If Burge goes then we get a skip to the head of the queue for a prop

There is no knee jerk reaction is being frustrated this issue has not been addressed by now.

Even if this gets sorted out today it will have been one of the slowest fixes ever.

Not as slow as Warringtons....

Who have won a challenge cup and are much better placed to continue to challenge than we are.

I will look to the moment, and miraculously, the future will take care of itself.

I mean since they were last succesfull... And i don't agree, we are very close to having a good team/squad...

And pretty much exactly what I was trying to say in a thread I created a couple of months ago entitled "Turning the Ship around".

I tried to point out that the change in fotunes didnt't happen overnight from relegation to Champions - It happened in small stages AND sometimes we had to take a backward step to get there i.e selling our best player in Fairbairn to create funds etc to strengthen the squad first.

Some poster say Graham Lowe!
I say Maurice Bamford, Alex Murphy, Clarke/McCinnes & Then Lowe!

Some say Andy Gregory
I say Jinkin Jimmy, Gary Stevens,Keith Holden, Mike Ford then Andy Gregory!

There are many other parallels but in essence the stories the same.

It Took Mo 6 years to win a CC and 8 to win a League title without the Hinderence of Salary Cap etc and he did it IMO in small steps!

To quote you i think....
