Last season played only 11 games This season is worse only eight league games and one cup match. Out of the eight league games he started only four with the other four off the bench. my opinion is he is finished as a top front row. If we can find two big experienced forwards then we have a pack that can compete with most teams. Reynolds is another doubt due to past injuries and whether he goes another season will depend on how bad this current injury is but he has intimated his possible retirement. The less said about Sneyd the better.We have a non running,erratic passer of a ball who can kick goals but cant tackle so my concern is at halfback because we are stuck with Sneyd but could lose Reynolds.
Cant really disagree.
Bowden is finished as a SL forward, does a 10 minute stint and goes through the motions. I really want Taylor to be the player of old, but as you say this is 2 seasons of injuries now. Think the years of carrying the pack has taken its toll.
I've been told we've signed 1 overseas prop and a SL fed trained prop, but no idea who or if this is true.
We need cover at half. Ben McNamara isn't ready yet. I've mentioned Hampshire in a previous thread who would be perfect for us. If we can get someone of his quality I'd loan McNamara out for 2022 or let him develop in the reserves.

Hooker is a massive issue for us too.
Announced earlier that Sene-Lefao is leaving Cas, could he be the fed trained player? I've long since lost track of RL's quota rules!

Federation trained player is any player who came through a federation academy (basically an UK based academy). JSL came through at Manly and is this a non fed player.
Also one of the Cas players commented “good luck at the dragons you’ll love the sun” or similar on his Social media announcement posts - assume he will be a like for like replacement for Joel Tomkins

Cross your fingers everyone!
Assuming it happens, how do you know it will be good news for FC?

Like everyone else I have absolutely no idea. I just wondered why the poster was so confident things would be better for FC. Being dependent on a landlord always has potential difficulties. A good one can sell to one not so good and vice versa.

Because I can't see how anything can get worse, we are already receiving a minimal service from our Landlords that I suspect is the minimum allowed in the contract. I'm working on a things can only get better basis!
