So one possibly leaving before season has started. Parata, siti and palumbo arent here yet. Wellington is still injured. Do the they know we have a competitive game on the 30th? Widnes have been training together as a full squad since December... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im assuming Leyland and Horsman were there is because the Australian lads aren't yet returned, Parata and Siti , that'll be the starting 9 and 1. Were you at the session then? What was it like? Do you know if everyone back and eligible for 30/1? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree - if O’Donnell has left, where to? And what does that tell us about what’s happening? Coach issue or personal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It wouldn't be a London preseason without someone leaving before a ball is kicked. Usually some Northerner with homesickness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

London fans used to these sort of prices, but usually comes as a shock to the travelling fans. I remember a few years ago in a game I think vs Batley hearing a mum not believing her kids when she gave them £10 to get 2 burgers and they came back with no change. She was like £5 for a Burger !!!!!!, she must have been moaning about the price for over 10 mins Same with the beer prices where price of a pint in london usually equals 3 pints in Yorkshire Edited January 20, 2022 by crashmon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully we can get a replacement quickly. To be fair, he didn't look as though he was int best nick at a training session prior to Christmas and he was always going to be behind Parata. I don't see a real loss here,or else he'd of been kept or atleast held onto if there were no one else int depth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cowboy Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 Open training session int stadium lastnight I attended along with some other members. Must say,class atmosphere there at Plough Lane,be a right day with bums on seats there. Squad looked large in numbers,from what I could tell and were told,all players were there with the exception of the Fijian lad Siti. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How did we look in terms of set piece training etc? And we've always needed big forwards up-front - do we look ok for size? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't look like a team in shambles like some 'supporters' bang on about ere. They need another big middle,there's some size on the pitch and looks like a decent 13. But the bench,I think is where the size and quality could cost us later int games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've spend 000's on this club since I started following them in the late 90's, 3 Gold ST holders for most of that time, new kits every year etc. But this latest vanity move to go to a joke of a squad compared to the squad we had in the champ between 2014 to 2018, just so he can eat pie and mash in a shiny stadium has killed any chance of me spending any more when it comes to LB. Fool me once shame on you, Fool me twice shame on me, and this current lot running LB have fooled me for the last time 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm saying no use moaning about the squad or the stadium if you don't know ought about either like ! Go to the stadium or a training session and have a geeze at the lads or how the coach goes about his business. Not saying it's as good as the 2018 lot but it's not total doom like some are banging on bout that's why I've gone to see my mysen.There is some goodens there I think,after seeing first hand.If can add, a impact prop off bench and a more experienced half we could be fairly competitive.
