Loaners and DR : Fri Feb 02, 2018 10:06 am  

Just reading the courier article and personally I think it’s great to see RM saying those who haven’t performed in preseason will miss out and we will play our strongest squad available.

Foster and Hitchcock to join Maher and Douglas in the squad.

It also says we turned down Mitch clerk but we were offered him first. As long as mutual respect is given and we are asked first by our DR partner then there will be no complaints from me.

More DR nonsense and contradiction.Maher,Douglas,Foster and Hitchcock have neither played or trained with us so how can they be judged as performed in comparison to our own players ?

Is that a fact or personal assumption ? why didn't any of them including our 2 season loanees have a runout in any of our 3 friendlies ?

Beaujangles, perhaps if you paid more attention you would realise Fax had a opposing training session with castleford last weekend, therefore training with Fax. RM made it quite clear that the preseason was disappointing and therefore those players who were haven’t performed will not make the cut. It looks like he has learned the lesson over the last few years. We must start strong and the winning streaks will be fewer and far between amongst most teams this year.

Ok so the selection is based on half an hours pissabout last Saturday.

And the fact the coach sees fit to not to use under performing personnel, instead opting for alternatives to give us the best chance.

Sorry not sad enough to be aware of every training session this pre-season.
Would be interested in who's supposedly missed out from selection.Injuries apart what i would call the first teamers are all involved.

I think it is a very balanced first attempt. Salty is my 19th because frankly he needs to up his fitness level . Tyrer is lucky to retain his place in my view. HItchcock gives some genuine pace . Glad Sion Jones is in ....he is the one who caught my eye .....someone playing way above his weight and experience.

RM hasn't bit the bullet yet on the halves but Fev should show where exactly we are there. That's where the game will be decided for me.
