He provides good experienced cover across a wide number of positions we are a little short in He probably comes pretty cheap on the SC. Matty Peet knows him well, and we know how focused he is on getting the right type of player in with the right attitude so I think I'd trust his judgement on this o...

Am I correct in thinking he's played allot of Union?

Would explain the tendency to kick.

Looks a promising player from what I've seen

Wigan also retained Bevan French with an approach that many could see as 'soft' . Giving him plenty of time to make a decision, not put pressure on him etc. Many were calling for him to be told sign or go. If it had been a take it or leave it by this date I'm pretty certain he would be at Newcastle ...

I think the important point is that Wigan received a supposedly decent fee for John. If it was a case of leaving for nothing then maybe they wouldn't have been so accommodating ? Player wants to leave, Australian partner who (probably) wants to go back home, probably won't be 100% focused, on marque...

1) Time for KPP to start to move from potential to deliver more 80 min performances - which I think is a good point in his career to do this and now he gets the opportunity. 2) We finally have strength in the centres so less need for 2nd rows to go to the centre role consistently which has to be a s...

It was a really frustrating game. Our attack seemed really disorganised most of the game, when we did get Field position we panicked a little and just pushed it too far, execution was just off. I think it was telling that in a tough game we didn't have a experienced controlling half. Lomax would hav...

Croft has had a great 2nd half of the season, I 'm happy with him or Field getting it.

Field probably didn't get the point he deserved on making many of the tried in the 2nd half of the season and French would have taken most of them.

Picked for the Knights squad to use up some of the expected ban...........

In some ways having Powell in the team means we need a decent ball playing 13 in the style of Cam Smith or SOL. This is obviously the role they have Shorrocks in mind for, but we seem to favour 4 props on the bench so our attacking points of difference are limited. Makes.it easy to focus defenders o...

Watched St Helens yesterday and the place kicks was outstanding and showed how to break down a tight defence, we just cannot rely on 3 players with speed to burn and need more attacking points. Exactly what i've been saying, Saints practice their kicking to perfection. Everyone right on the onside ...
