Seems he's leaving Leigh maybe we should try and sign him

Why? Is he a giant forward?

He's rubbish always wàs and flattered to deceive.

Probably easier to fit into our game plan than buying a shirt that I don't really want.

I counted today, I would have been prepared to pay extra for some banal idiocy of my own making, like having "The Pillock", or " Fanny Face" plastered on the back.

Eighty four times later, Ms. Terrorista v.2 (don't tell her) told me, correctly, that I seem to be willing to give all my money to Rovers for no return.

Reckon that leeds will snap him up

I'm speechless that we're interested in spending money on this decidedly average scrawnball when we are desperate for bulk, biff and class in our pack.

No wonder the Yorkshire Post has us finishing at the bottom of the SL table in their predictions for 2016. Is anyone in the media predicting we will finish in the top 8?

Chester is toast.

I don't think Rovers have said they are interested in signing him have they?

Most have us 12th or 11th. If that isn't inspiration enough for the team to show two fingers at everyone. Then they (team+coach) should just find a 9 til 5 job instead.

Fair point, but according to League Express and the HDM we are. That said, I've broken my own self imposed rule of never believing a word that's written in the rags regarding transfer rumours and signings. On that basis, our interest in Brierley is probably fabrication.

He'll probably sign for leeds and peacock will arrange for him to be loaned to you for the season. Is peacock still on the leeds payroll?

Are you really as stupid as you seem?

So that's just the Lge Express then, as the HDM will have just copied their article from there.

He's garbage and not up to SL standard. I expect us to present him on the pitch on Sunday!

Why don't we all just wait until we've had a competitive game and give the doom and gloom a rest

Doom and gloom.....did someone just ring my bell

Frankie. Don't know about you, but if someone used to tell me I was crap at something I thought I was good at, I revelled in trying to prove them wrong and upped my game. Not everyone has this mindset in their DNA but it can be achieved through psychology and desire, allied to a bit of confidence and self belief.

Ultimately, I hope all this criticism and negativity on here and elsewhere delivers the ultimate wake up call and butt kicking exercise our players and coaches need, based on their half hearted preseason debacle.

There was an earlier post in this thread from Hessle Rover that summed it up to perfection. It was about all this low expectation being the best incentive for the players to stick two fingers up to everyone, step it up a level or two and prove the doubters wrong.

I am hoping I see the boys achieve this on Sunday. 80 minute full throttle in your face intensity. COYR. RRTR.

It's in our DNA to concede within the first three minutes. It's a given.
