I'd be happy to go with Staveley and Severs (or Jebson) for the rest of the year. It would be nice to use his money on a half or a decent centre though.

Could be a blessing if he goes as we could then bring in a 7 .


In all fairness I’d not blame him if he went home, he’s hardly set the world on fire with his performances, doesn’t look all that committed and the mess we are seeing in terms of on field product you wonder whether the training aspect or lack of could be a factor.

I remember when we were heavily involved in the ice hockey and a player came over with very good numbers but failed to produce when here. I got on well with him and when he said he wasn’t settling and going back I asked how come and his answer was the standard of training was poor and a couple of hours a day wasn’t enough for what he was used to.

Not saying it’s is the case but if it true Okunbor isn’t settling I wonder whether that has bearing if training isn’t exactly taxing or full days






I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!

While I think your a right that would be a very high risk strategy, without improvement im not renewing my pass. Ill take my chances streaming games and lets face it theres 15k empty seats to choose from if you want to buy a ticket.

Odd tactic by Pearson if he is deliberately running the team that way.

If (When?) he sells the club, then the only entity he can sell is the team (Players), the worse the team does then the value of his investment diminishes exponentially, as the fan base drifts away. .

It’s pretty obvious we are short of cash and that’s got to play out somewhere

It still costs a fortune to rent the stadium

Covid loans are killing us

We had no real income for 2 years

Adam doesn’t have a business like Fudgell etc

Adam is doing all he can - he really is

It’s hard when you’re juggling cash all the time and suck’s your motivation

It’s also effecting his ability to manage the Head Coaches !!!






I have lost interest

Which of our 7 overseas players would you be disappointed if they left tomorrow.

I'd say only Ese Ese.

Think that says how poorly we use our overseas quota.

Think Hoy and Brown are both good players, but Hoy never seems to get a chance to get going, put him in the Leigh, you would see a different player, Brown needs to play at 9, he isn't a 7, could maybe be a 6, but needs to playing with someone better than Smith.

I don't know how hard the training is or if it is p iss easy. What I do know if the players are that ar sed about it how come as professional rugby players they give an aura of I couldn't give a s.hit when teams break the line or score a try. That's not down to the coach or training that's personal and professional pride . Our players seem to lack that

Nu brown was a good example of that in this clip https://www.facebook.com/share/r/omnVpDYSkoAmxdGf/ just watches them rather than attempting a chase back

What annoyed me was we made 4/5 breaks in the game and not once was anyone backing the player up.






Always the Optimist never the Pessimist. Glass Half full not half empty man me.
