He has bought depth. We have the strongest squad we've ever had (not the strongest of competition!). We have 17 players out. 8 or 10 out, even 12 we could have coped with. We had 14 out yesterday and list to last year's 2nd place team by 2 points. But 17? That leaves us with 13 plus a couple on loan.

Our older 19s are either already on the squad and playing or on long term loans. Not sure about bringing them back. That might be one option. not sure the fans of the clubs they're on loan to would be pleased and I guess it would cost us a few grand. But it might be an option

Our u19s has been revamped to focus on developing younger players so are mostly 16 or 17. I believe that's the long term thinking that most people are telling us we should be doing

As fir the ire, we certainly seems to be the marmite team of the year!

How did he ask?

Not sure. Smoke signals, I think.

As he does everything- loudly and publicly.

Is it not the responsibility of the CEO to make the request?

I now understand it is the requirement of the head coach,as demonstrated by Huddersfield,to request the RFL disciplinary to 'throw the book' at opposition players and prejudice any decision making.

Of course,in keeping with the ubiquitous criticism of Dr Koukash it may just be that he is paying a member of his staff to do nothing.

A Noble gesture,perhaps...?

why are you referring to dirty tackle techniques in relation to Koukash wanting a game deferred?
