We don’t need Martin for kicking.
We have Thewlis Drinkwater (perhaps) and Ratchford who can all kick goals it the 80% plus bracket.

Poor recruiting and I’ll just give up on winning SL in 25 if that’s the direction we’re heading.
Let him go Hull FC or Leigh.

I would say Holroyd has been one of the brighter light with his tackling. Thank goodness he played last night.

Thought he was good in the Wigan game but didn't see anything stand out from his last night performance. Perhaps may see something in a rewatch, in defence though doubt it certainly seriously doubt anything in attack.

Still think Martin would be an improvement for a year if we lose Nicholson but no real great desire one way or another.

Agree with you on JT and really happy to see his improvement, but Drinkwater and Ratchford shouldn't be in our 1st 17 if Hayes comes back anything like, and im definitely sure Drinkwater isn't a consistent 80% kicker

Agree with this. Nicholson and Holroyd work hard in defence but offer little in metres and line running and are giving away at least 2 stones to the majority of back rowers. Martin and Fitzgibbon can both add to attacking lines and have the experience. Holroyd will come and we are losing Nicholson anyway.
I really hope we don’t offer a contract to Drinkwater, reduced or otherwise, as cover for Leon Hayes. Leon has a serious injury to overcome and we should not push him too much next season. Jackson Hastings and Williams at half back would be ideal.

Shakes head in disbelief at the thought of signing Rhyse Martin.. I thought the club were moving away from signings like this.. it’s shows a lack of ambition and a level of mediocrity which the club seems to accept..

If you think that Hastings is the solution then I feel you will sadly be disappointed.

I think offering some of the players extentions to early in the season does not help. Could waited till nearer May at the time and still can’t get my head around why Ratchford gets years playing contract.

Beyond the call of duty Bunkaib

Feel worse for you UR with you saying Chez Rico is closest to Salford to our other neighbours, you must have had a bit of stick.

Ha ha I'm getting it from all angles

If I were playing Jeopardy and the answer came up Jackson Hastings then I feel the question would be.

Who would be one of the best players to bring in to fight with his own young teammates and destroy the dressing room?

The club refused to offer Daryl Clark an extra year last season allowing him to sign for Saints, with whom he scored a hattrick for at the weekend and the club decided to replace him with Brad Dwyer who lasted 2 months at the club. The club has been lacking ambition for the last 10 years.

I'm not an apologist for the Club and I usually get your posts whilst not always in agreement but this is codswallop.

Feels good doesn’t it.
