Big Mac was up beat and cannot remember any mention of players carrying injuries at present, Seems He has spotted a way of playing that He thinks the side can carry onto next season. Lets hope the games are more Rhinos home and None of the Cas debacle.

Lister Not all the voluntary work is handing out leaflets etc there is a lot more to do beside that. Thanks for letting me know I live near the club I didn't realise I had moved house but that will save me driving to each game.

We have had offers from volunteers as far away as York there is plenty to do and it is not too late for anyone who would like to volunteer to contact me. If anyone has volunteered via facebook thjose names will be sent to me very soon

I suspect you are having a pop, but sometimes with you it is so hard to tell. Therefore I will refrain from using the word that is rattling around my head to describe a "third leg pole rubber" like you.

Please oh please go and "support" somebody else and do all of the "Rose Tinted Glasses Brigade" a favour.


We love our club, come what may! It will still be here in three years time, and it will still be here in another thrity years time. Stick that in your student bong and smoke it. I assume you are still a student? If not just delete the word student - my comments still stand.

Mac said all are fit.

Gafa is back in training but not full training. His was a bad injury(ripped the muscle of the bone I think he said)

Chad Randell is back this week.

One of the Aussies is held up due to his ill child

Haggy, Purdo, Mick N are due back after Xmas

I love the club too, but it is very naive to simply assume it will be here in three years time. Unless progress is made, it won't be.

The main thing I took away from the Forum was that there is a strong desire from "Boss Hogg" to improve our marketing strategy. He has a good idea of what is not happening & is taking steps to sort this out.
This includes getting rid of those who have not been performing & are just there to pick up a pay cheque at the end of each month.
He is a successful businessman & I am not, so I choose to believe him.
Also, Mac was very positive about our squad for next season & was very clear that he thought we had a good chance to better our position of last year.
The one thing with Mac is, what you see, is what you get.
Love him or hate him he will tell it as it is!
I would much rather have that, than have someone who hides behind the club & says nothing that might upset the supporters.
Lets hope my faith is not misplaced.

I would back Mc's judgement on the field, as for Boss Hogg I hope he can sort out a decent marketing strategy. I don't see we have much choice!

I can't bl**dy wait for it to start again. Im sure there'll be plenty of home wins to enjoy and hopefully a few shocks in amongst the usual brave defeats against the big boys. There's enough class in our squad for us to be very proud of our team, especially with the severe financial limitations we have. LMS, Clubby and Purdo are worth the admission money alone.

Lister, you sir are an idiot.

hear, hear. Bring it on -

nb it is only two months away - 8 weeks only!

because he disagrees with you?

That seems fair.

2 chads and a temata 2

Never a truer word...

I'm no longer a kid, and with whom and I supposed to unite?

Given my complete technical incompetence maybe "I don't wanna work in no factory" is a more appropriate Sham 69 lyric.

Only the fools who have no idea what the team needed.
Both him and ward were good signings at the time and both of them had good seasons.

For the time being I'm trying to remain as positive as possible about 2009. Yes, I do have worries about some of our signings and their ability to compete at Super League level, but I want to withold any solid opinion on this until the season is well under way.
