Takarangi's bottled it i see.

Off field issues aside (which the fact he avoidable a prison sentence is quite laughable) he has to be in the top 3 for worst signings in Super League in the last couple of seasons.

I don't think Reynolds is far off the top 3 so far.

Hope he proves me wrong, but so far either been injured or fairly average.

First couple of games for us last year I thought we'd picked up a gem. Sadly it went downhill once injuries kicked in for him.
Definitely.up the pace of the game for us when he came on Saturday but seemed to disappear out of it.
Hopefully he gets a good run of games now on some firmer ground and shows us more of how he started off with us.

Like what you did there?

Quite honestly he should be no where near a rugby pitch for a long time and should be serving time at her majesty’s service?

Comfortable win for us on Friday but whilst its always pleasing to get the win over HKR its just another League game and doesnt put any money in the clubs account like a win last week and a semi win would have done
What we dont need is a repeat of last weeks first half giving away 5 penalties and making 5 errors gifting them most of the possession

Not how the bookies see it. But then get in early with easy win then if owt goes wrong give the lads a good bashing as per usual

Glad it’s not just me who did a double take when reading that about Minchella. Is that the true gauge of the Dobbins being up there with Penrith Panthers?

Will be at the Panthers match on Friday evening and then back home sharpish to watch the TV Derby game.

Hope to witness a Panthers/Hull win although my wife will want a Panthers/Rovers win outcome.

How big is the Rovers squad, they have impressively managed to name a 21 man squad with not one player to come through their academy and that with a few players out?

They only got promoted 16 years ago. These things take time.
