If Kershaw is fit I’d have him start vs Catalans at the expense of Lineham definitely.

Been very unimpressed with Lineham so far.

The defensive effort for the Gale try was appalling and totally unacceptable.

If anyone was going to the reserves game tonight it has been cancelled FYI.

A little bit cruel... we’ve watched TJ, Topou (sic) and Reece fi this to opposition players and squeal with delight ... it’s two sides of the same coin... I thought the Hull player’s footwork and speed were top notch, that said there was the opportunity to close it down.

Hilarious

The difference between out opinions is Willie Poaching said what I said. You have created your opinion from a strange belief that he's telling lies and hearsay about vax status of the team.

As I have said twice now. I don't care.

When did I say poaching has lied (correct I haven’t)

Seriously you and vastcap make it up as you go along

Yep clearly you don’t care

You care enough to write me comedy essays

Let’s look at a few actual facts on this

WP publicly stated that 6 players had not been vaccinated , tanginoa fifita miller minns have all mysteriously been injured in training dropped or just not been picked.

Now I am only speculating but it’s one heck of a coincidence that we have 5 players that you would have expected to play aren’t

Does it follow that it’s easier to drop minns and Kip to reserves and give miller and fifita week off due to minor injuries than to break any confidentiality - aspect it does

So guess Kt what by feature against saints as he needs a confidence building run out in reserves -

He certainly improved towards the end of the season. Bombed a few tries and some silly offloads early on, but got better throughout the year.

He would be in the starting 13 for me if it wasn't for that awful injury.

From my armchair coaching position the old saying (get back on the horse) is in my opinion very relevant to kelepi ,if he lost his mojo .It’s quite obvious what’s going on without stating the obvious , and I’m sure I’ll be seeing him running out against saints next Fri ,along with the COVID six all returning . I fully understand willie’s take on the circumstances that he has found himself in ,and until France’s status changes it will be something most, if not all clubs will be going through this season . Going to be a lot of first team players losing their mojo’s and running out in the reserves if our team is anything to go by ,and the poor old book of excuses is going to be exhausted by the end .

Not many facts to look at really, only speculation.
I don't read/listen to the coach's interviews so I may be wrong here, apologies in advance if I am but Wasn't it Mr Carter that publicly stated we have 6 unvaccinated players and not Poching, if you believe that the coach is covering up for those players does it hurt to just accept you know different and let it be put to bed, that way there's no recriminations all round, no point causing embarrassment and resentment just so some fans who want to prove a point can say I knew it, maybe try putting yourself in the coach's position.

Re: Kelepi dropped : Sat Feb 19, 2022 10:36 am  

They're either injured, dropped or unvaccinated, ultimately, for whatever reason they're unavailable. Does it really matter why?

To be fair though, if you've been 'dropped' then you are available to be selected, but obviously that's up to the coach isn't it. That is of course if Tanginoa isn't one of the six, then he's unavailable, then he can't be picked can he?! But we don't know for sure, hence the speculation on here, which could have been cleared up by the powers that be, but they haven't named the 6, so it makes for debate on here doesn't it?!?!
