We will have to wait and see what comes out , the club should be taking a very dim view of anybody having to be sent home in disgrace from a traing camp
I thought the build up to this season was about getting everything right so come the big games the mental attitude would be spot on
Whatever happens boys stick together and all that

It is in the rumour section gateman.
I just don’t know what to make of it.
When all Said and done the players are representing the club and town.
They should show more respect.

So we could go

First choice for me. Saw on twitter earlier that Roberts is suffering with sciatica, if so he will struggle to be fit. Article it was in was Nosey Parker though so possibly not correct, there were other claims in the article that are false so it makes me wonder!

Rankin start in the halfs last year for Huddersfield. After five games Mamo got injured so Rankin went to full back for two games. Not because it was not working. Then back to the halfs for three games, then one game at full back and then Halfs for two when Brough was injured. He then played full back for the rest of the season. One thing is that if Rankin was fit he played!

Clarkson for Wardle
Rankin for Hitchcox
Would now like a centre to replace Webster
And a half back to replace Gale (injury not departed)
Would be good if we could get those last 2 for Gales wage.
More like Mata'utia replaced Hitxhcox
Clarkson replaces Wardle
Rankin comes in technically for Webster and possibly stop gap Gale absence.
The one we have not directly addressed is the squad place Springer left. Front row not built on or improved. Millo and Moors and Cook a year older. I would have liked a prop. Would use Gale money on one unless a very good centre or half becomes available.

Clark replaced Gadwin LAST season. Springer made six interchanges appearances. Even when fit he did not make the nineteen. Clark came off the bench 15 times. The blossoming of Clark signalled the end of Gadwin's Cas career.

Reports say Benny is not fit once again, if true an occupation nurse ought to give him a visit and access whether he is fit for his current occupation , if not we ought to cut our losses and let this once very talented player go

Given they only won two of their first 13 games scoring pretty much the lowest number if points in the division at that point si’d say it wasn’t working, along with a lot of other things!

It's 100% true, one player has come away with a broken jaw. They were playing a truth or dare game that got out of hand. One player was the main instigator.
