If Jones is going he doesn't deserve to be in a team pushing for GF place, give it to a player with some loyalty.

Powell is a big loss, means they lose Tommy L from defending out wide and he is the best defenders in SL, as someone mentioned we need to run at young Smith.

Two main wingers out also.

Based on that theory, we wouldn’t pick Ratu.

Ratu has been great for us and I wish him well for the future.

However, I’d want our best 17 out v Wigan and if Jones had been fit and available, then there was a case for having him in.

He’s clearly not available, so we move on.

Jones isn't in our best 17, he hasn't played.

Not quite the same, Ratu has honoured his contact, players wellborn two years so goes with our best wishes.

Rumour is Jones wants to leave early, has taken over 100k from the club for 5 games, if he has any morals he will knuckle down and play another year for us and leave when he contract is up.

Ratu has played 10 games, Jones 8.

Jones has had a bad bout of Covid, is he really refusing to play, or just not fully recovered?

Try googling "covid symptoms can last for months" if you think he's making it up.

Nobody knows (well, none of us), he wouldn't be match fit even if he is staying.

Jones selection should be based on fitness and attitude not because he is likely to leave at the end of the season. I trust Last to make the right choice.

Lets be clear - the talk of Jones wanting to leave is just that as it stands - talk. It's just another rumour in this city of runours as Peter Sharp once said. Even if he did want to leave it could be for perfectly understandable reasons.

But where would we be without supposition and subplot?
Traitors Gate, and off with his head.

I don't know how some on here merit what others [ideserve.[/i
Crazy talk but this forum is full of loonies.

Would rather try and get a fee for him

No positive tests for any of the semi finalists so that's, erm, positive news.

Getting more confident.

Looking at the Wigan site, their fans are moving players around and counting how many minutes each can play and who can tackle.

They’re not looking forward to meeting our Pack!

IF he wants to leave then I agree, he was a stupid signing in my view anyway.

Why was he a stupid signing? He was in the dream team and I thought he was a coup for you. It has not turned out as well as expected but all signings have an element of risk.
