He was also poor from a playing point of view
carried last season by Clifford

You missed Abdull out.
A 3 year contract for a player with recurring knee problems is another that will come back and bite us.

Almost sad to see the size of him on Saturday, this is a bloke that is 29 by the start of next season, hes not a young kid who needs nurturing about his diet anymore, there is no excuse for a pro sportsman get themselves in that state.

I think we all know it's last chance for him, reduce the weight and he will get injured less.

Does he have the motivation though, he has done it before, let's see what happens.

That's all we can do. I am hoping that a new coach, new (hopefully) environment and culture, and a new set of strength and conditioning staff will motivate him. But a lot will be down to the man himself.

Same can be said for all the squad really. We know they have had issues but I genuinely believe the club are making and continue to make good appointments to address things. But the club can only do so much and the rest will be down to the players buying into it and their self motivation.

Abdul dropped. Disappointing for us

Grix going down the 'need to put an effort in for Carlos and Houghton' angle as this week's motivation technique

grix is clearly clueless

that's fine for him as an individual but the club have recruited him into a key position for next season. If he doesn't get in shape he should be sacked

There's a long list to choose from.

I don't think he has. Even when he got picked for England after producing the form of his career he was overweight but at least it didn't affect his performances. I don't like to criticise individual players but watching him last week was embarrassing. I've never seen a half back as overweight as him even before the full time days. He must be 3 stone overweight at least.

This is not fat shaming because his job is a professional athlete who should take responsibility for his physique not only for himself but for good of the team.

It frustrates because with the talent he has he should be one of the best half backs in SL.

God knows what Cartwright and the conditioning team think of him. Maybe the only solution is to fine him like they do to footballers even when they are only a few pounds overweight because dropping him doesn't seem to work.

Since the start of August our average score is roughly 8 - 44.
Don't think any of us will be in any way surprised if that's the final score tomorrow.

Catalans seem to have a few issues in scoring of late, but I'm sure we will be more than helpful to cure them of any lingering problems in that department!

By 5pm Saturday we can all try to forget that the past seven months really did happen and go and do something else infinitely more enjoyable, at least until next February when the merry-go-round will start all over once more.
