Without doubt.

Feel sure I saw it on the website?

JyMel confirmed on website as Asst. Coach and Head of Reserves.

Is Jy-Mel playing? As an experienced head to steer what presumably will be a young team around, I can see sense in that. I seem to recall he was still playing last season.

Seems to be a non playing role

The 29 players were listed on the Website on Tuesday with the players allocated shirt numbers 1 through 29. Was that list shown elsewhere as well? I know who was allocated each number, the 1 to 13 looked like they were allocated positionally and close to what looked like the first choice starting numbers.

Now my lack of knowledge time (there's lots !) Does Will Lovell play both Centre and Second Row? I see he was allocated Number 11.

In my view he was a square peg in around hole playing centre, without pace, mobility and defensively poor. Those same attributes apply to second row, but he's more of a second row.

He can't pass either.

Little harsh on the skipper maybe but we shall see.

Agreed.

Truth hurts, Lovell is an abysmal player.

And one of the best in the current squad..

How low we have fallen...

The days of yelling "Give it to Rhys" and listening to Mark Ione's partner shouting encouragment from the stands are long gone

.....were still falling in my opinion.
The thud will be about May/June when we are involved in a relegation battle.

I reckon you’re right- coach with no experience at this level, many of the players likewise. We don’t even have the fitness advantage of being full time now, and that got us over the line a fair few times in the past.
Add that to having to play 5 consecutive games away from home around that time and we could have the perfect storm.

I’d love to be proved wrong but somehow…….

Bookies have us as the favourite, 5/4 available on Widnes, buying money IMO.
