Of course it’s old news and has nothing to do with here and now. The fact we didn’t recruit new faces is the problem here and now.

I said before the oz trip it was a bad move by the club. If we lost watts due to an incident there then it was monumentally disastrous

I cannot understand why Radford doesnt pick Brad Fash, he is gonna be the best prop in the world in a few years. Total wrecking bull like O'Meley, he is a fantastic prop, the 2nd best prop in the city. Cannot understand why he isnt been played.

Like Mtongogo- Similar to Petero Civoniciva in his hard running, the front row looks good for F.C if they continue in the way they are playing.

Did it take you long?

currently i'm seeing parallels with the way the 2005/6 team was slowly dismantled. then we lost swain, cooke, mcmenemy, chester, briscoe and didn't replace like for like. we eneted an extended period of mediocrity (albeit the disastrous decision to sack sharp didn't help matters). we have lost fonua, ellis, watts and replaced none of them like for like

what is a wrecking bull?

Is it possible we can kick start our campaign, by beating the possible world club champions in their own back yard. And all will be well in the world. Come on you ull.

NO

I'm hoping that mini and manu are suffering the after effects of injuries last year and will be better once fully fit. It's easy to forget that a number of our current "fit" players missed big chunks of last year which has to have an effect. Add sneyd, griffin and westerman in plus green, kelly and bowden yet to return.

good point

I'd say we really need to be a lot more clever when we have the ball. Getting bundled in to touch (Faraimo on a couple of occasions), Litten kicking in the first tackle after making a break. Just dumb play.

That said, if the TV camera's were not there, I reckon we win that game. Connors disallowed try for obstruction would not have been picked up. There would have squared it up and we had the wind in our sails at that point.

On a separate note, I really hope the RFL do something about this rule, it makes dummy runners pointless near the line, its supposed to be a physical contact sport FFS.

I don't understand why we have not got an absolute monster on our bench like others seem to have. Junior Moors at Cas, Pauli Pauli at Wakey...why are we not in the hunt for this style of player?

Salary cap.

More like , poor recruitment and retention!

And once they are we will go on a ten match unbeaten run,get to Wembley once again and reach the Grand Final.
That was just a dream Jake
