Out for 'several weeks' according to T and A

www.thetelegraphandargus.co.uk/s ... y_setback/

Along with Donno that's a real choker. Right centre has been a massive achilles heel and he's shown enough to suggest he could be a very handy player. Lulia and Pryce back so at least some positives.

yes, Lulia wont be as match sharp as Purtell, but is a size for size replacement. Addy has played a fair amount over the last two seasons, but Donaldsons game has shown hes been out to prove a point this season, lets hope Addy has that same desire.

Not sure how serious a 'massive achilles heel' is. Does it make him run lop sided

It's a shame about Purtell, but modern SL seems to be all about injuries, and squad juggling. One man's injury should be another man's opportunity, and this year we do have some half decent personnel to come in, so bring 'em on, I say.

Is this Ross Heppenstall a journalist then?

Or did he win a competition to get an article in the paper?

I'm not keen on the new journos articles either tbh.

Shame about Purtell, he looks really enthusiastic and chases everything at 100mph.

Really hoping Lulia plays. Looks a proper centre. Shame about purtell as he looks like someone who gives it to the opposition. Also in league express that Manuokafoa could be fit. Hope so! My line up would be:

1. Kearney
2. Crookes
3. Pryce
4. Lulia
5. Kear
6. Sammut
7. Gale
8. Scrtuton
9. Diskin
10. Kopczak
11. Whitehead
12. Sibbitt
13. Langley
14. L'estrange
15. Manuokafoa/Hargreaves
16. Walker
17. Burgess

18th. Joseph

He previously did Rugby Union reports for the likes of the Times, Sunday Times, Independent etc, with the occasional RL for the same market, so hes added RL and the T & A to his CV. I thought he looked a bit disinterested on a TnA video the other week, simply trotting out the Club line, but thats all part of the relationship, he trots out the club PR in exchange for info he can put on twitter as himself or on this site as Roger Daily.

Maybe my sarcasmagraph is faltering slightly here but that's more than a little bit harsh on Ross.

The lad's a good journo with a strong pedigree but will inevitably take time to get his feet properly under the table. Patience my dear Watson.

In mentioning his disinterest (not even the quality of his reporting) in just one report I feel I have been much less harsh than Stul, and yes as he builds up his experience of the Bulls he will be able to be more insightful. so not guilty mylud. Where I am guilty is in being totally cynical about the relationship between the club and the media including Ross, and I gladly acknowledge that! and perhaps because of that relationship he is just reflecting the rather unexciting Mick Potter in the message, whatever you may say about Ian motormouth hes certainly lively and even become gracious in defeat!

Indeed, at least you were making an observation, while Stul was downright rude.

I don't feel Ross was disinterested in that video, it's just the way he came across as he was likely uncomfortable doing his first piece to camera.

You are well within your rights to question the relationship between the club and the media because it serves nobody to have a fanbase which is completely deferential to the club. A healthy dose of cynicism helps in keeping everyone on their toes. However, I wouldn't say the relationship is quite how you paint it. Yes, the club give preferential treatment to the T&A in return for good coverage in its pages but nobody at the club, particularly Duffy, would insist that coverage is exclusively fawning.

The relationship between club and paper, whilst not [iexactly[/i symbiotic, is pretty much one of a 'win win' for both sides as it's fair to say they both benefit from it. It should never get [itoo[/i chummy, though.

I think Ross suffers from being the 'new boy' following Connor Murphy, who was widely respected by fans, and if I may say a sad loss, when he left for greener (?) pastures. It's unfair to pick on Ross though he should be given time to 'bed-in'.

Any chance anyone could update me/us about Purtell or has this just degenerated in to journo bashing/love in session?

I dont think theres anything new on Purtell, and the journo bashing finished as a score draw, I have adjusted my cynicism level down to healthy from totally.
