Christ. The lads not even got here yet, IF he is coming, and hes already not wanted.

Also, with no mention on either Ashurst or Ali and their injuries, maybe hes coming in to cover loose, whilst Washy covers back row?

It would be disappointing if this was the catalyst to release either McShane or Godinet, because Howarth is not a patch on either at hooker.

If not though I think he could do us a very good job at loose forward,which I think is his natural position. Tackles very well, is mobile and has decent handling skills.

The lad is certainly not the worst player in the world, as some seem to think

For me, Howarth's short kicking game was pretty good. Bit weak defending wide out but no worse than many of our current crop and certainly an all round better option going forward than Kavanagh, Griffin or Hand.

I hear Daniel Smith is going to Warrington. Not sure if soon or end of season.

What makes me laugh is we getting hammered every week but all these so called big clubs are wanting our players.if i was t smith (for example) at this moment in time i wouldnt be looking at any wakey player

A bit quick off the mark here aren't yer, one Wakey fan and one Salford fan does not rate him, plus a couple what are a bit cool on him coming, and all of a sudden there's a campaign against him according to you.

Very simplistic way of looking at things.

Just because a team aren't performing well together on the pitch doesn't mean that team isn't filled with quality players.

Squad announced for Sunday:-

Scott Anderson
Chris Annakin
Joe Arundel
Dean Collis
Pita Godinet
Tom Johnstone
Danny Kirmond
Reece Lyne
Paul McShane
Jacob Miller
Jon Molloy
Richard Owen
Chris Riley
Matt Ryan
Nick Scruton
Mickael Simon
Dan Smith
Tim Smith
Danny Washbrook

No Craig Hall again. Maybe he has played his last game for Trinity????

Very good point.

Lets look at this another way, Players like anyone else in life like to feel secure. What if the club have been very slow to sign up any of our lads who don't have a contract beyond next season. If so , who can blame them for not wanting to get a contract.

You could also take this a little further, lets suppose the vast majority of our squad are leaving for pastures new. To me this would answer many of the questions about the performance of the team.

Bronco's were getting hammered even worse last year but their ex players are going well at Cas.

Really

Has Jamie Rooney signed for Hull FC yet?

I guess the plan is to sign a duel registration agreement with Hull the way it is going. I do not remember anyone being disappointed when he was not offered a contract and now we are to accept that he will make a difference.
I have witnessed some bad seasons but this one is the worst I have known both on and off the field.
