Collis along with the majority of the squad aint shown anything all season. When you add the fact that Collis been out of action most of the season how do you judge him.
Last season we had both centres out for long periods and I don't think we missed them that much.

Im not sure if this is true or false, but if it is true then i presume Mr Smith must have a couple of players lined up somewhere.

As much as i rate Collis highly, its a major balancing act. If we can get 2 decent players for the money we are paying Dean (I believe he is a top earner) then its something we would have to look at. Along with the fact he is taking up a quota spot that could go to someone who BS thinks we specifically need.

I would have thought with the unfortunate retirement of Darrell Goulding, Craig Hall back to HKR might have been a more likely option mind?

I was meaning quality into the squad, rather that just at centre.
We need a couple of players that can break the line/ create openings.

A ball handling prop (if they still exist) would be a great addition to the squad.

I'd say players who can tackle are an immediate priority

Training where?
Manchester Airport on his way home

That's a coincidence, you being at Manchester Airport same time as him, did he have owt to say.

Hence the "Apparently".

I haven't been to the ground - Don't know if hes training.
I also haven't been to Manchester Airport - Although it would be nice.

Hearing rumours he has retired?

Shame if so.

Matt Ryan has just tweeted his mum is flying in tomorrow, is that to replace Collis

I think that DC has done well to get back on the field after his latest injury, overcoming the psychological hurdle to cross the whitewash again must have been an immense challenge.

Knock the guy before hes even pulled the shirt on

. His work rate and commitment in the 2011 season was far above any of the this seasons dross anyday.

As I sit here typing this response I can see DC cutting his grass, he lives next door to me

Hope Dean Collis is staying....quality player. Welcome to Stuart Howarth!

Have you got binoculars

very funny

Tell him to get it gravelled,bloody pollen count is getting worse

Leaving it tidy before he goes.

You name dropper you

Are you mad? With his injury record!!!
Can't you go and mow it for him??

Is he cutting the grass to keep it at a short so he can run around without hitting a 'dangerous divot'???

He's making sure that it's top notch for when Dennis Betts comes round for tea.

DC will probs hurt his back on the flight home!

A very classy centre and a bit like Jake Webster he's had his share of injuries but they have been different injuries and not the same one re-occurring. Some lovely attacking touches at the weekend but Shenton was swatting him off with ease when Cas were attacking which hasn't been the case in the past.

Very similar player to Shenton IMHO. No special gifts as such but playing in a half decent team is a very good centre who uses his brain. Again like Shenton not quite Saints or Leeds class but very close.

As for his injury record, it happens.

Has Dean gone officially?

Let's see if Smith knows a blockbusting centre with nothing to do for a few months.
