Ross Peltier out for 12 weeks : Thu Feb 19, 2015 3:41 pm  

According to the website he's out for at least 12 weeks following an op.

Absolutley gutted, thought he was going to make a real impact this year. Still cant understand why he didnt get more game time last year, he seemed to break the tackle with nearly every drive.

struggled to break a sweat against Swinton, we desperately need a quality prop, too many ball players, not enough tackle breakers

I wouldn't have him cleaning the boots never mind playing.
Bone idle won't do hard work and in a 20 minute spell lucky to get 2 or 3 drives out of him.
There must be better forwards around than him at Siddel, Bowling or Dudley Hill that would like to give the professional game a go.
Our pack will get murdered this year just can't understand why we keep signing backs.

Dam and blast.
Was hoping to see really step up this season.

I read some garbage on here but that tops the lot. Good job you're not in charge of player recruitment, I'll let you into a secret, a Super League club offered Ross a deal in the winter.

Yes I agree HT, people can write what they want but somteimes I despair.

I say what I see.
Barrow, took the ball in twice in the whole game.
He's maybe had 2 or 3 decent games since he's been with us.
The rest are mediocre to poor.
Not just my opinion, lot of other people in the crowd are of the same opinion.
Good props would take a ball in at the start of his spell twice in a set of six.
He stands around like someone who hasn't played the game he should be demanding the ball.
Not waiting for someone to tell him its his turn to run with it.
Also defensively poor.
Player recruitment is based on how much money there is to spend and this year it shows there was none.
If he's the best we can afford then so be it but it doesn't make him a good player.

Look on the bright side, i am sure our "coach" has another past it mate or relative who needs a few quid at our expense. Oh but wait our Director of Rugby will rein him in him. Oh but wait, he has resigned, read between the lines anybody. Maybe the level of professionalism was more than he was used to?

I think peltier has huge potential but is a long way off the finished article. He needs someone with a bit of patience to bring him on. With the right one on one coaching the big fella could be a barnstormer.

Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
