Alas, the antipodeans can't be sent on dual reg.

Ade would probably prefer Barrow!

I suspect the latter and we are just going through the motions, we might find out against the Goons in a couple of weeks, if the players can,t respond to a derby no matter what form they are in, then maybe we can assume they are just waiting for the cavalry to arrive in Luke and Mose for 2014.

There is, most of these senior players are out of contract, if they are the problem we just don't offer them new ones.

He'll be on dodgy ground, but I don't think he'll be sacked this year. Next year will be the issue if the performances don't pick up.

Trouble is more and more have accepted deals they are just not announced yet , meaning the leverage has gone.

I agree, I think he will be given until the middle of next year. His selections are crazy but he's also had a bad time of it with injuries as well and also been left with a disastrous squad with no halves and poor props.

IMO your halves are the most important position in the team but if the props don't do there job then it makes the halves job 100 times harder.

He's brought in Walmsley, Manu and Turner who have been pretty good, he's also go Maose and Walsh for next year so 2014 will have a more of a Brown stamp on things.


I just hope he brings at least another top prop in and I'll be pretty happy.

I'm hoping that the rumoured deals for Wellens and Gardner are just that...

Wello 100% been offered a one year deal which he's agreed on but yet to sign.

Wello himself has said publically that he is presently in negotiations over an extension. That he is staying is a given.

Corrected

Unless it's on a much reduced, you don't play unless we have a massive injury crisis (one that I don't think he'd sign so that may be a good sign), but can use your experience to help the younger players, then that's a massive mistake and I can see me moaning even more at the games next year...
