I know there`s already a post on this subject but just found out tonight and this is a absolute shocker and needs another post the emphasise the glue sniffing at the club ??

WTF ??

what i meant was i can see a reasoning to it. I didnt say i agreed with it

Just get in before Little Rich - YOOF!!!!

It is a shame about Danny. I can't say I fully understand it, though I am trying to. I understand that his opportunity at fullback would be limited, but he can also play in the halves and at hooker. He's still young enough, and quick enough, to perhaps move into the three quarter line. If the club didn't see an immediate future for him at the club, they could have loaned him out as a dual regger for a season or two, and decide then whether or not to extend his contract any further after that.

Other than him, I'm not too worried at all by the release of any of the other players, and can even see the sense in it. It's some of the dross we've actually kept on that worries me.

The only thing we dont know is how much the players are costing that we are keeping. Maybe we've kept them as we could get away with lower end salaries, ready for post September 1st

I'm saving my judgement on the squad unitl its complete. By then we may get an understanding of some of the "strange" decisons that we have seen over player recuitment

No amount of training makes people backup the way Hulme does and he also can beat a man by stepping and accelerating away (another trick that 95% of rugby players never quite get good at).

You also get 100% effort, quick distribution and good technique when tackling for free.

I and many others forgive him the mistakes he's made recently for a number of reasons, such as age/lack of experience, playing out of position and because we all want to see local lads getting a chance and doing well.

I don't care what position he's playing, he's a natural rugby player and if our coaches can't see that but think that Coyle, Allen, Pickergill etc are good players for Superleague then it makes me worry about the future on the field performances of our club.

I'm also sorry to see Lunt and Varks go, but when it comes to Hulme their decision is just wrong!
