I honestly can't either remember seeing him play

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Tue Aug 20, 2024 10:08 am  

If we're running out of half back targets, I wonder if we'll try sign Jake Granville for a year to play 9 and go with Cust and Abdull in the halves

with abdul at 7,we need a half with speed and some flair at 6.cust wouldnt be a good fit.

Matthieu Laguerre available from Catalan. Can cover Centre and Wing, should we be interested?

I remember seeing him a year or 2 ago tear rovers edge to bits at their slum and thinking catalans have got a decent local lad on their hands but I'm not sure what's happened since, they'd rather sign average oversees players that give their youth a chance.

Strange one, broke onto the scene looked a good player with a good try scoring record however has found himself out of favour, i think he's a decent player from what i'd seen and, again, is better than what we have.

Fash made 47m off 11 carries. Made 18 tackles with 3 missed at weekend. Make your own mind up from that for a forward

Two sin bins and a suspension lately. Was arguing with a London player within minutes of coming on on Saturday. Has become a total liability. Coupled with the above stats and it shows he’s adding no value to the club.

I would rather we get rid and get someone who can play more minutes, make more of a positive impact on the pitch and have fewer disciplinary run ins.

In the Saints game he carried 7 times for a total of 26m. Really is no wonder we're getting steam rolled by teams and can't exit our own half and get pressure piled on.

For some reason this vice captaincy seems to have made him think he has to be some sort of enforcer. Doing that against Rovers and then playing like a pantomime villain was ridiculous. Grix calls out Balmforth because of mistakes he makes! Why not call out the so called senior players!

All this talk around Fash is pointless as he wont (injury dependant) get a look in next year

Props will likely be
Ese Ese
Ashworth
Aydin
Sao

Will be between those 4 IMO and there's even chance we could sign another prop yet

Think his best chance of playing will come at 13 if Asiata gets injured but even then there's others that could be better suited to cover... Abdul, Cartwright, Holmes etc

knowing this club they will move him to centre and use his speed
