I'd just like the club to give game time to Halsall. Although he's 19 there's a lot of experience around him. Hopefully Thornley will get a run of games.
A back line of Field, French, Halsall, Thornley, Marshall, Cust and Smith surely is something we've got to give game time to.

I'd agree with the above, my only question mark is with Smith being the 7 we rely on for 28 games a season, if I could change anything, I'd keep Smith who's still developing and love maybe a 7 like Theo Fages, whos been around the block and had success.

Good shout Ted 😊 I like Halsall & think given a run of games will prove to be an excellent centre 😊
Anyone can support a team when it is winning, that takes no courage.
But to stand behind a team, to defend a team when it is down and really needs you,
that takes a lot of courage. #18thMan

Why, he’s got to get experience & he won’t get it with your suggestion. He played a lot of games last season with too much pressure on him but then again he was playing with Hastings & wasn’t getting much advice from him!

You joking?

What’s he ever done?

You moan about players like Powell and Thornley but suggest Keinhorst who wasn’t good enough for a poor Leeds side ?
Where have I moaned about Thornley, that's DaveO's job

as for Keinhorst, I had a look through squad lists and Keinhorst stuck out due to him being loaned out in 2020 and 2021, IF Hull KR where willing to loan him out then I could see them letting him go for a fee, personally I'd rather have somebody better but unless a quota spot can be freed up then it's a bargain basement signing again, if in fact we do bother signing a player

Beginning to wonder if he even watches rugby on tv.
When have I criticised
Jai Field
Liam Marshall
Cade Cust
Patrick Mago
Big Willie
Liam Farrell
Kaide Ellis
Ethan Havard
Liam Byrne
Joe Shorrocks

To name many

I think he's still on the same deal he signed initially so I doubt he was on massive money as we brought him from the wilderness so hardly think he was on a fortune..
He was on very good money.

We had one but Lam messed him about big time!!

Just saying
