If you are good enough, you are old enough Vasty, obviously JC just is not quite there yet in terms of the players we have in the squad which as you allude to shows great strength in depth.

Matty Ashurst is effective for the full 80 in the SR, Pauli Pauli has been playing in the second row on the last few outings, so that leaves us really with 1 bench spot for the second row? For me that goes to Batch over Horo, Horo whilst not doing too much wrong has been disappointing for me so far and I expected a little more from him.

Jordan played most of his career at back row but for past two seasons as a loose forward middle. He enjoys it there and played well for Wakefield in pre season. At Dewsbury he's had MOM, made 50 tackles twice and scored 2 trys in his last 5 games. He can still play back row and even hooker. He played hooker for Dewsbury and Wakegield reserves away at Wigan, scoring from a scoot.
Doesn't wish any player injured but would love a chance in the middle should it arise. Covering other positions if needed.

Wishing Kirmo a speedy recovery ready for his testimonial year. Sure he'll get plenty of support in all his testimonial events. Would love a past British Trinity team to play a past Trinity exiles team as one event. A great servant

I watched the Toronto v Dewsbury match last weekend on Freesport just to see how JC performed. I may be mistaken, but I thInk Jordan's was the only name that the commentators (Brian Noble & some woman who just seemed to be stating the obvious all the time) didn't mention, and he seemed to be either the second or third man in at the tackles. I was a little disappointed in his performance, but I think we've got to persevere because I'm sure he'll be there or thereabouts at some point.

This is a big opportunity for James Batchelor to make a 2nd row shirt his own. Annakin to take the bench spot.

Jordan played carrying a dead leg injury, due to ridiculous carry on with visas going to Toronto. He proved himself in pre season, which I’d have thought any GOOD coach would have rewarded, but never mind somebody’s loss somebody’s gain and all that.

Thanks for that response Big lad. I wasn't aware that Jordan was carrying an injury.

No problem, the same happened to Barrow, pointless exercise, got to see the Niagra falls though

Ah!! But did you take a trip on the Maid of the Mist???

?

He did not me, I had holidays booked at work for the trip..but... don’t get me going on that one.

It’s been a season full of question marks and head scratching

Dont know how true it is but i was told that a up and coming youngster was coming but after much advice in regards the coaching he changed his mind therefore signed for a much bigger club.
Back to danny gutted for him hes been a great servent but do hope his new contract is not mega money dont think he gonna ever be able to play a run of games no more

Isn't that just par for the course?

Kirmo will be able yo supplement his (reduced?) salary with what he earns for his appearances on The Super League Show and RugbyAM. I haven't quite made up my mind what the latter show is supposed to do for the Game

Rugby AM is truly a god awful and a small time show.

Well of course you don’t know if it’s true you never do but you always post it anyway.

If this mystical kid went to the big club he did so for money not coaching because that’s how it is.

What a complete load of garbage! You've made it quite clear you dont like Chris Chester but to post crap like this! Unbelievable

We tried to sign a replacement from Australia but the rfl have blocked it.

They just can’t stand us being in the top 8

May be garbage but it is what ive been told.

Wow, I get how frustrating the situation must be for you but that really does sound quite bitter towards Chester...

I’m a fan of anything rugby league, so for me this show is far better than what sky put on after dropping boots n all .
Not only do they bring super league news and articles but also from the grass roots of the game , where all Rl players started out .
I say long may it continue to bang it’s drum for rugby league on airwaves that are crammed with every other sport but our own .
But just my opinion of course .

Me.....never, whatever makes you think that

Don`t be writing into League Express like Watts Dad!



Anyway from an outsider looking in, purely on his performances in pre season and from what I have heard at Dewsbury (Not seen him play there my self in all honesty) he should get his chance with us - Is he OOC the end of this year?

I think you're being kind - it's absolutely cringeworthy; laddish, amateur hour stuff, that confirms all the worst RL stereotypes.

They're getting better, the production quality has gone up and they do a good job of getting round the big rugby league events. They're not tied in with the match broadcast rights which is a massive hole in what they do which accounts for a lot of the filler material mostly with that clown 'Wagga'
