I have thought that too . Frank was a massive character at the Club .
Has his departure left a sour taste with some of his team mates ?
His leaving was very low key , lets hope the Club handled it correctly.

players come and go, cant see it leaving a sour taste tbf, defo think he was well liked but don't think he did it on the field, was chatting to scotty taylor in costa kingswood today and although he didn't go into anything to far he gave the impression everybody was looking forward to the new season

We seem to be going into the season making sure we're fresh for the play offs but if we amble into the early season games we'll not likely be in the play offs anyway. Looking at the fixtures we need to pick up points from some very winnable games at the start of the season

up until the wigan home game, they all look games we can collect points from


didnt go yesterday due to work commitments but it sounded we got caned from penalties too, something we need to eradicate

just hope the players aren't riding on last season thinking it will be the same!

It's amazing how much over analysis is happening after a few pre season games, as I've said we had a impressive pre season last year and very good first two games and then 3 disappointing results.

Think some are going a over top, let's wait and see how we get on against Wakey and maybe trust Radford.

Last year the first team only really played one game, against Rovers, so there has been little difference this year, in terms of player preparation, results haven't been great, but I think we will be fine.

I said a couple of weeks ago that we will miss big Frank on and off the pitch but we have to accept that we wouldnt have been able to sign Kelly without Frank leaving.Frank leaving has left us short of a Super League quality Front Row.
I dont think the defeat at Salford had anything to do with team morale it was more to do with lack of discipline.
Manu alone gave away 5 or 6 penalties in the first half and as Radford said we seemed to treat possession like we were still training in Portugal with no consequence for losing the ball and having to defend.
I think we will see the players Radford was not too pleased with get a run out at Doncaster together with Ellis,Green and Bowden who should all be fir enough to play part of the game.

Salfraud fan in peace! Thought u boys looked off yesterday and struggled in all areas. We seemed to get in front of your pack which was never possible last year. Thought sneyd played well but just generally thought we were the better team. Really happy with how our preseason and how it's gone, bar the injuries. I have a big affinity with u guys now after beating those Robin lovers who sang at us with 15 mins to go last season.
Am sure u will grow more and think uve recruited really well, just think Griffin's been bagged up too much. He attacks really well but defends like a winger, think ur half backs will click and be special.

Great turnout BTW and good luck for the season ahead
