Just remind us which team it is that you support ??

We are still waiting for your first positive comment about Trinity and generally you are happy to criticise everything.
Although the no 9 spot is still a problem, the forwards that we have this season are as a group, probably the best we have had in the SL era and to say that we wont compete is just utterly ridiculous.

Who would you have liked us to sign and which teams are going to dominate us up front ?

Although you're taking the mick with that S/R AND YES THEY ARE GREAT YOUNGSTERS you've forgotten Arona who is way ahead of both of them and you've forgotten Hirst who is way ahead of Anakin who isn't proven SL quality at prop - I only wish he was.

I have a good feeling about Keegan Hirst as well, shouldn't take him long to settle with Kear here and been great for Batley.

With the number of options at prop, I can see us going in to some games with one of them playing 13, like we did with Simon to give us maximum go forward.

I would have thought we'd go with something like Sio at 13 with Arona off the bench or vice versa.

Yes now Arona's being freed up to play there full time, he gives us as much go froward as Simon anyway imo. It also makes sense to go with these 2 at Loose, who are both mobile and good defensively. Not saying it couldn't happen especially if anyone got injured, but I'd be fairly surprised.

The props pick themselves.We'll have to wait and see who's the second row is and I'm guessing there is going to be some surprises.

My view is that we have all the ingredients to be successful, by our standards, and we can live with most in the comp. The key now is to try and blend it all in a manner that works for the players, the coaches and for us. As has been mentioned elsewhere, our biggest challenge is that we have had a soft underbelly in our mental strength. We remained strong until we scraped over the finish line, then it became all too easy to blame injuries etc on some dismal performances, when the truth was that we didn't have the will to fight on.

I know we had that wonderful afternoon against the Gooners, but that side, hampered by injuries also, went on to win the big prize as they refused to buckle in the face of adversity. I'm not saying we should have won the GF, but some of that attitude to succeed is what we need to aspire to within our group. If we can instill that, who knows what might be possible!

Top post TRB, my sentiments exactly.

Hirst settling in well and believes we may get into top 6 if stay relatively injury free..... www.loverugbyleague.com/news_243 ... nimum.html

5th tackle reporting that us, Hudds and Leeds interested in signing Ryan Bailey for next season. Fingers crossed its Leeds or Hudds that get him.

Surely not us, we've got props coming out of our ears atm!
