To be fair to Mick, if you are referring to this Tweet https://twitter.com/TheGameCaller/statu ... 6606490625 then he was only saying what I'm sure most of us are saying 'hopefully there will be reinforcements....'. It wasn't as if he flat out stated that Billy Slater was on the plane from Oz

Think the two may be related - the phone is "doin' my flaming 'ed in".

I've had a strange three days, my phone and sky catch-up device and home network have all continued to work perfectly well on my wi-fi, whilst both my PC and laptop have resolutely refused to find an internet connection. However, I'm back, and my computer tells me the connection is now over 70 Mbps and I'm only paying for 38 - though BT have also sent an email to say the price is going up....and I thought it was all a, 'Brucie bonus', to compensate for missing out for three days.

Ha, used to do that!

I think the job is now done by someone who is, "self employed", on a zero hours contract - they were going to send the job overseas but nowadays it's even cheaper to do it here, in Little Britain.

I thought we might of heard something this week about signings or loans players but it doesn't look that way does it.

Totally agree. I was hoping 5 loans this week and then we could at least try put abit of a fight up at weekend but not looking good. Say we get 2 injury we are even more stuffed week after.

I have come to the opinion that we are definitely going going down because it doesn't look like we are going to be reinforcing any time soon. I may be wrong but I'm guessing not when they can't even announce simple stuff like KR tickets on sale in team shop.

I'm getting to the point where I might not even buy a season ticket now I have my refund.

Just a thought but I wonder if we have written this week off and are bringing players in from Monday? After all sign them now and it's another weeks wages to pay out

We haven't heard a great deal about anything since Lowe and Chalmers took over. They might well be rushed off their feet doing all the hours god sends or they might have changed their minds and buggered off back to NZ for all we know. I don't expect a running commentary each day, but it would be nice to have some idea about what is currently happening up at Odsal.

The lack of any decent reporting in the T&A also isn't helping getting any news out.
