Bond.....James Bond. One of the secret service agents signed from Leigh and loaned back by M........ (Mac) Eyes only........ code word Horses Mouth

Really enjoyed watching that Hull V Cas game so that makes a hit rate of around 2 in 12 so far this season (the other was the opening night)

It'll get better .... at least I hope it will.

I enjoyed it too. I don't know who does the scouting for Cas but they've done well spotting Solomona & McMeekin, Danny Orr maybe when he was down at the Broncos.
Cas show that you don't necessarily need the best players but good coaching pays dividends.
Not taking anything away from McDermott but I do wonder what Powell could now do with our players.
Interestingly he has two assistants in Orr & Sheridan, both decent half backs if not truly international class.

Anyone who saw the Broncos could have told you McMeekan was going to be a quality player. You don't have to be a scout, I mentioned it on here a few times...

It'll get better because the NRL starts on Premier sports.

In before William

JJB is in the 19 man squad in place of Hallas from last week. Still doubtful if he'll make the the 17 though.

Faloon has been a cracking signing so far. Taking his time coming back from a broken toe, they don't usually take this long to recover from, maybe worse injury than we have been told.

Hopefully baldwinson will get a game this week

I think we did enough in attack against Catalan to win the game. A similar performance with better application on defence should see us past Hudders. Their injury list is about as long as ours, the main difference is that a lot of the young players they are calling on don't have the experience of the likes of Sutty, Handley, Keinhorst or even Walters.

The piece on the club website about the 17 man squad for Friday lists the players currently out injured or suspended.

Only one it doesn't mention is Falloon. If you're a fan of conspiracy theories, have at it.

Think we'll get off the mark this week. Whilst disappointing at the time the defence vs Catalans, it is worth remembering it was only 6 days after a massive effort in the WCC. To go away to France after that game we probably should've expected a less than stellar showing defensively.

Before the season I was quietly optimistic about faloon having seen him previously. The thought of going the rest of the season with burrow at hooker fills me with dread

Brough has been named in their 19 (unsurprising it's his personal cup final playing us), the rest listed above still out.

I broke my toe on New Years Day. Whilst I can now just about
walk normally on it again - running on it is still a no go
for me. They can be awkward to heal properly so I wouldn't
be overly surprised at the time taken so far on
the Falloon front.

I broke mine a few times. Never taken this long. Ran a marathon 3 weeks after breaking it the second time.
