Zak Hardaker interview :

“We expect to win every week , we want to win. Not happy if we’re not in some kind of play off Challenge Cup type of thing”

“ Logan Moy has really come on leaps and bounds since last season “

I’m getting a bit excited !

Aroused?

It’s early Xmas Eve here
lol
I’m a tad excited

Semillon

I don’t think it matters that much as natural leaders will lead regardless but DT just narrowed down the captaincy shortlist to Herman, Lane, Sezer, Cartwright and Asiata.

Enjoyed the Hardaker interview, had his off-field issues but there is no denying he speaks about and understands the game very well. A proven winner pretty much everywhere he's gone who I think will be a big asset for us during his time here.

Heard Rapana has picked up an injury now .

Can they please focus on
Discipline !
Stop the bastud penalties
We saw this in the last game of the season v Dragons in the first half

We were on course to win the game then gave away 6 penalties as in 6 again etc
Dropped the ball 3 times as well and boom we lose the game by half time !!

We must focus on the small things - penalties 6 agains and drop balls !

Also touch finders must improve massively as they are a gift to you and we don’t use them !

The small things make the most massive difference
I watch Storm regularly and they are the masters of discipline

They complete at about 85% plus most game sometimes they complete every set until mid way through the second half and that’s the discipline we need

anyone notice a reduced number of first team pre season matches, looks like most teams (apart from the leeds/wakey boxing day money maker) are only playing once vs SL opposition

I wonder whether friendlies count towards the number of minutes players are allowed to play with the new rules coming in this year. Could be a factor potentially?

There's also the guarantee of Super League clubs playing a lower league team in the Cup as the first competitive fixture, so clubs may look at that as an additional semi pre season match.
