Miller is at least enthusiastic but we have made our choices for whatever reasons.

Sadly Gaskell couldn’t tie his laces.

That's the issue. I wasn't unhappy about Miller leaving, thought it was time to be honest. However absolutely amazed we never recruited a replacement and relied on that useless stiff Gaskill. What were the club thinking about if they thought that was a good idea.

Well the replacement was supposed to be Smith, it’s be interesting to see if any other SL club was interested in him.

I think he'd have more chance of getting a SL contract than the bloke wearing our 6 shirt

Speaking of other teams, JD seems to have South's working well together

I wonder if Trinity ever seek JD’s advice on possible imports?

Atoni is ex-South’s but didn’t get a look in at NRL for last season by JD….

Heard today Max needs operation so could be out for a couple of months at least. God knows who will play fulback Gaskill too slow and no recognised 6 either. All looks a bit bleak to me.Our spine looks weak compared to other teams.

He was a rooster when we picked him up.

Loan move for Hampshire? He would've been perfect for this situation.

Jesus wept that’s a blow. Gaskell at fullback when ever I’ve seen him is a turnstile in defence. Our attack on Friday was non existent so can’t comment on how he chymes in

Re: Other team discussion : Sun Feb 26, 2023 8:15 pm  

It was our choice to go with only one experienced full back and at best a few fill ins however this was not foreseen to be a problem by some. We had on Friday a centre at stand off, an half back at hooker, a winger at centre and Gaskell at fullback. I know they may have played in these positions before but it is not what they are recognised for.
