NSWC and QC are good comps, a few teams would give it to the SL "also rans"

Good luck to the lads. It's a great life out here! Just stay off the meth!

Agree ref Hood and R.Ward....I'd do the same in their position. Wouldn't it be ironic if we saw two Leeds throw aways both becoming the new Hodgson

We are better swallowing our pride and going with the under 23's league that others are going with, than sending these prospects to dead end matches like Hunslet.

agree with this.U23's with 2 over age players allowed in any matchday 17.

Robbie Mulhern has signed for Hull KR on a 2 year contract www.therhinos.co.uk/news/28003.php#.VmHd3vmyNBc I'm surprised that it's a permanent deal and not a loan arrangement as i thought that the lad had plenty of potential Good luck to him and i certainly hope that he makes the grade at HKR

All looks much better now with Ferres addition

the league as a whole doesnt have the strength for U23s, the standards of those games will be absolutely awful.

I mean a Wigan u23 side is probably going to be hunslet level, god only knows how bad a keighley reserve side would be.

Barry Eaton has left Hunslet Hawks due to their relegation and is now full time assistant coach at Leeds.

What's everyone gonna slate Brian for now...

The unused substitute will still have some mileage I reckon. I can see Baldwinson or Cam Smith sitting unused this year and McDermott getting battered for it.

According to the YEP Eaton's been doing the job at Hunslet unpaid, meaning that the Rhinos must have been paying all of his salary - a matter that nobody on here seems to have known or at least posted. I wonder if that would have altered the way in which Hawks fans viewed the Rhinos had they known that? Somehow I doubt it, since it doesn't suit their anti-Rhinos stance.
I have long called for a full-time assistant to McDermott, so I'm pleased to read this news.
Obviously, he's really been doing this for sometime now.

Have the substitutions been reduced this year as proposed? If they have then any coach not using subs deserves a good heckle, as it would be sheer stupidity.

They have in the NRL, not in SL yet

the yes man has a yes man , safer than the previous wild dog last seen frothing at the million pound game

suppose after last year brian's earned a free year

looking at footballs headlines of pep , lvg and the special one genius is no guarantee of harmony and success.

I wonder if it will take time till we find a regular goal kicker ?
