| Good post morrisey. Can we not have a really negative thread in the build up to this saturday please? Ins and outs and gossip can wait til next week surely? The team is clearly full of confidence so things must be going very well in camp.

| It is nothing to do with drinking or training. More to do with money and how some long standing players have/are being treated.
Hopefully it won't affect the focus of the WHOLE team and everyone can be professional enough to win what should be our best ever chance at the title. Ours to lose!

| Dreadful attitudes, bad apples, outside influences, trouble in the near future - how about we just cut to the chase, stop talking in riddles and get to the point?
Either that or we stick to facts, do away with the unsubstantiated rumours and concentrate on our Grand Final?

| Been told today by a lad i know who works in the backroom staff, that Cox, Dodds and bailey are definately gone and We're trying to Buy Ben Harrison out of his contract. If this is true then we're either signing a few props or we're leaving ourselves REALLY light in the pack. He says we've signed Watkins from Leeds. And we have first refusal on Denny solomona. Now he could be talking a load of S#$T but you never know. He told me about Cooper 2 weeks before we announced it so he might not be?

I would concur that the above is pretty accurate.
There are divisions though in the club at all levels and they would do well to emulate the Wigan mentality on how players are equally valued. Needs to be addressed before it gets totally out of hand.

Or we could adopt the Wigan approach, go on a team-bonding exercise, fill them full of drink and let chaos ensue. So much for divisions in the club.
The only "long-standing" player I can imagine spitting his dummy out at the moment is Penny, and frankly his error rate means he doesn't deserve a starting place. Alternatively, I guess some players might object to Sandow's marquee pay vs performances/alleged behaviour of late but given most of that is based on speculation, I'll move on.
If I want a soap opera plot, I'll stick with Corrie.

Have we not just granted Ben Harrison a testimonial season after spending a year rehabilitating him from injury? To now only buy him out of his contract? Doesn't add up really.
At least you've named your source and got to the point, however.

| If this discontent and division from top to bottom is true, it is remarkable we have made both finals and topped the league. Maybe it's a few empty vessels making the loudest noise.

It isn't top to bottom but it doesn't take a genius to work out which players are now on the outside of the split in the camp. It is just a shame it wasn't handled better as it has happened before at the club.
And quite frankly I couldn't care less if people think this is idle speculation as I don't deal in such nonsense.

| It is all beginning to sound like a plot for the Jeremy Kyle show.
Didn't we have some dressing room unrest last season too when a couple of players moved on & left us with a gaping hole in the pack ?

Mark I wasn't calling you the empty vessel - more the fringe players on the wrong side of the split. I am sure your information is sound.
I'm no genius so here goes - am I close?
Penny
The New Improved Lineham?
Dwyer
Johnson
Harrison
Wheeler
Cox
Bailey

So Mark is it not down to Mr Smith to root out the bad apples or not?
Frankly don't care if it's a marquee signing or the lowest paid players on the books, if they're destabilising the squad then they can do one.
Also Mr Smith also has to take his share of the blame for bringing in one of the rumoured destabilising factors, on the premise he'd changed

Smith is not a one man recruitment team though so definitely not solely down to him but he does seem to have a habit of bearing a grudge against players, Hodgson being a well documented example.
I think Tony does get some bad advice on player signings and on who to promote from within.
