shrewsbury roughyed Posted February 18 Share Posted February 18 Could do with a couple or three Wigan dual reg forwards to help out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManchesterYed Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Going into the first competitive game with four fit prop forwards is very concerning, the Wigan side we played didn’t exactly offer much quality from what I’ve been told and we dominated in the middle part of the field. Please go and sign three strong running prop forwards mr.Hamilton. Doncaster by 34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tandle Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 m.y oldham only have 3 props on their books. nelmes newton and blagbrough, and newton is injured. not looking good is it ? and by the way m.y great win for swinton. first batley then barrow 4 points already.

shrewsbury roughyed Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 Swinton doing very well. Doncaster beat a fancied Hunslet. I think this will be a tough one if our boys. Treat it like a final warm up gam, for me. Winning in the league is our priority. Last thing we want (though financially it would be good) is drawing a tough Championship or SL side in the next Cup round and getting even more injuries to our small and decreasing squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroyales Posted February 20 Share Posted February 20 We've shouting out for weeks for the need for some props, but it seemed to have fallen on deaf ears. Being realistic who would be available now? The only option we have is players on loan but again so early on in the season I can't see teams releasing anybody. Like Shrewsbury said lets treat the up as another pre-season warm up and keep away from injuries, especially in the props! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clifford Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 Challenge cup - pre season friendly - no never. Has the ambition gone? Maybe it's nearly 30 years since the last semi final appearance at Huddersfield but come on get some fire in the belly. At the present time we are far removed from where we were 25 years ago. It's been a steady decline. Comments like pre season friendly for the Challenge Cup just cements how far we have fallen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroyales Posted February 21 Share Posted February 21 I agree but you have to be realistic. I feel we have little chance of beating Doncaster, so just get the game over and avoid any injuries, like I said before, in the prop department. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

clifford Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I appreciate your sentiment but isn't it down to years of under investment, under achievement and being drip fed poor performance after poor performance. As much as I love the club, I see the lack of ambition. In the 21st century what have we achieved? 1. A season when we lost every league game. 2. More seasons in the bottom semi pro league 3. A league 1 championship 4. Fordy nearly got us to superleague. 5. Losing to lock lane. For me it just showed me how far we had fallen. Yes I might sound all doom and gloom but I might as well watch either Saddleworth or annes for the same Standard of rugby and a lot cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroyales Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I can't disagree with Clifford but the important thing is we still have a club. We just need the Qataris to see the great opportunity there is in taking over our great club. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jroyales Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 50nil to Doncaster. Could it be Littler has also realised that this game is a game to get out of the way to avoid injuries to his small squad. I won't be going and I hope the fans who do go prove me wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the best, thats a good bit of PR, though I would say the Bedford team, theres, like, you know, 13 blokes who can get together at the weekend to have a game together, which doesnt point to expansion of the game. Point, yeah go on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Art of Hand and Foot Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Well, defeat from the jaws of victory. On the bright side it was away, it took a sin binning for them to get back in. Oh and it wasn't the panning predicted by some. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrewsbury roughyed Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 I couldn’t get there unfortunately, but it finds like we have some good things to build on. Donny were always going to be favourites given their squad, home advantage and their extra competitive game. One of their lads scored four tries- a centre I think- which suggests we have some defensive work to do on one side. A shame not to hold on but far from a disaster, I would think. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jroyales Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Great result considering what's just been said. Any injuries? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManchesterYed Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Some Very impressive individual performances given the circumstances and some not so much, you Chuck in Morgan, Newton, Sheridan and Wilkinson into that team and maybe a few others I’ve missed out it starts to look positive. Plenty to build on. Please bring in two experience prop forwards Mr.Hamilton to help out these talent half backs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
