For all the improvement he brought last season, he's played fifteen games since July 2022. Also last year he had a specialist half back along side him.

Of course, the assumption was he’d pass the message on, who knows.

That would be good news because from what ive seen he isnt what we need. Is he going to get a new club down under though? Cant see anyone giving up a big salary with nowhere to go

Turkey voting for Christmas springs to mind.

if okunbor went home,would we replace him?,we let evans go last season and showed no inclination to replace him.i think pearson is quite happy to coast this season and save cash.

I'd be happy to go with Staveley and Severs (or Jebson) for the rest of the year. It would be nice to use his money on a half or a decent centre though.

In all fairness I’d not blame him if he went home, he’s hardly set the world on fire with his performances, doesn’t look all that committed and the mess we are seeing in terms of on field product you wonder whether the training aspect or lack of could be a factor.

I remember when we were heavily involved in the ice hockey and a player came over with very good numbers but failed to produce when here. I got on well with him and when he said he wasn’t settling and going back I asked how come and his answer was the standard of training was poor and a couple of hours a day wasn’t enough for what he was used to.

Not saying it’s is the case but if it true Okunbor isn’t settling I wonder whether that has bearing if training isn’t exactly taxing or full days

While I think your a right that would be a very high risk strategy, without improvement im not renewing my pass. Ill take my chances streaming games and lets face it theres 15k empty seats to choose from if you want to buy a ticket.

Odd tactic by Pearson if he is deliberately running the team that way.

If (When?) he sells the club, then the only entity he can sell is the team (Players), the worse the team does then the value of his investment diminishes exponentially, as the fan base drifts away. .

It’s pretty obvious we are short of cash and that’s got to play out somewhere

It still costs a fortune to rent the stadium

Covid loans are killing us

We had no real income for 2 years

Adam doesn’t have a business like Fudgell etc

Adam is doing all he can - he really is

It’s hard when you’re juggling cash all the time and suck’s your motivation

It’s also effecting his ability to manage the Head Coaches !!!

Fits in with Clifford saying pre season was a piece of pi$$

Which of our 7 overseas players would you be disappointed if they left tomorrow.

I'd say only Ese Ese.

Think that says how poorly we use our overseas quota.

Think Hoy and Brown are both good players, but Hoy never seems to get a chance to get going, put him in the Leigh, you would see a different player, Brown needs to play at 9, he isn't a 7, could maybe be a 6, but needs to playing with someone better than Smith.

I don't know how hard the training is or if it is p iss easy. What I do know if the players are that ar sed about it how come as professional rugby players they give an aura of I couldn't give a s.hit when teams break the line or score a try. That's not down to the coach or training that's personal and professional pride . Our players seem to lack that

What annoyed me was we made 4/5 breaks in the game and not once was anyone backing the player up.
