Whilst on the subject of professional behaviour, I fail to see how sacking/getting rid of a first choice spine player without consulting your head coach, this close to transfer deadline is in anyway professional.

Laughing stock.

If we go back to playing Morgan Gannon at Stand Off when he’s fit again, then Rohan Smith can join Blake Austin through the exit door. Moving Austin on is the right thing to do, but let’s not shoot ourselves in the other foot at the same time.

Where did this come from? Has Rowan indicated that this is his plan for the rest of the season?

I'd imagine the likes of Cameron Smith, Corey Johnson and Sinfield will be first in line.

Gannon's not even back in training is he?

We can forget the play offs now, the best we can hope for is to avoid finishing as low as 10th.

It’s in RS interview in the YEP as an option, I think the first one he mentions, and certainly before Sinfield.

How thoroughly depressing this all is. Need some big moves in the market to get fans back on side. I back Gary on this but he now has to deliver big time for the fans the share holders and the head coach.

Nah you forget the playoffs when it's not possible to get into the playoffs, what if they'd thought like that last year?

It looked impossible then.

He says Gannon will be back in the coming weeks, and also that we have a day of the transfer window left. I'd be amazed if we managed to sign someone half-way decent in this time.

I don’t for a second think we will, it would take a lot of cash and GH just won’t spend it. The articles clearly mentions some of our kids taking a step forwards, and Gannon is the first name mentioned. If he’s going to be a stand off, then so am I…

We've just lost our fb and best half though and with newman still out and needing to win 6 out of 7. I can't help my pessimism Im not seeing anything that indicates otherwise. We've not the momentum we had at this stage last year.
