Its just a name in a squad to post on social media to please us fans, doesnt mean anything - they couldve put my name up there if they wanted in the 21 man squad But I did say “couldnt play him at the min” 18th man is closest hes been to getting in the 17 for ages i think, but that might have been more to do with Turner being in the 17 as hes been 18th man for weeks. Obviously the club will have been working on sorting out the error behind the scenes, hopefully there is light at end of tunnel but thats why he isnt playing anyway

Heres your answer to both Hatton is out of favour - cooke doesnt like him, hes not his type of player, he wasnt a cooke signing, he wants to get rid, Widnes & old club Swinton want him, would be gone now had O Connor been fit, but his injury curtailed him leaving out on loan As for Akouala, well thats the clubs fault regarding him, cocked up his visa so cannot play him at the min, nor can get rid of him either so he is limbo, not the players fault

Good time to play the broncos - i suspect a completely different team when they come to us later in the season Think Noble alluded to Bradford guilty of overplaying rather than a excellent London performance, said there was never a chance of a Bradford defeat Would not risk Reynolds if we dont need to, same with the weekend after in the 1895 cup just slot Lacans in there seen as Turner is injured Encouraging opening performance, id be disappointed if we dont come away with a victory
-
Thought Webb & Hatton were outstanding, Williams too not far behind - they look three excellent signings Disappointed in Boothroyd considering the pre season he had, completely anonymous in the second half Would not risk Reynolds next week or the week after if we can afford to - Lacans plays if so seen as Turner is injured Thought we played the conditions really well, think Donny were suprised at our go forward in the first few mins & it put them off their game. Richard Horne was very complementary of our performsnce afterwards offering no complaints A suprising plus too was the discipline - only think we gave away 2 pens & a six again in the whole game

Pretty sure Reynolds signed an 18 month deal when he re-signed so he would be in for 2025?
-
Surely if Hardy is not fit you move wynne into the centres & Wacokecoke comes back into the fold? Id be suprised if Gorman plays for us again. Think this is a game where we may get away with changes & rotation, after a good start, Haven have played very average the last couple of games, hopefully the weather is decent up there at the weekend

Dont agree they were “impressive against halifax” - 40-14 was a very flattering scoreline - they had a really poor 1st half & in the second half they got the 50/50 descisions & some of their tries came off very wicked bounces of the balls on the 3G pitch falling their way which 9 times out of 10 dont happen, but they say these bits of luck fall your way when you are at the top Most things go through Gilmore, with Owens in close support, if we stop these two then we have a good chance, which will increase if we get Reynolds again. Regarding injuries, i dont remember Springer coming out for the second half?

Even with players missing, im not as confident as some on here that much will change. I just cant see it The only difference i see when they are back is maybe the scoreline is switched the other way round in our favour - & we will win by 10pts With this years best 17 available (which i also dont think we will see once this season) i see victories by 4-10pts, with not a lot of points in the game & a lot of scraping by wins What we look to be serving up, I dont think we have a team this year that is capable of recording a comfortable win At the same time i also see a lot of potentially narrow defeats too We wont blow teams away like years gone by, but we wont get blown away either Everyone best get prepared for it - its going to be a very up & down year

Brad Day should hang his head in shame - i think he cost us the game tonight London were plodding in that set he got binned, made 20m & tip tackles the player on the 5th tackle London score 18pts whist hes off & win the game Left the comeback too late when London were gassed in that last 20 but it would have papered over the cracks in reality Manage to catch Kyle Amors summary of us at the end of the game - poor signings mixed in with turmoil on & off the pitch - he is bang on Do not see us getting amongst the elite in my lifetime & im only in my 30’s - i see seasons of struggle ahead now IMG are in, support will tail off big style Regarding 2024 Im also another supporter who is not investing in a season ticket next year & will pick their games - Wakefield H at the minute is the only game im semi interested in going to

Widnes gave that up in the last 20 mins but were utterly dominated in the second half - I dont think they got into our 20 at all in that second period, never mind look like posting any points, another season goes by where Widnes are put to the sword Thought Leilua had a good game - he started to come good as the playoffs were about to begin last season & history is repeating itself, some strong running throughout from all & we scored a couple of good tries Nice week off now to shake off the niggles & watch the others knock 10 bells out of each other
