A bit of strike now please!

London Broncos site has reported that Dixon has rejoined them on a 2 year deal. As I wasn't a fan of his, I'm not too upset. No defence, too gaffe prone and too wannabe jazz hands. He must have been related to that nob Ainsley Harriot.

Going forward Kieran you need to keep it much more simple mate or else you'll be back at Hemel Stags in 2019.

Thanks and good luck to him and expect we'll see him at CP next year.

So 10 metres out and running onto a Tilse off load, which one would you bet your house on to score ?

Greenwood or Blair

Ouch! Harsh! Remember Delbert being quite funny...& he did a great David Bewwamy.

Definitely Greenwood. It was imperative that he stayed. I think next year, he will be the most sort after player outside superleague.

What is your point? Are you suggesting Blair and Greenwood are not quality?

No both have qualities, Bobby is his defence and ball playing, be that passing or more often kicking. Greenwood is a talent to be nurtured but not certain if he's a prop or running second row yet.
My point is defences in the championship are not of a superleague standard. A brave, strong running second row will score at ease, but it's about the lines they run. Think Newton & Galea.
Last season Gareth Hock dominated defenders for Leigh, and that's the kind of player we should be looking to sign ( but without his baggage)

You started by talking about quality not quantity which suggested that we have plenty of second rowers but non of quality. I believe we do have sufficient quality at second row for the championship and I gave examples. Arguably the best second row in the division. You now seem grudgingly to acknowledge what I said. However your use of Hock as the type of player we should be signing is unrealistic as he was only playing for Leigh because of his baggage. Without the baggage he would still have been playing for a top Superleague side. He probably would have been pocketing a winners medal with Wigan.

Is callum Lancaster available or is he still under contract ?

Released I believe or expected to be

Thread's too long to read, so sorry if this has been covered, but Terry Campese is replacing Simon Woolford as captain/coach of Quenbeyan Blues next year. Woolford is coaching Newcastle reserve grade. There's also a bit on Tilse in this article. www.theherald.com.au/story/42732 ... ed/?cs=306

you have signed a young lad from Donny so the team building continues looks like a Peacock signing

I don't begrudge you your opinion, after all that's what any debate is built on. But I still maintain that after 25 minutes of Greenwood and Co working an opposition defence, if you can then bring on an impact second row the points will follow. I don't some how see Donaldson, Horne or Clarkson striking fear into the heart of our appornants.
As you acknowledge Hock is still a top player, and in tandem with Patterson last season gave Leigh the edge. This is what we don't have yet. But hopefully there is still time and space in the squad.

Have to agree clarkson is gash imo, Donaldson is a tryer and gives his all but lacks the size,we need to address the backs, I could maybe see one more prop coming in but I doubt any more in the back row

Nothing has changed in back row department. Need a Michael Smith style big unit to add power and offloads.this has been the case for 4 or 5 season although Con Mika could have been the answer if he had bothered to try

When you look at the team now it looks like a back up team when we have injures for the last couple of years we have not had back up and had to use our good players out of position but maybe now we have the back up

How many quota places do we have to play with in the championship?

Same as SL we have 5 left I think

I thought it was less for some reason, you would of thought one would be used on a half back.... Can't remember where I read about Quinlan and Hastings but I can't see them coming

You get 7 non federation players, not even sure the quota is in place anymore.

Although England were cackamalla, I thought Danny Addy had a half decent game for Scotland against England earlier imo. Some flashes of creativity and half decent in defence. He didn't look out of place that's for sure.

Anybody disagree?

Did Scott Taylor play?

Class player Addy maybe why he's just signed a deal with a championship side. For one of the best coaches in the world, again at a championship side.

taylor got beasted by a centre first carry and dropped the flippin ball ginger juggler not good enough t play in a champion team so signed for the sharks

Thought he was better than Brough today, not that says much he was awful.

Taylor did play, watch the bits were Scotland were on top, he was on then.
