I ,for one, am over the bloody moon and can't wait till Friday ,after the downer of Saturday ,it's great we have something positive to look forward to

Here's the ball Chris, go and do your thing and the rest of us will try and keep up.

Interestingly ge namechecked Atkins during the interview on the clubs YouTube channel

That because he wants a cheap hot tub

Absolutely bang on, first game I won't expect too much, but we'll see who else is up for it?

I actually think it might be a good idea for game one. Do unto leeds what they do to you.....with Burrow.

So, any more news on Tony Smith disliking the fact that Sandow has joined yet?

Smith isn't bothered. He's joining Catalans as Director of Rugby next season if you believe my window cleaner.

Can't help but think back to the last time we had a high profile signing at halfback who also made his debut against Leeds



Similar result would be fantastic.

Sandow should be able to hit the ground running. He's not the sort of halfback who needs to learn set plays.

Maybe the team does...

The team will have to learn to push on the space around the ball carrier, certainly better than they did on Saturday.
