They just announced he signed for 18 months with immediate effect!!

FFS. Out gunned by Keighley that’s where we are now. Back to the drawing board.

That aged well! Plan B time.

Outgunned by Hendo!!

I wonder if being sent to play for us was the final straw for DC. He took a short look and decided L1 was the best option!
So now we return to where we were 3 weeks ago except the player who comes back in as scrum half knows exactly where he stands in the big scheme of things which can hardly be motivating. Our recruitment this year. Pfah!!

Strewth we haven't really had a decent Plan A & you are hoping for a Plan B? Somebody better break out the crayons & be quick about it.

Wise words DC. Plan A was, in essence, build it and they will come. Plan B was panic buy from L1 with special focus on Skolars, Plan C was get on the phone to Aussie agents. I can’t remember what plan we are on now, possibly Plan X- do the same things we’ve done before that didn’t work and hope it works out this time.

You may well be right BT.

Bet the Ukrainians are happy they don't have Hughes & his pet Lobster in their War Cabinet!

Dane Chisholm seems to be the perfect kind of Journeyman that London used to have no problem attracting. This time around though, he has a young family up north and Keighley have offered him terms to stay until he's 33, by which stage he may well have eyes on a return home to NSW.

I'm not sure if he was loaned to us as a "try before you buy" scenario, but if the club hadn't at least made an effort to entice him south, I think it shows that Hughes has had enough.

For me, we either get relegated on results or Hughes will plunge us into admin and we'll be relegated anyway, giving him a guilt free out (in his mind)......

Reckon Dane was purely a loan agreement doubt he was ever destined to be with us long term.
With his family settled up north the commute likely didn't appeal.
Real shame, he was the thing that's been missing on Sunday, a leader and organiser

Indeed it has shown what is missing. When Lenegan left we had Scott Hill, Mark McLinden and Danny Orr running things. Look at us now.

Do you think we will get a replacement on loan? As I don't fancy our chances vs Newcastle with the current backs we have

I’m going to go with - No. Our management are very happy with the squad. Let’s see whether they can deliver.

Not only is Gledhill an oaf, and completely unsuited to being used in a professional capacity by any club, he's also wrong on near enough everything he ever says.

Here here the man’s an idiot!!

He’s mates with the ‘show me the money’ RL agent who might have tipped him off

Even assuming this is true, why did DH not assemble a stronger squad at the start of the season ? Mustard has been complaining of how it takes time for teams to gel.

Better players, same coach

I'm off to the super rugby today in Wellington as a mother's day treat from my son.
I paid $43 NZ for 2 adults and a child, which is £22.34.
There will be a few All Blacks on show, all the bars and food stations will be open and there's a fair chance that 60% of the seats will be empty, but the Wellington RU have sold 8,000 tickets though local clubs. This means that my son's club get 70% of the ticket revenue, whilst wellington RFU get an opportunity to hook my boy......there's face painting, flags and a mascot.....he is 100% their target audience.
Point being. Rather than offer half price tickets, why not add value to the experience and sell the tickets via amateur clubs giving them a share of the revenue......all the broncos have done this year is drop their pants repeatedly and it's not working.

As expected, only about 11k at the game, but flags, face-painting, his club mates playing on the pitch pre match, KFC bucket hats, wontons and doughnuts.....and on the way home he asked when the next game was......so I've booked another family ticket for 2 weeks time....that's how it works ...it's painfully simple.

Not for Hughes it isn't!
