They are a horrible team in so far as stretching behaviour to the limit, placing the ref to give them in most case's the benefit. They are prepared to injure playefs, eg, Chris Hill rightly penalized & 10mins - sin bin , however melie starts, Bill held, Casty runs in & continues to pull Hills let from his ankle, full stretch, this can cause a torn groin or knee injury, it's a tough game without that mentality ! Also, Blake Austin injured on- in a one man tackle & on the floor held, Tomkins then 2nd man in + use of knee then 3rd man in, on top of a player calling out on injury, ref watching on & is useless in protecting players ! Car too many shenanakins going on, Catalan contesting all decisions, had or very poor attitude, does nothing for the game !!!!

I agree with you, but.....that's what you do isn't it? You push things to the limit and test the officials to see how lenient they are going to be, clever teams know what they can get away with! They play with aggression, especially the forwards, that's partly why we are in the state we are, because we are not aggressive enough! It's all too passive and soft from us, our pack gets beaten up most weeks, that is why we are not competing.

Correct, Wigan did the same to Hull this week, bullied them, Hull couldn’t react, job done.
Tangata from Halifax is one we are looking to get over the line according to League Express. He trained with us last week apparently but deal collapsed as Reynolds not willing to go the other way. We are working on an alternative deal with Halifax.
Hansen from Widnes was also on the cards but fell through as Widnes got to the 1895 cup final - again according to league express.
Also says we are working on other deals to try and get players in before transfer deadline
