No mullally nor tiaa?

And mason vs fielden round 2 ?

Ta'ai must still be in the middle of his mini pre-season. With Lawrence back no need to rush him. Only playing 15 mins puts a strain on the rotation of the bench. He's had a taster so should be working his b0ll0cks off trying to lose that stone.

i thought tai was sent a training schedule by the club , what did he do , eat it ?

You can ask him. I'm not.

wardle 7/4 to score a try vs castleford

To be honest i think we're managing just fine without Ukuma, Fergy and Bruno are both back - fergy has been outstanding for us too so no need to rush him.

think broughy needs to go out and prove McNamara wrong for picking chase over him! COYG

not suggesting anybody should be `rushed` into playing . just musing on how far off fitness the bloke must have been when he got here .how long has he been in training with us a month? 6 weeks ?, and he`s still not fit enough to be even a sub , during the busiest part of the season . all the words of how he ,had his own fitness programme that the club had got for him , i even remeber people saying he was still training with his former club , seem rather hollow now

We dont really know whether its fitness or whether Baloo just doesn't find a place for him at the moment.

re: ta'ai, as daz says he might be fit and raring to go, but surely he has to deserve his place, cording,fairbank,ferres and fergy are all doing ok just now.

Ta ai may well be being held in reserve until the pitches firm up and the weather improves...be like a new player arriving fully fit, integrated and in conditions that are ideal for him

Before Taai came over Anderson stated he didn't know if he would be playing at prop or second row. Could it be Taai came over with size knowing he could be asked to scale down in size to suit more of a second rower physic?
I am not too sure but our props and second rowers are doing the business at the moment which for one means they shouldn't lose there place without good reason or to a marquee signing and two he will get a hell of a lot more fitter and learn our systems.
