phildog Posted August 3, 2021 Share Posted August 3, 2021 Anybody actually know why Hooley, Broughton, Tonks, Lillycrop, Bowman are all still not under consideration? Tonks was supposed to have a small knock, spoke to Bowman at Swinton match, said he'd be 3 weeks etc etc. Have I missed anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the Newcastle game, Hooley was wearing a padded boot on his foot, so assume that he is still injured from that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most clubs seem to have at least a couple of players on Covid isolation and often don't name them, for whatever reason. Maybe one or other of these is in this camp? Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phildog Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Obviously not or else they're on the covid protection list as if they were fit we wouldn't have been short. BTW after all the fuss of this last week, we only missed 1 training session and 15 of yesterday's squad played just a week ago at Widnes....

phildog Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 Yesterday? Not in the slightest. Didn't turn up at kick-off, gave 12 away from unnecessary mistakes. Got back in it at half-time then gave ourselves, pardon the pun, an uphill task to which which we never rose from the first kick. Fell for every usual Featherstone trick and allowed ourselves to be dominated. The only thing we did well was tackle under such pressure, at one point weren't there 30 tackles in our 25? Suppose a 15 point defeat wasn't bad but no excuses could cover the fact that there was little in the way of guile or go forward up the hill. First time since some bad old days that I left 5 minutes before the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you say we didn't turn up at the kick off, you did notice we were attacking when they intercepted? I always stay to the end to applaud them off for the effort put into playing for our club. This felt important to do yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill H Posted August 9, 2021 Share Posted August 9, 2021 When you complain Phil that you would like to know more about injuries, unavailable players etc then you have my sympathy; I like to know these things. I cannot complain about the players efforts on the field of play though. At full strength and given our form I think that we would have been in with a chance of causing an upset. When you can only field seventeen players by including a player who retired some years ago then you can bet your bottom dollar that some of the seventeen are also carrying niggles that make them less effective. At least one player looked to be limping during the warm up. We clearly missed the cutting edge that Hall and Hooley have been providing and perhaps the toughness that Browny (and Tonks) provide but given the limitations of the side they worked really hard and put up a good show in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct missed a captain’s run which is the most important session of anyone’s preparation of a game week 3/4 year ago that would of been 50/60 points+ under lingard we won’t see that as he’s coached us better for the best http://tombatley.wordpress.com/ Give it a read..

I think he has turned you completely around since Diskin was moved on. I'm sure I'll think of something funny to say soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildog Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 Bi11, as I said elsewhere of the 17 who started on Sunday, 15 had been in the 17 at Widnes the week before, Johnson was a returnee, not a body from nowhere, which leaves 1 player never in the set up.
