Two forwards on trial as RM trys to cover the void that Jacob Fairbank unfortunately left.Neither appears to have any real pedigree.Noticed in the rugby press our friend nosey Parker estimated our support at Wakey as 1300 of the 2100 attendance..

Where has this information come from?
If we have signed them then welcome to the club. In RM we trust and I do, more than any other coach we have had in the past few years.

Barber been on trial 2 weeks now and Unsworth's trial started yesterday.

League Weekly has Ed Barber as a half back who was playing at Huddersfield Rugby Union and had previously been at Swinton so Marlon Billy would know him.

Andy Hunsworth can play prop or second row, he has played for Rochdale and has had a spell playing for Queensland club side Sarina Crocodiles.

Both are young lads 25 and 22 respectively, have a good pedigree and are been given a chance to show what they can do.

Which one his he, 10, 13?

By the way the play the ball looks faster than we get most weeks.

Re: Ed Barber and Andy Unsworth : Wed Apr 29, 2015 8:23 am  

Yeah, net sure about the standard not being that great. Most of the passes go straight to the receiving player without him having to reach forward or back, or to pick it up from his bootlaces or jump in the air for it.

RM hinted at "core skills" being lacking in his Sheffield post-match interview, and I think getting the ball moving at speed across the line could reap massive dividends for us.

We're well into RM's tenure now and if some of our players haven't got the core skills he wants to have a look at the coaching methods and if that's not the problem he needs to ship certain 'coreless' players out. I still think we are on the right track and Sheffield was the first time we have been well beaten but we need to turn the other narrow losses into wins.
