Having seen Balmforth play a couple of weeks back, I have no issue with his current omission. However what Smith has said clearly should apply to others, but it clearly doesn't.

If there's any justice it will be us and Ipswich. Leicester have just posted their accounts for this last year, another big loss of £82m. They;ve lost £215m over last 3 years... well over the max allowed which is around £112m.. if they go up they will start on -10 points I reckon and will be certain relegation candidates again.. as they won't be able to buy anyone.

I suspect they'll be less than 8000 physically there at weekend, possibly less than 7k.

The short lived one anyway.

Any serious Souths interest and he'll be flying home within the month.

Looks like Bradford will lose Dan Okoro to Warrington although he may go back on loan.

Looks a very good prospect
20 years old
6’5” 105kg
Strong runner
Huge workrate
Doesn’t mind a collision defending or attacking
Powerful leg drive
Offload game is intelligent
Fast and athletic

He played against us a couple of weeks ago and was one of Bradfords better players while on the field
Maybe someone we could have looked at as a project for the future as he’s not... Читать дальше...

The doom and gloom continues. We only beat Cas by 24 points last night!!

It has been going on quite a while and it is totaly infuriating. I wish the referee's would say "I'm reffing this game, not you" & give a penalty against for discent. Would ruin the game for a while until the perps learned but they would eventually.

Edit:
And the same for falling over / diving when they get a nudge off the ball or at PTB area, penalise for play acting and turning the game & players into footballers.

I do think if the passholders can stay away, for 3-4 games, it will at least give Pearson notice that next years renewals will be so adversely affected, the club will be in peril. He may then offer us all an explanation of why we are where we are and the vision for improving our predicament. Or he may just ignore it.

He may be out injured anyway but losing him would be a blow. Lawrence isn't able to play every game, Scurr is out for another 4-5 weeks ans Baldwinson is a way off too. Leaves us with Smith, Doro and the loan players.

I just think it’s better just to enjoy going to the Rugby rather than viewing every game as a must win and the coaches job is on the line - which it seems like some do.

The season will have loads of twists, turns and ups and downs for all clubs. I think were on our best start to a season for 4 or 5 years, lets see where it goes.

This is a silly thread. If the OP really thinks the teams named have "given up" and the people running them are in any way happy about not being in finals and challenging at the top of the table then they haven't spent much time around those clubs. It's just rubbish.

The comparison with Percival is obviously a relevant one given the two red cards.

This may be red-vee tinted specs but when I look at the Percival one, he gets into a very similar position to Byrne (i.e. he's not side on looking to smash with the shoulder, he's pretty front on with right arm low and out to his side). So I don't think either are looking to deliberately lead with the shoulder for starters.

I think he sees the ball going down and almost tries... Читать дальше...

Excellent!

Nice touch with the 2008 one.

Looks like Warrington have got the jump on us with the Bradford Academy prop probably the Sam Burgess effect.

Calf strain. Coach has said that it's probably less than 50% chance he plays.

I think in attack we're fine. Lam Jnr and Moylan are capable of filling the void that Asiata left as first receiver. But Amone was our top metre maker, Asiata made the most carries and of course Ipape is also missing. They're influential players and I think it's showing in our defence.

While the gap between journalist and internet nomark has narrowed substantially and even disappeared in some cases, would it be more accurate to say ‘posts’ rather than ‘articles’?
