Good news

Good player and nice to see we are still looking to build on the squad and increase completion for places

Re: Joe Shorrocks : Sun Feb 26, 2023 6:28 pm  

I think it’s a stand off we need and quickley , hoping Mellor is back soon , but it’s clear Reynolds or O’Brien aren’t good enough .

Ian, a quality class half to collaborate with Lam should have been a priority before the season started. Let's hope Mellor can make a difference when he returns.

Quality stand-offs don't exactly grow on trees.

Let's get some time with our back line playing together before we start judging our halves too harshly.

Well I've always judged Reynolds & O’Brien as average at best. Like I've already said, Let's hope Mellor get's back, and makes a difference. Drinkwater was without a club at one point when Catalans told him his services were no longer required. Did we ever look into that one?

Re: Joe Shorrocks : Sun Feb 26, 2023 7:50 pm  

We were already over quota spots. Who else would you have let go to allow Drinkwater to join us.

Re: Joe Shorrocks : Sun Feb 26, 2023 7:56 pm  

I hope everything is ok with Impape and that this move is just to add depth to the squad and not a replacement.

We started recruiting 10 months ago, so without being disrespectful, I would've let Ben Nakubuwai go and, we should've been looking for other forwards back then who was on the merry go round. It's also clear a quality halfback was required back then. Let's hope Mellor get's back asap.
