coolie Posted April 20, 2022 Share Posted April 20, 2022 If we don't get favourable results in our next 2 games.... We'll be dual regging with Bradford next season Many a true word said in jest 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John_Don Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 Peltier had torn his groin muscle away from the bone. Hence why it’s taken him so long to come back - which is to be expected, with such an injury. As for the rest I believe Ferguson is unsuccessful with passing his head test and I believe he maybe taking a back seat I.e. not coming back for the rest the season. So you can rule him out for good. Aren’t we duel reg with Hull KR? Why we not asking for players from them? We’re desperate for forwards! We need a pack to drive and bully they’re way through.

Real shame for Ferguson with World Cup this autumn. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
silcoates Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 I'd love to know,all these players we get , week in week out ,do our coaches actually monitor them to see how good they are. I get the feeling we say just send anybody that's free. What ever the excuses ,for at least the past 2 seasons it hasn't worked.The frying pan and the fire is getting awfully close.

Crown Flatter Posted April 23, 2022 Share Posted April 23, 2022 (edited) The DR players we receive from HKR are one hit wonders (okay, so they are neither hits nor wonders) and Tate goes from playing for us to playing against us tomorrow, something I don’t understand. I didn’t know we were in a DR relationship with any other club, but according to the club website, North Wales Crusaders have taken Aaron Hall on DR, “to give him game time”. If we are short of forwards, wouldn’t it have been pertinent to allow him to have such time with our club? Edited April 24, 2022 by Crown Flatter 2 Legs, Dews, Legs.

One of the past two seasons we only played six games.

With the prop forwards we have available I’d say Hall is about the best of them. Might as well release him then send him to North Wales on DR.

The treatment of Aaron Hall is and has been staggering given the problems we have had, but the writing was on the wall when he continued to try and offload the ball in the tackle. No brownie points with our coach there. What I can’t understand is why LG resigned him for this season if he didn’t rate him. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He told me Fev had made him an offer he couldn't turn down. As for Aaron Hall, who knows. It's possible to get fit not playing, but I don't know either way.

(I presume that the answer is no.) I am not unilaterally defending our coaching but you seem to imply, initially, that everything was down to failures on LG's part. Then you criticise something that happened years before he came on the scene. Next you will be telling us that we wasted the Mick Stephenson money! 2 1 Sport, amongst other things, is a dream-world offering escape from harsh reality and the disturbing prospect of change.

Therein73 Posted April 25, 2022 Share Posted April 25, 2022 ............and after all the money that FEV have spent over the last few years, they remain in exactly the same division as ourselves ....... they might have had more fun along the way but they've also had better funding and a more 'generous' (deluded ??) benefactor than ourselves ...... they also have a town that's still steeped in and cares about it's Rugby League Team and has a far different demographic to that of Dewsbury ..... gates of <1000 and severe cuts in funding, plus the loss of the Car Boot sale 'money-spinner' for all those months, mean we are where we are not just because of perceived poor coaching. We ALL want Rams to be in the top half of the table and challenging for honours but somewhere there has to be a sense of reality about it all....... Who knows, once Abramovich sells Chelsea he might be at a loss as to what he does with his money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you'd expect he didn't provide me with details of his contract. But he left for more money than the Rams could offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do know but won't share it on a forum. Suffice to say it was about twice what we had been paying him, which in itself was more than Fax were prepared to offer him when he originally joined us.
