| Quote: Chris71 "For me Lovodua should now be playing 9 until the end of the season as it was the position he was brought in to the club to play originally. We need to see if he will indeed make an improvement at 9 (as we expect he will). If we are not going to play him at 9 or spell Houghton then for me I fail to see the logic in keeping him especially using a valuable quota spot. Don't get me wrong I like Lovodua but he is nothing special in the halves nor is he a player that I would have at LF or SR week in week out. So unless BH starts to play in him at 9 (in what is supposedly his favoured and best position) over Houghton then why keep him at all as his quota spot is of more value elsewhere.'" You would think Lovodua would be desperate to play 9 given that is where he will probably be playing at the WC. While he may be taking up a quota space I imagine his impact on the salary cap would be quite low hence why we aren't restructuring his contract and simply taking the extra year in our favour. |

Have to agree. The fact that a new deal hasn’t been announced yet makes me wonder if he could be on his way. |

If Houghton leaves use Lovodua's quota spot and replace him with a specialist hooker.
If Houghton stays keep Smith (if he goes ok) as a replacement for Lovodua and play him from the bench and gradually ease Balmforth in.
Smith offers far better utility value then Lovodua as well. |

I really enjoy long walks especially when they are taken by people I don't like!:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_8082.jpg |

I'm wondering whether he'll even be here next season |

Finances may dictate if JC stays or goes. Isn't NRL standard but there has been a tentative enquiry from a team West of the Pennines, which as far as i aware hasn't been followed up. |

We'd be relegation fodder if it wasn't for Connor this season

That’s because of a deal which would help us financially, or is it Connor causing the disruption in the dressing room you posted a few days back, please elaborate. |

He just strikes me as being a divisive character on the pitch. Off the pitch he seems ok, nice kid around the club, but on the pitch when it appears to not be going right, he looks like a bit of a problem |

One thing is for sure, there is certainly something wrong in our club, if it’s true, they are arguing at half time in a match environment, we are the opposite of a team together, no wonder there’s no spirit, no fight, it’s terrible really, it strengthens my opinions that a stronger personality needs to replace Brett. |

On the pitch he's frustrated because he cares and doesn't like losing. Not sure that could be said for some of his team mates. |
