Agree with you offside monkey. Very fair summary.
Look forward to the re-match.

On a totally different angle, in the programme gilly was saying we - giants - are only SL club to have a full time injury rehab coach. Me thinks you guys could do with 1 too......or 2 or 3 even

We could do with someone explaining to Royce what one is!

Not sure he's the man. More like McManus and the directors, since they hold the purse strings!

Gillys comments were interesting and sensible. Try and read the full interview in the programme. He was using this an example of how 'professional' and forward looking giants were, and other players such as Mason and ralieigh have mentioned it in previous interviews too.
In a high contact sport like ours, would seem like an obvious job position (every NFL team has them) and what surprised me in the gilly interview was I just assumed all teams would have one. Surely getting players back from injury quicker is a big deal...

Not all clubs will be in a position to afford one. Saints, for example, have had a new stadium to fund. That has to take priority just now. But after three seasons of injury problems, especially the problems this season, it may be that once we're installed in our new pad, such a position might be added to the staff.
