No vasty- if Warrington had played like they had when they played Wakefield- even Huddersfield would have beaten them playing as they did on Saturday!
They were shocking.

I’m pretty sure the club will have got a few months notice of that, plenty of time to bring in some cover
That said, Verity is the commercial manager, she sells Sponsorship and hospitality packages.
She doesn’t do the marketing and they are totally separate things
It should be unchanged unless Williams is 100% if he is I think wrench will miss out. Harsh on him but Dean has to have another go surely, even if Widdop and ratchford were both available as well as Williams Dean would deserve another game IMO.

I'd like to see Halsall given a start but I don't think Peet will select him. He would play opposite King who is an experienced and strong player. We could see Bateman playing right centre with Isa 2nd row and Shorrocks on the bench.
I reckon we'll go - Field, French, Bateman, Thornley, Marshall, Cust, Smith, Singleton, O'Neil, Ellis, Isa, Farrell, Smithies. - Havard, Mago, Shorrocks, Byrne.
Peet may rest a prop and bring Partington off the bench

Wire Quin, I would imagine if a new appointment is made, the club would only consider appointing a senior player as the Manager, such as Rhys Curran, or the likes of Joe Mbu or Rob Powell; essentially an already London based person, and again roll the dice on someone unproven.
I would not want the club that go that way, and thus have refrained from suggesting someone when there appears little chance of the type of manager I want.
The types of options I would like I think you can eliminate. Читать дальше...

I'm pretty sure I read that Danny Ward is settled with family in Surrey. He has a well-paid coaching job with Rosslyn Park Rugby Union and his wife and family and settled with jobs and schools.
I guess in the end money would talk - but it would take a lot of it to persuade someone to uproot his family from a nice house in Surrey to come and live in Bradford.

Band booked for post match in The Phoenix. Is it busy in there after games?
Still no kids-zone, but would a late offer to Dons fans on Saturday to come Sunday for a quid work?
Sub 700 gate on Sunday would be horrific, especially if we get the points.......if Dons lose Saturday I'd let their fans in on Sunday for free,

This week's mediocre effort is
Wakefield by 8 (well predicting against them didn't work so why not)
Catalans by 10
Leeds by 4
St Helens by 8
Wigan by 6
Hull FC by 16

Woody just coming into some form would be a frustrating loss if he doesn’t make it with LJ likely going to 1 and Aston coming into the halves and if we are replacing Bob from within a choice between Tangata or Laroyer to 13 and Calcott or Morris completing the pack.
We need to sort out the left hand side edge defense then the biggest threat will be how many of the 80 minutes we play with our heads on, anything close to our best and we should rack up some points and have enough to take it.

HDM: "Sources have confirmed to Hull Live that the Fijian hooker will not be swapping West Hull for East Hull with Hull FC hoping to tie Lovodua down for the foreseeable future, leaving the Robins still on the hunt for a new hooker to pair up with Jez Litten in 2023. Rovers will be able to speak to off-contract players at other clubs from May 1st."

Its been a funny old season for St Esteve and one round left see us 5th with similar points to Avignon who most would say have under achieved.

From the highlights we have seen some decent play and some poor play and whether that means there is no new crop of French youngsters coming through to follow up the last generation I think we might need some time to see.

Not sure I agree with the coach that it was close.
The coverage I saw made Hull clear enough winners.
Need a decent home win to keep spirits up and stop this becoming a blip.

He has been really good this season so that will be a real loss.

Speculation on my part but I think JJB had a different take on it that Agar. JJB has said numerous times that he doesn't believe in playing players who aren't 100% recovered, I think Agar thought differently so JJB doesn't seem to like giving precise dates/timelines.
I would suspect Myler might be earring fitness but with the other stuff going on might not be mentally right to return just yet.

I'd definitely like to see Gale stay at the club in some capacity. He's been a great player through his career and will be a good asset to the coaching team if working with you youth. I reckon a lot of it is down to him why Ben Mc has looked a better player this year.

I've totally lost track of any timeline for players expected returns from injury. Hoping Rohan Smith benefits from the return of the likes of Myler, Fusitua, Sezer and Holroyd for the Salford game, but the club has been very quiet on this.
Wynne is back this week.
So looks like the only decision is who plays 7.

Could be wrong but doubt O’Neill can do 80 minutes at SL level at this stage
Big mismatch in the game between Walker/Clark to O’Neill/Shorrocks.
