a loan signing, like Gaskell, o Brien or Powell.

Going with what we have for the next few weeks would be a mistake mistake by gentle.

Not that there's any real proof that we have attacking structures, but the problem with a loan and a short term one at that is that the player won't have time to integrate into those structures. Maybe somebody like a Westerman or Whiting, who already know the set plays is a better option. Problem there is both have bulked up and aren't really suited to the role anymore.


Unless we could get somebody for the season, I don't see the point.

Will never play for us again.

If that's the case why are we messing about puttg him out on loan? Did we not just give him a one year deal starts of year?
I know what he did on twitter was wrong but i would say you get out there then and show us what you can do if you think your better.

Rumours of a suspension after the Twitter incident but no official comments. Still at York so maybe any suspension means he can't be recalled during this period. Think the club need to clarify their position here as to not recall him is otherwise incomprehensible at this time.

Where did you hear he'd never play for us again?

I don't find the idea of not recalling a championship standard player all that incomprehensible TBH.

I do since we don't have any halves of even Championship standard available.

If we don't go for Nicklas I'd go with Whiting. Westys been our best back rower this season so moving him is daft, although I'd give him extra responsibility and Heremaia isn't a 7 in a month of Sundays.

I was told the other day Nicklas is injured, due to yorks match at Donny being called off i can't find anything as to whether its true or not as I can't find the team selection

We need to send all our players to the witch doctor that Dobson has been to see.
"Out for 2-4 weeks". Starting tonight v Cas.

Petty mind games?

were you suprised!?

Nope. Just hoping there's a couple of injuries tonight for them.

Nope the Dobson out at Easter story is getting as common as the resurrection...

I'm happy for them to remain injury free, wouldn't want them to bring in anyone who could tackle.

Wow

Regarding Dobson wasn't it just the usual HDM getting a bit over excited? Also people wanting injuries to happen to another team is just poor

I must have imagined the comments by the Rovers fans about Ellis limping out before the Leeds game then

I'm sure KR fans did but it is still poor form to wish injuries on players

Well said

I'd go with Whiting at 6 on Friday, yes westerman is the more creative player but whiting has never let us down before and has an excellent rugby brain (and a half-decent kicking game). By all means give westy more freedom with the ball and get him linking up in attack but I'd put whiting there solely for his reliability.

We won't pick up anyone up on loan around the Easter period so Whiting to 6 is the only option. It's a no brainer.

Knew something like this was happening with Holdsworth. Said as much in various threads over the last 3 weeks.

Not surprised at all when he pulled out of the Widnes game and could sense something was wrong.

Hope to see him back soon.

You simply cannot take any chances with a head injury,no game is worth some ones health,hope holdsworth has a speedy recovery ,but what ever may ,his health comes first.
