Thanks for the RH link DM.

Why is it that coaches feel the need to remind us reasons for some of the shortcomings of their team ?

RH said :

“They are a very clinical team and are full-time and have a bigger budget than we have and you could see that.”

Everyone knows the different budget makes a difference. Just about every coach interviewed at Toulouse since they came back to the C1 & C uses the budget excuse and the 'full-time' excuse. Why repeat the bleedin' obvious each time ?
If for example, the curent Dons squad trained full time would they be challenging Bradford at the top ? Answer 'no' because they don't have the same quality players. How for example can Fax compete at the top of the C against bigger budgets and full time squads ? Because they are coached better and the squad has been better recruited to name but two reasons.
fact is the current Dons squad doesn't look anywhere near good enough to compete at even this level so the reasons for this need to be addressed. Maybe RH is the right man but surely you can't polish a turd ?

Could play for the Dons if offered / selected.

Thank you for the replies and clearing up who is potentially available should we need them. It will be interesting DM as to who is in the Hull squad for the Wigan game.

Well spotted... I'd forgotten about him.

Hull have got to find 17 fit players I suppose, then they can start to think about who we can have.

Surely they'll realise the importance of the game and want to help out as much as they can.

I've just been trying to pick my preferred 17 if everyone (except Jordie) was available. It's pretty tough as there are at least two players I'm trying to fit in and I can't!

injured at the moment
not sure how long he will be out
