Lose on Friday and I cant see anything else but Rohan getting the boot.

So we'll probably win by miles and go back to being on our way to Old Trafford again.

If we do lose on Friday dont we collect the set of losing to every Yorkshire side this year?

I agree. I hope we pick up and it all turns out great for Rohan, i really do. We could do without all the merry go round again... but the man has to start getting a tune out of the squad and as you say, i think it potentially leaves the club no option.

I meant sutcliffe being retained as a preferable options to Olpherts who has been a terrible signing.

I always saw Olpherts for Briscoe.

And he wasnt happy as a back up player, so he wanted to leave.

If the back line is fit neither Olpherts or Sutcliffe would get a look in.

Fusitua MacDonald Newman Handley

Get in the real world Fusitua was bang average before his injury,Macdonald hasn't set the world on fire and is a turnstile in defence, Newman is held together with sticking plaster and Handley thinks he's James Tedesco and the second coming to our fullback shirt.

Ha such a laughable comment from one of the usual negative posters.

Fusituas stats show a different story.
MacDonald was getting loads of praise earlier in the season, still one of our most threatening players
Newman constantly injured yes, but still better than Sutcliffe
Handleys a decent winger, not a fullback

Fusitua was actually going well before his injury. Think there was a perception he was ‘lazy’ but stats certainly didn’t back that up.

Handley is good as long as he’s on the wing.

I actually think Macdonald is a better winger than centre, that was where he spent the majority of his NRL career.

Having said all that, I didn’t mind Sutcliffe, he was solid most weeks in terms of performance and not getting injured. He seems to have found some form at hull where he’s not the first person to get moved when they get an injury.

I agree and would be happy to see him there full time next year as long as we sign a centre

Nene's been one of our better players consistently all season for me but each to their own I guess…

Agree with all of that, apart from Newman is not better than Sutcliffe when he's sat in the stands.
