Nicklas is on dual registration at York to further his development. Briscoe is on dual registration at Featherstone to further his development. Burnett, I think, has been injured for most of the year. Ellis is being unceremoniously binned off to Cas, which I find disappointing as I thought he was a very good signing. Don't get why we're not retaining him, unless, of course, we have bigger fish to fry at half back.

Have any of them improved then.?

Save your breath Mrs B you cant say anything against the dobbins without them bursting into tears

Cmon has the level of trolls come to this? At least Mrs B puts effort into it. Must try harder.

I don't go and watch York or Featherstone, so can't really comment. I've already said how disappointed I am about Ellis and hope we've not missed a trick. Burnett I'm not sure about. I recognise that progression of players under Gentle and Hay is not perfect and neither have magical "Uate" powers. Sounds like a Vic Reeves catchphrase accompanied by a silly face.

The word your looking for is NO.

I'm just providing a counterpoint to the latest incarnation of player x "will only get better". "With decent coaching" implies relative inadequacies elsewhere. Mean.

You can lead a horse to water.

Not really. Danny Nicklas debuted at SL level this year and has played 4 games, now gone to get increased game time at York. So not really sticking my neck out to say he's a better player now than last season.

Fwiw I think Latus has been much improved lately, Mrs B.

I quite like him. Nowt fancy but does a job. As you'd expect with a specialist wing trainer as coach

But was displaced by Salter earlier in the season prior to Salters injury.

Its the same people that were saying sandycock should be sacked who are now talking about him like he's the new messiah . Like ive said before they live in a red n white bubble (please dont correct my spelling)

Beats bursting into tears about losing yet another Magic weekend game.

Safe to say I'm not one of them. I've always firmly believed he would be a massive positive for us, Rovers board took that much time making sure they got the correct man that I've always remained full of confidence. Still we haven't rounded the bend yet and a victory on Monday would probably do that and give us the confidence to beat Catalans in our next fixture.
