Did you not watch Parcell yesterday? Still class….

Parcell is OK, but I'd want more from an OQ hooker.
He hardly tore up trees at Leeds.
Did OK in 2017 when we won the GF, but was pretty average in the 2018 and 2019 seasons, hence being sent to Rovers.

If we can't get a top drawer 9 from the NRL (like Levi), then we should just stick with O'Connor and Johnson and focus recruitment elsewhere.

All this talk of Adam Clune and Hull FC. I'd take Clune in a heartbeat.

We have struggled at Hooker for years.
Mostly stop gap signings for a year or two

We’ve neglected the most important position!

Do you really believe Parcell wouldn’t improve this team? Thought it was a terrible decision to release him, and stand by it….

I would have kept Parcell but we let him go to gain a quota spot.

it may have leveled the field but it seems like a race to the bottom, not the top.

Sadly I agree, watching us last week and Wigan this week v HKR, there are some genuine one paced selling platers in both sides.

And as for rugby brain cells, if you swapped them for dynamite at Leeds or Wigan you wouldn’t have enough to blow a woolly hat off a half back’s head.

Agree sir greg. Seen a lot of talk on social media about how the game is in great health with Leigh and KR getting to the final.. absolute nonsense.
