Can you tell me "Jim Jalfrezi" the last time Karl played at either 6 or 7 for the Reds ?

Think it was the first game of the season 3 years ago when we played at Warrington and Wilshere was the stand off and we played exceptionally well.

JR, I know he's been our FB for some time now, I just don't think that he's suited to the position. I don't think that he's big enough for FB in todays game. He's a similar size to Paul Fletcher, but that was in an era when most wingers and centres weren't built like brick shithouses, as most of them seem to be today.

I've always liked Fitzy, he seems to give everything each time he plays.

I just think that his darting runs and support play would be better used in the halfback area. Can't see it happening though, so I'll leave it there.

you should do everything you can to keep hold of this lad. Luckily for you out of the so called "bigger" clubs wigan have s.tompkins, saints have eastmond, leeds have burrow, bradford are pennyless, hullkr have dobson, etc so most big clubs are covered, but you must wrap him in cotton wool, a class act

Thats what I fear also, but if Wigoon pay a three figure sum for a has been, surely a 18 nearly 19 yr old should demand a huge transfer fee.
Slap that on his head and it will keep the vultures at bay.
apart possibly from the above named team who have been known to break the salary cap and transfer records to get what they want
