What's ,Serious about rugby league ' ?

[The Firm]

Worth a go i suppose but he'd be way down the list of options even if he got a contract. An untried RU half in his mid-twenties seems surplus to requirements to me but so be it.

If we've money left in the pot i'd rather save it for a quality second row forward, or a grizzy prop with Griffin moving into the back row.

'Serious about Rugby League' predicts us 3rd from bottom!!!!! Only HKR and Leigh below us.

It's to be expected to be fair. Usually 'journalists' predict the table on teams that have gone out and spent a boat load on new players. I think the only guarantee this year, is Saints finish in the top 2. Rest is to play for.

Following on from the uncertainty after Saints, I feel we could finish anywhere from bottom to 3rd. Bit of luck we may even push Saints off top spot but I'd be very pleasantly surprised if we did.

They’ve predicted Trinity 8th, Giants 9th and Cas 10th. Don’t think so some how.

Or..before lockdown we looked the best team in the comp and have strengthend the team quite a bit
Depends which way you look at it I suppose...

Exactly. Some folk live with their glass half full, some with it half empty, others with it already drained....

[Tigersbarmy]

We’ve got a good squad? We won 2 games post lockdown and come 3rd bottom . Must be some squad we’ve got . Be same again long old season ahead .

9th Cas
10hull kr
11 wakey
12 Leigh

Imagine being this guys wife.

Poor woman.

I don’t have a wife , why assume I have a wife ? How don’t you know I prefer men

[Tigers1926]

I'll go with the glass a good half full. We were the form team before the chinks ate summat wrong and I'd have liked to see how the season would have panned out without the lockdown,sssssss. We didn't cope with it well at all, but we get to go again soon I hope As for other teams spending like Viv Nicholson in her prime, only time will tell..

[Sharlotiger]

Depends on what rules we play by next season, before lockdown with scrums and a slower game we were going great but afterwards the game got too quick for us and Powell never got to grips with it and we were shocking.
With many sides looking to have recruited particularly well I think if Powell gets us in the top 6 he will have done a remarkable job.

[True-supporter]

One good signing, two moved out of huddersfield to be replaced by better players and a trail player. We should be looking to bring in another quality player.

[Fumper27]

I see it as every signing is pretty much an improvement on the players they’ve replaced, either skill-wise or their ability to play more than 3 games a season.

The lad on trial has not replaced anyone, I doubt he’ll be here beyond his initial month. Maybe he’s here to make the numbers up in 13v13 training?

[mdean]

Predicting the league is a funny one, I read the article and initially balked, but then again taking out my emotion, if you judge the season on 2019, 2020 pre-lockdown, it is daft.
If we pick up where we did after lockdown, might not be far off.

Welcome one and all to the rollercoaster - must be boring being a Saints fan when the only jeopardy is where in the top 3! I used to have this conversation with a Bulls fan friend back when they were always top - he admitted it was boring most weeks knowing they'd win!

Absolutely this. 100%

With the lack of a millionaire backer, crowds of about 7 - 8 thousand, a small aging ground that limits income generation, a top 5 finnish is certainly over achieving.

I'd settle for that every year.

I am with you on that mate we CAS punch above our weight give us a new ground and a millionaire backer keep our coaching staff then you would see us fly

[ERG2012]

Back on topic

Good luck to the lad. There will be no questions about his fitness and determination. Hopefully he can create more competition for places.

Army rugby is a very good standard to build from

[Gomersal Tiger]

Any news on this lad, is he impressing or will he be on his way back.

[stevieblunder]

It was announced on 12th January.
The one month presumably ends next week.

No news either way.

I thought the club would make a bit more about it, for the publicity, if nothing else.

[Piquad1]

We were always slow at comming forward wi news.

[MrRugby123]

We’ll find out tonight if he gets a squad number or not.

[Burratha]

We’ll find out tonight if he gets a squad number or not.

will be interesting to see... there was also a radio interview recently - he seemed quite positive about it.
