Agree firm.

nice to see Woody Walker get a squad number, liked what i have seen of the lad 100% player lacks a bit in size but if we can build him up a bit we could have a very good player on our hands

Doubt that, they’ll train right up until Christmas from Monday. Have the break at Christmas and then they’ll be back prepping for the game agaisnt Sheffield on 10th Jan.

I know that but I can’t see them getting 3 weeks off training from now. Can you?

Could just be a week.
Westy said a short break, what ever that means.
Could be a long weekend, or for 4/5 days, no idea.

Looks like a 34 man squad to me that is still in need of strengthening significantly

Can’t believe it’s 2025 season and we still have Griffen.
Sam Hall still hanging around as well two props who offer nothing.

Props mature later than other positions. Sam Hall is 22. Yes he needs to improve but he has plenty of time and potential to do so. Griffin i take your point.

Griffin? No he was a decent second row and a pretty average prop. Now he’s too slow and immobile for second row and a below average prop.

Don’t disagree. Just saying, he was never a prop so we shouldn’t be surprised.
