The squad really wasn't okay on paper. No depth at fullback which cost us badly. Having Smith, Lino and Gaskell as our choices in the halves was clearly the worst in the league. Knowing that even had Tanginoa been fit all year, we would still be relying on players such as Lynne, Ashurst and Pitts when they are so clearly past their peak. There is no hiding from that, the majority could see it from the games in pre-season.

Mash does have his fair share to answer for - looking shocking in attack the vast majority of the year being the main one. Persistence with Proctor despite making no meaningful contribution and not being able to play enough minutes another.

Go on the "Some Nice News" thread and give Big Dave some positive congratulations. You will feel a lot better.

Loans I'm not so concerned about, dual reg I am. It works for the senior partner in getting game time for their fringe players, but the junior partner, by all accounts, you can prep with those players and they could be pulled last minute, leaving you short.

Plus it screams small time.

They haven't even looked at that yet. He says they might look at it.
Just a bit too keen to find something wrong with what he says. Just wait to see what they all come up with and choose your moaning strategy.

I get what you are saying about proctor, as it was plain for all to see , he simply hasn’t got any better the whole season. But my point is , surely he should have had a medical or fitness assessment before a shed load of money was thrown his way especially his age and years in the NRL which will have taken its toll .Remember Gale signing for leeds and watched the program of the tough medical he had to go through to prove that his Achilles injury had fully healed .

Indeed. From the brave keyboard warriors. The armchair critics. The know nowt know alls, who pontificate and slag off the staff, players and club almost every week, yet still keep coming back. Unfortunately
