It really is no coincidence that things really fell through the floor when he came in. He gets picked regardless of his performance, it’s contractual. How do you think others like that?

When you say contractual are you suggesting his contract says he has to get picked regardless of form? I genuinely don't understand how that could be enforced by him - if he was still getting paid he'd have to show some detriment from not getting picked. Aged 33 or whatever its hardly the case that he's gunning for one last big contract after his current one expires. If he was the only way he'd get it is by showing he's a good player.

I'm not arguing he's a bad influence BTW. Looking at our squad I'd guess there are a few rotten eggs amongst them attitude-wise. I find some of our 'efforts' over the last couple of years inexplicable otherwise.

A number of posters have expressed concern that Walker appears to be missing when opponents spread the ball to the wings although his one on one direct defense is good. Tui on the other hand is just poor in defense It is time to play Golding at fullback he would improve the defense and bring a bit more commitment something needed to the entire team

Ferres added nothing yesterday again! Time he went.
His attitude is appalling.
Watkins is currently shot send him on holiday and let Merrin skipper the side.

Ferris makes Achurh look like an International

Only way Ferres will be shown the door is if he gives Kath one!

Agreed, we’re still joint bottom and desperately need another win. If we can’t beat Hull kr who are we going to beat.

totally agree

But last weekend you said we could make the Grand Final so I presume you think we can pretty much beat everyone on that basis.

Hashtag deluded.

Garbutt a big loss on form then.

Interesting to see he has picked up another mid-term knee injury. Not sure but think it was his knee that always saw him miss games at Leeds. Hopefully for his sake he can get it sorted once and for all.

maybe why he was released?

Don't you go suggesting sensible things like the club might have made the right call on this one. What about all the outrage we saw on here from various posters about letting our best forward go etc etc...?

We've got plenty wrong recruitment wise in recent years but I've just never been convinced that is the case with Garbutt. If he'd stayed fit for the entire year then absolutely would have been an improvement on what we had but I suspect the club knew that wasn't going to be the case...

Knee
Concussion
Wifes Pregancy
Hayfever
Cold
Stubbed his toe
Torn shirt

There was many reasons why he missed games........

was his toe unconscious?

Huge injury list for Sunday with a total of 11 players missing. Ferres, Peteru and Albert join. Walker named in 19 (which doesn’t come out until tomorrow).
