Agree on the pre season games
Think Smith got it wrong last season and also the pre season training trying to build fitness as the season goes clearly didnt work whilst the high intensity pre season training at HKR was evident to see especially in defence.

if were honest we don't know what we`re going to get this coming season. Im never sure wholesale changes (that's what it feels like) are good but it was necessary and unavoidable. I would say that there is plenty to be positive about- youth, big boppers year on of TS etc. I think some have pessimistic defaults - maybe they are like that in life?. I don't think we`ll be as bad as last season and yet Smith will not get what he really wants from our performances until 2025. as I say none of us know but I can't wait for February

Club usually churns out preseason content but so far seem to be very quiet this time round.

These next few weeks are the most important part of our season. Time for players like Tex, Brown (when he comes) and smith to get used to playing as a 6/7 in our systems.

Preseason will make a huge impact on how you perform in a position. Developing the Timing etc of a different position mid season is a different beast than running the systems 5 days a week for 3 months.

You can’t write off how Smith, tex or brown will perform.

Lane & Carlos could have worldie seasons, we just don’t know. It’s on to them to put the graft in on the paddock

We saw how griffin 2022 to 2023 form differed from having a good preseason

Chance for a few young guns to develop and stake their claim.

Pre season is more exciting that who we were going to sign for 2024 as this is what matters

Winning first two that's my point

Are you sure you know what your talking about ? You seem to get everything wrong

Connor isn't the best full back in Super League

Hookem isn't a super league player as you banged on about

Think the players were more the issue rather than training

Ellis got blamed for defence but you can't coach average players if they haven't got it

We lost 7/9, including 40-0 at home to Rovers and 60 points at home to Salford, yeah really good start the season



More lies also about me too, asked you before to prove I said that about either player, but you ignore the post.

You just make stuff up to suit you agenda.

Will apologise if you can show me a post where I said Connor was the best FB in the league and Hookem was good enough to play SL.

But did we not win our first 2 games

Wakefield not winning first 10 now that's a bad start

You banged on about Connor non stop



And hookem I'd never heard of him until you mentioned him again non stop

Answer the questions, is winning 2/9 a good or bad start to the league?

But did I say he was the best fullback in the league?

The reason you haven't heard of Hookem is more a reflection on you as a supported, he had made his first team debut before I started asking him to play.

Good interview that, totally right what he says about Hoy's comments last year.

Hard to believe his is only 24, really hope he has a good run with injuries, reminds me of when Briscoe moved to Rovers.

id sooner finish top of the league and be the true champions,no interest in the end of season sky egg cup.

No problem with players setting their sights high. They play to win, it would be more concerning if they didn't have that mindset.
