Thirty five, I think. Last game he missed was the 14-14 draw against Warrington last April. The one played at the KCOM with no fans present.

He's played 55 from 60 since he made his debut.

For me he's our pack leader

Plenty of yellow posts flagging up, must of blocked all the numptys, jobs a good un.

I think if we can pinch a win away at Warrington and wakey itl out us in a very strong position for the playoffs.

Noticed abit of a gap opening
6 clear of Warrington
4 clear of rovers and cas

I thought I was at that game, didn’t Mamo break through Josh Griffins tackle to grab the wire a draw, or am I dreaming it.

It must have been televised, thinking about it Huddersfield was the first fixture back after the behind closed doors caper.

Agreed the restart kick by Connor was almost Sneyd like and smart thinking. I’d just like to see us put the opposition under more sustained pressure on the last when in the oppositions 10/20 by putting short kicks into the touch/goal area to force a drop out etc. We rarely seem to do that and more often kick to the corner or try and run it ending up with a handover. I’d hoped that Gales arrival we would see this improve.

Gale has been brilliant at short kicks into the in goal for a repeat set at his other clubs.
I have mentioned this before that we are not doing it enough but are satisfied to turn the ball over in the opposition 10.
Then as usual when we start to put pressure on them we give away a penalty on the second or third tackle to relieve all the pressure.Its crazy.
Gale now seems to always kick to the corner and i wonder if that is the preferred tactic.
Just hope now we see Gale with a good run of games behind him as he needs to up his kicking from hand.
Jury still out for me on Reynolds

The short in goal kicking game is a superb attacking weapon, even under Sneyd we went away from this tactic, hopefully Jake and Gale can improve this area, especially with Joey lurking about, hopefully taking over from the evergreen Danny Houghton.

Think it might have been Catalans Rider? I stand to be corrected though.

Probably mate, my brain was covidated in those times, I remember a mask, sitting in a different stand, my glasses steaming up, and Bonaire flogging super duper non steam masks.

Indeed it was the Catalan.
