How many you missing ?? doesnt seem like much of a crisis 3 or 4 players isnt too bad.

why do people think we can just turn up to national league clubs and bugger off with their best players for a month? They are not feeder clubs who exist to keep sl clubs happy.

I think we will be ok. Hudson is a loss (losing your captain is a blow) but we have options. Chase moving into dummy half to rotate with Netherton, Goldy switching to halfback, we have Sione who can cover 6, Netherton can aswell. That is the thing i like about the squad this year. Allthough it is small, it is versatile. I dont expect a win against Saints, but i hope we can produce a display that is respectable. BTW what is wrong with Boyle?

Because that's the way of the world Therailwayendisuponus, in every walk of life people will try get themselves a better job and if given a window of opportunity by a Superleague club, who can blame the player. We lost a lot of really good players to Superleague clubs as a result of being in the National League - Brough, Lynch, Godwin, Manu, Tony, Hudson, to name a few, I know circumstances were slightly different, but we had to accept it.

The majority of lower league players have a get out clause in their contract that will allow them to come to Superleague, and after all the overwhelming majority of them are part time players and a chance to be a full time pro is a chance of a lifetime, with much greater earning potential, the chance of international honours and no more 9 to 5.

What's up with Stuart Jones? We had injuries at the back end of last season so put Jones to Hooker and he was awesome, would be a great stand-in for Raz.

Kyle Wood is no better than the reserve stand off.
