Re: Super League’s 12th club to be announced on Monday

Disappointed but not surprised. Leigh probably have the best squad at this point but they'll really struggle to survive on only half the cash of the other super league teams. I wanted Toulouse but they may well benefit from missing out this time around. They'll now be in a league without the team th...

Re: George Burges

Perhaps we'll never know the full story but I can't help feeling that resolving the George Burgess problem is the key to us winning or just going close again next season. Best case scenario is that he recovers his fitness and performs at his best next season but I don't belive that's possibe. Let's ...

Re: Joe Greenwood Leaving ?

Joe hasn't been at his best since his first season and, although his form in the latter part of this season was good, I don't think Lammy sees him as a starter (i.e. first 13). He has had probelms with head knocks that seemed to affect his confidence and unfortunately for him, he doesn't give the im...

Re: Bradford Bulls planning Odsal return whether they get in Super League or not

I always thought that Cumbria should have a super league side, despite the problems with a widespread population, until I saw an interview with Leon Pryce on Rugby AM recently. He said that while he was coach at Workington he asked the local players if they thought a super league side would work and...

Re: Reflections on this season

Looking forward to next season really helps to ease the pain of Friday at least temporarily. Although it does look promising for us I don't think it's a given that we'll catch saints next season. It worries me whem Lammy says that we could dominate (may have been misquoted) and many of our more posi...

Re: Josh Charney

An interesting one but I'm not sure why wire would let him go. I think we need to sign a winger given the current situation - We've lost Budgie and I think it's unlikey that Marshall will return to his best form next season. He'll do well to just make it back into the team by the end of the season. ...

Re: Forwards vs Saints

I'm assuning that Sam P is playing when I make these suggestions - Bench should be Smithies, Lockers, Greenwood and Smith. I'd go with Smith because he gives us some variation plus protects against game changing injuries to the halfbacks/hooker. He also gives us the option of spelling Sam or Tommy i...

Re: Hastings

Let's not forget that Smith hadn't played for several weeks. Lammy chose not to play him in that Huddersfield game (so that G. Burgess could play?). I thought on balance, Harry played well enough to merit serious consideration next week. If Powell isn't fit surely Harry must play. The main problem w...

Re: 21-man squad vs Hull FC

Our starting proprs were great and I thought that Partington was immense. He continues to improve and does so much of the hard stuff. Shame to see Flower go off injured, no chance of him playing next week which weakens us a bit. Greenwood back and wait and see about Powell?

Re: Hastings

Interesting that Lammy just said that is always thought Jackson was a 9. He then seemed to let slip that Jackson would play there next week before covering himself by saying he'd wait and see how the players went in the week. Does anybody know the details of Sam P's situation?
