the old nine ole

We need to start thinking of recruitment and retention now!! We have at least 2 week advantage over promotion hopefuls from L1 and relegation threatened Championship teams!

So... I thought seeing you were prepared to buy 700 pints if we lost ... the least I could do was buy you a pint when we won!! So... looking for you in the Royal after the game!!... No Coolie!! Of course you're in Blackpool!! .. shame you missed it ... the game and of course the pint!!

You should be proud of your team today ... they never gave up despite a few of them clearly carrying injuries.. your full back Burns was playing on one leg for over an hour .. he never gave up!! When he came off it was clear he was in excruciating pain... I hope you can regroup for the playoffs!!

There on the RFL match centre webpage

I see Ferguson is back in the squad... could be the difference! We always play better when he is in the team! Also Andy Gabriel listed ... but so is Lewis Carr.

I don't want us to lose Finny... but put yourselves in his place!! Here we are 1 win from the title and I don't think he has been offered a contract for next season!! What would you do?

Correct!! We got one of the players girlfriends to get us a beer from the corporate bar! ... mind we could always double up before they close!

Then why not use Turner.... also baffled!!

Is that for all 700 of us??

Regarding Jordan... If you look on the Rams stats page, on the website, you will note he is shown below the line!!!... with the others that have left the club!! Hardly an announcement but as near as we've got! Regarding Sunday ... If we can keep Myles Lawford ( on loan from the bulls) quiet we should be ok!

I think that team would win... but I'm guessing there's no Ferguson and doubts about Sam Day... So it will be very close!

Any news on when Sam Day might be back? ... I think we might need him to beat Hunslet!

I really hope Liam stays ... but has he been resigned for next season?? If he has great, but my guess is he hasn't been offered a contract for next season yet, similarly with many of the players, as we don't know which league we will be playing in. Who could blame him if he was offered a 2 year contract elsewhere! He has done a great job ... he has got the team playing rugby worth watching.... he has to be an attractive proposition for other clubs!
