To be honest not to bothered about missing out on Page very average he will never make it in the NRL

You say that but he left Rovers with a year still on his contract by playing the ‘going home’ card only to rock up at the AJ within a year.



Having said that, it sounds like he has a plan and good luck to him, was a great servant for us.

Aye, I suppose. But it felt to me that he genuinely wanted another crack at the NRL, just as Josh Hodgson did when he went the following year.

And he did a season over there, whereas Moon moved straight to Leeds.



Kris Keating turned out to be an oddly inadequate replacement for Dobson. Not out-and-out bad, a bit overweight maybe but not quite Albert Kelly in early 2016, and he seemed to trying. Still only 29 now. I guess some players just lose their mojo in one way or another.

I think Dobson genuinely wanted another crack at the NRL before it was too late I don't think he tried to hoodwink us I n anyway I think we got the best years of his career out of him probably our biggest success in the SL era

I’m surprised that they haven’t enquired about Jordan Lilley as he’s definitely down the pecking order at Leeds.

I’d park it for the time being and let Atkin have a 6-8 game run to bed himself in. Let’s not forget he’s only been full time 6 months so it’s a huge step up for him. The early signs are encouraging.



Save the cap space and quota spot for a right nasty of a forward later in the year.

Yeah, I think that’d be the way to go. No idea who it’d be, mind you.

Thing is though if one of ower half’s get injured it’s marsh or lee as back up we do need another half in the squad with good experience

Agree did they not say that they were going to get one but no mention since

According to TS in today's HDM a new half is not now on the agenda.

Makes sense, its not priority right now. I think we need some edge strike, centre or 2nd row with pace and size.



Up to now I don't think we've struggled to make yards or create repeat sets / pressure but have lacked in executuion. that to me is more options for the halfs rather than them not creating.

Have to disagree if McGuire gets a knock he will put Matty Marsh in the half’s and don’t think Atkin and marsh at half backs will keep us up agree we do need a stronger running second row but we need a half as well

Surely keiren moss would be worth a shot in the case of injurys,put quinlan to off half and moss full back,or the other way round.Good player wasted.imo.

It's an 'if' though - and there'd maybe an option to loan somebody like Lilley for a month, if needed.



IMO we still need some more power in the pack. Tbf, from TS's interviews I think he's focused on good kick chases to gain ground on exit sets rather than adding a lot more grunt - but there's always a balance to be struck.



In the halves, we might struggle if we get injuries. In the pack, I fear we'll struggle at full strength. We've reached the stage of almost celebrating matching (or [inearly[/i matching) other teams' packs - such is the relief at not being blown away down the middle. And last weeks' game was quite encouraging. However, it's not like our backs are good enough for that to give us a great chance of victory. We need to be capable of winning the forward battle some weeks, if we're to have a shot at 8th or above.

Well done Danny Tickle !

I am happy sheen is keeping faith in Chris Atkins, think he could be a gem and the difference in us making top 8 or not, but what is disappointing is still no mean aggressive forward. Its ok just beating the teams your expected to be with in bottom 4. But when you go up against top 4 teams except Leeds, we will get mauled. Leeds were there for the taking but silly mistakes on there line and ours cost us.. lets hope junior vaivai gets his visa soon. Gets a few games at York and makes a impression in our team

I’d make an offer for Jason Clark if I was mr sheens sound like he wants to come and he knows he will not get another contact with souths he’s the type of player we need and can’t see souths say no tbh

He'd be a decent signing for any SL club, good age too.



Your back row is dreadful. You have Blair who can't tackle, Greenwood who makes about 4 meters per carry, and Clarkson who's not particularly good at anything.

I presume you have given your pearls of wisdom to TS as I don’t suppose he reads this forum

Blair is a decent SR makes good yards misses a couple of tackles in the matches you'd probably watched but he was covering for his centre imo him and Salter were very strong against Catalans

We also have Donaldson and Lawler to comeback in the SR also

Bair is a good player ,greenwood is good some games but needs to do more but is only young so will come in the end , Clarkson is a good squad player and is a grafter gets through the tuff stuff but not a starting player, we do need a big strong running second row in the starting 13 I’d say bobby bair would be a perfect lose forward don’t no why he never gets played there a strong runner with a good kicking game

Cracking young player is Lawler. He can go far in this sport.
