Every team needs work horses to do the hard bits

Yes, I agree.

Lots of these big aggressive props are great in short spells when the team is on the attack, but tend to be lazy in defence and can`t do big minutes on the field.

Players like King are the perfect compliment to the big boppers and a team needs both types of props to work together.

ive still got a feeling we will sign josh drinkwater on loan soon.

Re: Shopping list for 2025 : Tue Apr 23, 2024 9:08 pm  

Let's hope that no one at the club thinks drinkwater is our long term solution at scrum half

Don’t get the clamour for George King tbh.

Always strikes me as someone who concedes plenty of 6 agains and penalties?

Would rather give Laidlaw or Gardiner more game time this season to see if they are up to the challenge.

Aydin in now from rovers , I know it’s to help us out for this season but these signings this week are poor and championship material signings …. Just numbers. , ability wise won’t make no difference to us .

They are but they're also experienced super league players which might help give some of our kids a rest from taking a hammering every week from grown men.

We have to beat London. If we don't then many fans will throw the towel in. It will be even harder to attract players too. The current team would not beat London with it's injuries so a few new players in will certainly help with that cause. With the new loanees and players back from injury plus Smith no longer coaching we should be able to beat London and hopefully gibe cas a gane

London will probably have the exact same mentality, they'll see us and cas as the two teams they can beat and will raise their game against us.
