I think after the Leeds friendly, EO will know in his own thoughts what he thinks of the squads quality and depth. He's gone for alot of youth for the Hull game. So it's a good opportunity to see the strength in depth. To see if the reserves that where promoted to the first team squad, academy lads and the 2 trialists have what it takes to step up when required. Whether the Leeds game will be a similar squad as well. It gives 2 games for all those players to show if they can step up or not. You would suggest that all players would have had enough game time after the Leeds game and EO will be better placed to judge what he has at his disposal and make decisions as to whether he thinks we need to add to the squad or not. I still think we're light for cover at FB, LF, HB, HK and a Prop. But there might be players that step up in the next 2 games and show where ok in a couple of those positions.

Hull are basically bringing fringe squad players and half their academy.

Marcus Green has signed for Midland Hurricanes

Not sure if it’s been mentioned on here already can’t see anything but Brad England will be leaving in the next 2 weeks.

Really? First I've heard about it.

Fallen out with coaches, looking like a possibility at Fev.

Not fallen out with coaches.

Intriguing.

Did anyone see the Leigh Leopards announcement that they’d appointed Kane Daniels as their new head of performance? The flip side of that being our head strength & conditioning coach has left halfway through preseason, which is where a good S&C coach lays all the foundations for the rest of the season. That’ll be a blow.

Yeah I saw that. Hopefully he's left everyone with a full programme to follow for the remainder of the pre-season period. He's done a good job when you compare where the players were in terms of fitness in 2022.

Seeing as there’s now been another physio advert, I assume we need another one of them as well?
