Would be great if Crookes were available for this one - know he got injured ar Swinton but I've not seen an update since. I wouldn't touch the forward pack who more made up for their lack of size with their enthusiasm both in attack and defence. If we can play with our normal halves, fullback and either Salty or Tibbs on the wing id give us a fighting chance of an upset. A good performance and hopefully a win vital not just for championship survival but for the impact it could have on optimism and season ticket sales for next season.

I once saw MG in a pub in Fax, he was a decent enough chap albeit a tad eccentric with a passion for his team. I did let him know my feelings for the bulls so perhaps i'm partly to blame for his rantings regarding Fax. Lol!

Yep, that was his mate Jimmy but between him and Mick, Jimmy comes across as being the more balanced by far of the two.

I think it was the SMTM guy, Craig Harrison?, so presuming a lot of the info is leaked from him and when it comes to agents is usually to try and drive up prices to clubs.

It does seem to be true that Muzza has been offered the job but if he takes or not wll be another matter. Some idle gossip on Sunday was that all new singings for next season have been given the option of getting out of their contracts. I have no idea how true it is but it would make sense as any new coach is going to want to bring their own players in rather than have a full pre season/season with someone elses signings.

The first time the I heard the rumour of players being given the option to look elsewhere to secure a safer deal was when the chance of us going bust hit the news so whether what you heard Sunday is connected with that and or Muzza coming in?

Should Finn go then any coach coming in now at this late stage will be stuck with a large part of the present squad and any signings already on the dotted line as most players will have been signed up to clubs months ago.

Trying to find available players of quality at this late stage will be nigh on impossible. There may be a few young SL players that are being offloaded free but any of those that have the ability to improve our squad will have gone.

TThat is my opinion , but hope it is wrong.
