McDermott is an idiot for leaving Joe Mbu to rot away in the reserves.

I've just noticed that Mbu isn't rotting away in the reserves today, hes playing at Skolars.
Apparently he is anyway..
Played for the reserves last week.

Personally, I don't think fitness is stopping Joe from getting into the first XIII, when playing for the reserves last week, he put in his work. He did what was asked of him, etc.
And then he was warming up for the first XIII, and he didn't seem that worn out, like most other players i've noticed playing for the reserves and then warming up with the first team.
For example, Sam Thompson, played for the reserves about a month back, and then he was warming up with the first team, but he looked completely knackered, he spent most of the time at the other end of the field leaning against the advertisments, looking completely dead on his feet. I know Thompson's come from the NL's so his fitness won't be that great anyway, but surely if Mbu's injured then he would look tired.

Is this Oli Wilkes, as in, the Oli Wilkes that played for Leigh?

Good god.

Talk about scraping the bottom of the barrel.

You really have no idea about RL do you, he's been superb this season.

Id be disappointed to see Haggerty or Mbu go. Esders and Wilkes possibly marginal improvements though if both in next year.....

My calls for a quality half back are getting no where so my next choice is a high quality Centre. We need more fire power and creativity so I hope BM has someone lined up from down under.

Yes, a centre please. Preferably a big, powerful one. Wells has been poor this season too, maybe due to carrying injuries but we're lacking class out wide.

Hadfield said in the commentary that Joe is too good for that division.

I would like a impact forward 6ft 6 18 stone and fearless, that when we are near the opponents try line He is their centre of attention and gives Us space.
