His long kicking game is pretty good, he usually finds space when kicking into touch, he pegged a 50m drop goal under pressure a couple of years ago too. The only real thing we're lacking is someone who will take 40/20s and drop goals. I think we were bottom of the stack for both of those stats last year

Nah he's right, Leeds also scored just one DG and 3 40/20's , same as us. That site keeps erroring though, especially if you say click on DG to get most to least, Leeds disappears & atm there's 2 Wire teams and 2 Catalan teams amnd Hull KR pop up. Must be something to do with the 8's but I don't know where Leeds have gone from the table. You can see the Leeds stats when you first bring them up. 2nd team down and look across , he's right.



Saying that the DG thing doesn't really worry me too much.. The FT issue, although not bad & can be improved on next season. Saying that at the end of this season, really only Cas and Hudds have a significant amount at 11 and 9, Leigh got the next best at 7 and look where they are.

Like i said, i'm not sure what part of the season that table is counting but there are some really surprising stats on there and it's hard to find patterns to explain league positions. For example how can Warrington make the most meters but not finish in the top 8?

Is Pauli Pauli back in the frame.

He's in this one!

Just saw an instagram conversation between Pauli and (?) and his sister.. when she asked when he was leaving... his response was in two weeks (and she wanted to make sure she saw him before he left!



Read into that what you will!!!

Nipping out for a paper that’s all.

signed for a super league club but not named as yet

Do people still buy papers???

Yep. League express and weekly

As he been announced yet?

No

It has gone very quiet regarding him.



Having said that, maybe there are bigger fish to fry, with other pressing issues involving the club at the moment.



Could it also be that we are looking at someone else who may be involved in the World Cup, should the talks break down.

You'd have to think with Kear, Finn and Grix out there we would be thinking about opportunities.



Lots of talent on show and not all signed to NRL clubs.

Well he`s here in the UK.

That sounds promising.



I was talking again to the bloke who runs the chippy I go in last week, and we were talking about Ryan Hampshire.



He was quite cryptic, but apparently we have also been linked to a player from Warrington, but he wouldn't mention any names.



Wasn't Daryl Clark rumoured to be unsettled a while ago

Who is?

Strange you mention that, i know it really means nothing but Pauli Pauli popped up on my Instagram feed last week and followed Fifita, Randell, a few other players in the squad and Ryan Hampshire all at once.



I`ve heard Matty Russells name been banded about also, whether theres any truth in that what so ever i dont know.

PP

Strange that, cos near us there's a guy works down the chip shop who swears he's Elvis!

There is but he's not at George a Green!

I’ll bet you he isn’t?

Well that's me told ! LOL.



I was just going of his Instagram story a few days back that had the word "Manchester" sprauled across it..
