a question was asked that required a Yes/No answer, no expansion needed. The team lacks pace, size, strike, creativity and flair. Other than that it's great |

I'm glad you recognise the level I work at. Yeah, may be an option for me if I decide not to renew and pick and choose games but will likely drift away if I don't. I will post my sob story on here if I do though so don't miss that

| Quote: DSJ1983 "That team you’ve posted would be better than anything we’ve put out this season, but there’s two big problems, the biggest problem is that we’ve not signed Lafai or Sullivan have we? Then in that 13 alone there’s a least a few players who’ve had really bad luck with injuries recently, and often players like that for whatever reason often struggle to shake the bad luck.
FWIW I wouldn’t be too thrilled about Lafai anyway just because of his age on a 2-3 year contract but I’ll accept he is playing better then what we’ve mostly put out this season.
Barring signings we’ve not made I’d say at best we might not get as many hammerings and maybe have a group with more experience and mental toughness. Quality wise still way and I’d suggest even Wakefield would fancy their chances of finishing above us. We make a few real quality signings and things change, but we can only judge that when it happens. We’ve had trouble bringing quality in.'"
I'll bet there would be lots of much younger options to lafai over in oz who would be much younger and probably cost less. We don't want more 32/33 year olds on 2 year + contracts. It's just asking for trouble. I can see a scenario next year where we have half the salary cap sat in the stands again due to injuries which can be avoided with more considered recruitment. But players who have proven to be robust, not ones who are the opposite |

Not a sob story at all…someone questioned why I don’t go and I answered….doubt I aren’t the only to have drifted away but you like to bring it up.As for the remaining signings…let’s see who they are,like we say…a speedy half back and centre would be ideal and maybe another forward with the young guns back up.They will be better coming in with more experienced players around them unlike this season where out of 1-7 on Sunday…4 was youngsters and 2 of those was in the spine |

It sounds like you'll be back supporting the club financially next year then? |

I know I'm a figure of amusement to some of you when I say this but this is an interesting read and I tend to think at times that Beaumont is after us and wants to try and reverse the decision to scrap relegation, to our detriment.

I would not take Beaumont’s reading of the situation as being remotely authoritative.
If they did decide to bring back relegation, it definitely wouldn’t be this season. I’ll grant you that Beaumont might want that, but… so what? Even if it was Hetherington or McManus, I don’t think you’d have anything to worry about, and they’ve at least got a bit of gravitas/political clout. This is Beaumont.
Even if London finished above Hull (slightly unlikely, but not implausible), and Hughes did take action (extremely unlikely, imo), what would be the legal basis? London are miles off on the IMG gradings, and there’s no legal obligation for a sport to run a system of traditional P&R.

Beaumont still, hoping beyond hope that he can find a way to keep asiata. There was one of this from him prior to us signing asiata and we were much worse

looking at ours and Londons' remaining fixtures ours do look more favourable, plus if we can keep losses to close scores, our PD is worth another point atm, so fingers crossed, see you next year Derek!

Even if we finish bottom this year it doesn't matter as we'll still be in Super League next season. If we finish bottom next season that's different matter altogether. |
