...Stealing a living. It's not only the fact that he is making mistakes that cost us tries, but that his head goes down like a total amateur whenever he makes them, instead of brushing it off like a (former) international player with his experience should be doing. To think that we are depriving two young lads the chance of playing superleague rugby so this overpaid import can be a total turnstile in defence. This is a true test of Woolford's character , there is no way on earth he should be playing next week. He needs to be dropped and replaced with a 17 year old lad to see if has any pride in trying to fight his way back into the side.

At the moment he is looking like the worse value for money import we have ever had, over to you Woolford, if you want respect from fans and players alike, you must pick AND drop players on what they do on the field, and Uate has been the worst player on the pitch in all three games so far. You picked him because you didn't trust the senior lads to defend well enough, well they couldn't do any worse than Uate has so far. Did someone cut his hands off and replace them with oven mitts on the journey over?

Uate has always been suspect under the high balls that’s what ended his state of origin career and he’s always been a confidence player, none of this should come as surprise to anyone who has watched him over the years
He has a great highlights reel, as did Shannon Wakeman

How long until Jake Wardle is fit DJ? rather see him and Senior down that side

Jake’s fit just not selected

Spot on. Woolford was willing to name and shame ikahihifo, so let’s hope he can do the same with uate. I couldn’t care if we never saw him again based on performances so far. Stealing a wage.
Wouldn’t mind but it’s not like he has much to do, catch a ball occasionally and run hard. No doubt the fact he’s scored a couple of tries will keep the masses happy.

plays one game then 3 months off.

we could do with clough back, not one word from the coaches about him, has something gone on in camp we are unaware of?!

Some players go downhill faster than others and at 32yo, Uate is way past his best.

who signed him? sure we were linked with him before woolford came

Was June when we were first linked with himself far as I remember. Don’t recall hearing his name before woolford was appointed.

Stone wanted him when he was here, at that time he wasn’t getting a game at Newcastle then he went to manly and it seemed to be off, stone worked with him at knights and Fiji, as to who had final say on him coming I’m not sure, he wasn’t at knights during Woolford’s time there

Well if woolford didn’t want him - even more reason To drop him!

yeh thats true there was rumours when stone was in charge having previous links working with him.

now dropped by woolford

have to say he so far has been underwhelming

woolford doesnt mind dropping the odd player.... ollie roberts another

You've soon changed your tune since you signed him

as said elsewhere not given up on him... he will be back too good a player not to be, always hard for overseas players to settle in and coming back from a long injury lay off

frawley and uate need time before being written off

for the team as a whole thats another matter!! big match v hull fc

Props to Woolford for having the nads to drop a big signing he made. Let's hope its the kick up the he needs to start taking the game seriously over here

Just glad it’ll be Darnell out there and not one of the seniors

I would rather Darnell stays at FB, and we try smone else on wing, even murphy. Grix is way too slow now, and every set start on the back foot from his kick returns

Darnell
Innes
Gaskell
Turner
Russell
Frawley
Matagi
Kruise
Taii
Lawrence
Murphy
Mellor

So Jake Wardle isnt playing? Innes Senior isnt even in the 19?

19’s have to be named Thursday, any 19 can be named and then any changes can be made prior to game, stupid rule, not saying that’s 100% but was a team on Tuesday

presume grix is full back in this mcintosh on wing

turner on wing?

Missed out Jerry on wing

How could you!

think he will return on friday along with ikahihifo

jake wardle no doubt be injured again after playing today
