With the 2 that are rumored to be leaving it has to mean major questions about our recruitment policy process.

Who's supposed to be leaving - I wouldn't be surprised at Doro and Maizen as unless currently injured they are 2 quality players who are not getting a look in. I have been one of Grix's staunchest supporters and still feel he's a good coach - but when you add King and Maher into the mix even I have to acknowledge that this seasons recruitment has been a bit of a disaster.

Heard Doro and Pickersgill yesterday at the game but I would assume Pickersgill would just be a loan to get some playing time, no way we would release him after bringing him in that would be bonkers.

Just seen on the Bulls forum the crowd was given as just over 4700. It didn't even feel like there were 2k there.

There are rumours JWH to Cas next season which would explain Pickersgill signing. I would be very disappointed if Doro does go as every game he's played he looks to put everything into it and had seemed almost a like for like replacement for Gwaze.No point in staying if not going to get picked - while we do have some good forwards currently in the team a fair number are to put it politely not getting any younger.

Foster was one of our best players against Wakey in pre-season, hasn't even got a look in. And why Cole Oakley is sticking around I have no idea, either he is good enough or he isn't, should know by now.

I’d give Grix till the end of the season. I just don’t feel we’ve pushed on since the surprising defeat to York in the Playoffs last year. At the moment the club seem to be backing him with players though.

Grix has no control over the players making mistakes and errors and they definitely aren’t doing it on purpose. But the Doro, King and Pickersgill scenarios leave a lot to be desired.

The only thing I can think about McComb been on the bench on Sunday was in case Wood had a bit of a mare. It would have given him the option to get McComb on and Salty to FB and JWH into the halves.

Also throw into the mix the departures of both Scott and Liam, Simon has now got full control over everything with potentially very little input from Anthony Irvine. Would be happy for the club to offer Leon Pryce a short term job as another assistant till the end of the year should Grix be open to it. Saying that Grix is stubborn and probably wouldn’t want Pryce been lined up as a potential successor to him.

Steam was still coming out of my ears following Pickersgill's non playing substitute at Toulouse, when yet again we had the baffling decision to put McComb on the bench last Sunday. I'm sure 99.99% (if not 100%) of fans would say Doro on the bench would have made much more impact, quite obvious imo, except the man who picks the team. So it's a fair question, why?

There hasn't been much said on Doro but wasn't he injured from the Saints game? I am quite sure that if the club wanted to shift him on, this would have happened by now as I think he would have plenty of suitors that would take him, even on loan. You can see by the way he plays he is very raw but I can't see a superleague side coming in for him, even though I think he suggested that as much that Fax was more of a stopgap until he could get back into superleague. Crooks signing might suggest that Maizen might is on the outer. He clearly isn't a centre but unlikely to shift Walmsley and Saltonstall. You have to think that Walmsley will get picked up at the end of the season so Maizen is a ready made replacement. Fairbank should be back Sunday so can stop with the larroyer experiment @ loose.

I like Maizen and he is doing well at centre and will develop into this roll. he gets lots of ball to Walmsley. His a good defender and very quick. I hope he stays

That’s what I believe I saw somewhere that he picked up a injury in that game.

Shouldn't be named in the weekly 21 if he's injured......

Why, we have to name 21 and if some are out on loan for game time they can't be in our squad too. Numbers.

The other name i would add to the potential departures is Maizens. By all accounts he has fallen well and truly out of favour so it would be no surprise if he left if not during this season then at the end. I would be surprised if what i have been told is true if he was offered a new deal for next year.

All these fall outs are becoming tedious...what happened to coaching perceived weaknesses in your players and making them better ones rather than ostracising them..?

Hmm , I see maizen more of a winger , blistering pace and a he has shown he has 100 % commitment in playing through illness and injury etc . Crooks adds a bit of size and distribution in that position which is something we have missed . I feel tibbs hasn’t reached the heights of last year and whilst quick is probably a little too small defensively. We’ve missed barber who in either second row or centre provided a bit more in the departments mentioned. Whilst we have recruited some good players, inman , lannon , possibly crooks , I think doro also but for whatever reason not being played , we have a lot of players eating up unnecessary budget which could be spent on a physical centre and a 7 to replace Keyes whilst injured. I was at the legends night and widdop was saying he’d love to finish his career at fax , I’d be willing to offload pickersgill and Maher to get in him even on loan till the end of the season.
