Really down to bare bones now, are there any other academy lads near a debut? But even then aren't there salary cap implications when you give someone a game?

We need Wigan-Leigh to be absolute battle tomorrow night, multiple cards and bans handed out.

I bet they wouldn’t do a separate disciplinary for one game, just do it next Monday as usual.

Oh yeh, we get no luck do we!

Can we just forfeit this one

Realistically our season whilst its "over" is all about saving face after the shambles of a start we had and the unprecedented mid season upheaval we have seen, the main part of that lets be honest is two things.

1. Improve performances and be more competitive (Achieved so far)
2. DO NOT FINISH BOTTOM

Subsequently our biggest game in the coming weeks is in Leeds against the Broncos, we cannot under any circumstances regardless of the rules in place, finish bottom, we would always have that thrown at us. I personally think from the last rounds left to go we have 3 WINNABLE games, Cas away, Leeds at home, London at magic, if we can win two of those we will be fine, i fully expect us to get well beat at Leigh on the weekend given the level of depletion in the squad but if we can have Fash, Lane, EseEse, Cartwright, Chamberlain and Sao all back and ready for the game at Magic weekend i think that's much more important at this stage.

Probably be better taking the 48-0 rather than what the actual result would be

The most serious dilemma is who is going to kick the goals with Lane missing!

Cas is at home and Leeds is away.

Are we going to have another August on slump? Hammering between now and the spend of the season as per usual? Probably be the straw that breaks the camels back for me

We've not got out of our February slump yet

Just a reminder that we've not won outside of the city since June 2023.

February of which year though that is the question?

Has Grix called Fash out in public like he did Balmforth yet?

Will he hell…

He didn’t ‘call Balmforth out’ he got fed up of being asked why Balmforth wasn’t playing and in the end acquiesced, and said he was great at the moments, but it was the other stuff that he wasn’t good at and we’ve all seen this since. it would not be great management to call any players out in public or any employees from any another institution. Those fans who think they should be called out do not coach for a reason. that said we are second from the bottom in performance and top of the indiscipline table so I expect a stern behind closed doors word with the main perpetrators -Sao etc will be had+++. Not a public hanging!

Quote ="Dave K."He did here https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hullda ... 409863.amp'" Fair enough. As a rule doesnt look good to criticise players in public. Not sure its Grixs style nor any coach i can think of off hand, probably for the reasons ive mentioned. Sao has been better since early season. I think default returns with fatigue, pressure and being highly competitive. But our discipline is an issue along with a host of other things! We will learn so much from this season

Hearing that Trueman could be out for the year - achilles. Not snapped, but not far off.

If true, let's hope he has already signed for Wakefield

The poor guy can't atch a break, and neither can we. Smith and charlesmin the hals then

Really feel for him, but we can't carry him for another year.

Hoping it's a load of rubbish. Not because I think he is a good player, but purely for some experience until the end of this season

When is Houghton back? Need another hooker to play with Balmforth, have Hodgson, but he's out on loan at Donny and Hutchinson who is only 18.

Probably have to go with Charles and Walker until Houghton is back

Dans just put an article out. Opposite Achilles. But as said we can’t carry him on the money he’s on. Not his fault obviously. If he’s not signed at Wakefield we won’t shift him on now.

Feel really sorry for the kid but we can't afford to carry a marquee half who's constantly injured,
