I think it’s fair to say Dufty has some decent attributes but probably isn’t showing them regularly enough. When there’s a talent like Thewlis who’s come through the academy, and looks the real deal, whose preferred position is full back it’s easy to see why there’s a clamour to get him in there, so signing a proven quality winger (oh I don’t know, like Charnley maybe?) would make sense.

I don’t have a problem with pairing Williams with a half back who can just do the simple things really well, move the ball quickly and accurately with a kicking game that gets us in the right places on the pitch, a foil for a halfback partner with more flair and creativity. On paper that’s what Drinkwater should provide, in reality, like Dufty I don’t think we’re seeing his talent translate into performances on the pitch. Again with Dean and Hayes you’d really like to see them given an opportunity to see if they’ve got the talent to make it.

With Dudson, I’m not as apposed to him as many seem on here, but, I don’t think he makes the 18 when we’re at full strength, and that being the case, when we do need cover I think we’d all rather it be a prospect getting experience as apposed to a diminishing journeyman. I thought Thomas went well early on in the season when he had a bit of game time, ran hard and didn’t take a backward step…

I’d have no issue if Mautautia brought forward his retirement a few months, no issues at all…

Thanks for your continued support and understanding while we try to fix the ongoing issues with the forced early rollout of the new system.

Honestly i think i'm done with the website which i'm gutted about, i love the forum and chatting with everyone, but it just seems daft to have to follow the instructions just to use it.
Hopefully there is another forum somewhere i can find.
I'll proberbly check in once a week but i might not.
So if i don't get to speak to you lot again, all the best, it's been great over the years. COTW.

We sorry to lose you. We do appreciate how inconvenient it is to have to follow some instructions to get things working properly in the small number if cases where people are still experiencing problems.


We hope to release a big ‘fix’ release next week. Be assured we are working very hard behind the scenes to fix a number of general issues.


Thanks for your continued patience.

Lets not lose the sight of the fact that this forum is provided free of charge.  Yes, it's very slow and super clunky, but it's free and someone probably uses their spare time to administer it for nothing.
