"Hey up Nat,thy ad a bad shift on them furnaces on Saturday but Mondays optional"
I dont bloody think so. They all should have been in preparing for Sunday. mind you its only Wigan.

As I understand it the players were never down to stay over, just the coach and his group.

Understand that Richie Mathers mum died a few years ago, hence his fund raising for St Gemmas Hospice.

To clear things up I was speaking to oli and I asked him where the rest of the squad was as they usually all come in together or as individuals not just in a small group. He replied with 'It's an optional training session mate'. That's all that was said.

Don't worry, you've done nothing wrong, Ollie is in the clear too.

The strange thing is that this season the points difference had been very respectable as regards teams around us until recently.
Whereas in previous seasons we were often the ones with the worst.
We have had narrow defeats against Huddersfield, Warrington and Catalans.
If we had managed to win those three we would be sitting 7th.
So something has gone wrong.
I reserve judgement, hoping that problems, can be and will be sorted out.
