What about using Leutele as a replacement for ODonnell on the left side back row ala Watkins at Salford, certainly big enough and strong enough and can run the right lines.

We seem to have decided on Niu as the Leutele replacement. If Eckersley was going to be available, I'd much rather have him and use a quota spot on another prop. Be surprised if he wasn't at Wigan next year though.

From what I've seen of Taiki Chan I've not been overly excited.

Liam Byrne always struck me as someone who ran out of gas far too quickly, but then again I formed that opinion while watching him and Mulhern playing for Ireland and I thought the same about Robbie, so who knows what wonders our team can work.

Does anyone have any up to date info on the IMG grading, some slight rule changes today, or atleast announced today, likely the club has known for some time.
Like what position are we likely to be in, Derek seems 100% confident some 11 months ago but been quiet on journalists and anyone of note since on any updates

last quote seen from derek was that he was certain the proces woulf end in legal action dont know if he meant from us?

last i saw from rl they issued warnings about clubs inflating attendance figures

do you think we have improved rating if so where

Assume he means for the club that dosent get in, or if we are the club that dosent get in

He made it clear we will improve on finances, our attendance this season won’t take us over the average threshold for a the next points, perhaps media engagements? Dunno how league position will help if that’s a rolling average or not, I don’t really know enough about it to know where we can and will improve
Sure we are pushing to do all we can

But for me we surly are the model club or idea of what is ideal, pre match entertainment done right, squad building, progressive team, fan base rising year on year and great attendances, then better finances with Derek but also becoming more self sufficient, add real competition to the league and just in general, seem to be going places with a coach like Lammy committing to 3 years, an academy licence being granted
