I’m sure we must still be the only home team that’s players couldn’t make it to the ground for a game despite the away side making it, think it was Bradford home around 2012.

I assumed after that debacle we put a stop to players living miles away and choosing not to relocate. If it’s crept back in then I’m not surprised it’s one of the first things they’re looking at for a culture change, can’t believe people are debating it so much.

Pele released. Just been an official announcement in the last 5 minutes. Within the same article it also says we are working on an immediate replacement.

Please be Satae!

Not official yet, buy as good as gone.

Do we need another quota prop, we have Ese Ese, Sao, Ashworth, Fash, Aydin and Chan.

Think we have more needs in other positions.

Unless we keep Walker.

I'd have given Pele more time as we simply dont have props his size in this hemisphere...but only the club will know if his heart was in it

Surely Okunbor on borrowed time too, being sent to Odsal for 6 weeks feels like the club driving him half way to Manchester Airport

Be happy with that, not sure Wigan will release him though.

He has been shocking, I'll disciplined, unfit, dint about 3 good runs in all his games. Failed at three clubs now.

Could have repaid fans after his first game by spending the next 6 weeks getting fit.

Totally the right decision.

I'd hope we bring in a quota player for a more pivotal position such as centre, fullback rather than replace Pele with another prop that takes up a quota spot. With Trueman & Abdul set to be the first choice halfback pairing I can't see a quota spot going on a half.

I'd like to think that there are options out there for us in terms of non quota forwards, I'd be quite happy with another player like Ashworth who didn't get much regular game time at previous clubs but has been a good signing for us so far.

Don't know anything about him, but talk of ex SL prop Reece Stevens coming back from Australia (playing QRL cup) to SL, played for England Academy in 2020.
