Mcintosh isn't a winger. So get Martin back in and give us some speed on both wings.

I don't want to see Mcintosh on the wing again. Give him a run at centre, because Carlos is finished and Scott isn't taking his chance.

There's really not much else we can do at the moment in terms of change, with the likes of Walker, Truman, Fash and Ashworth out.

We'll just have to hope they respond to the humiliation of last week.

Tindall was hopeless in causing the first try and then letting the winger go around him by being too far inside of the winger !
Basic wing defence 101 and he totally fooked up there
Wow

I just watched the Mini of the game on Sky - 20 mins
The players are not playing for the Coach or it seems anyone
Okinbur defence in that opening 20 was a utter total fooking disgrace and if he doesn’t want to be here then he can just
fook off to fookery

Pele is simply unfit and no one seems to care - bit like Mahe second time around eating 2 Macdonalds a day after training

It’s a complete Shoite show and I’d say Uncle Tony has lost the dressing room and the new signings have almost rebelled and are anti FC currently

This could be really messy at Giants and I don’t want to think about Good Friday

Pele and Brown have the exact same details of charge yet one gets grade C and 1 watch ban, other gets grade B and just a fine.
There's been far later hits this year than Pele's that have only been given as a penalty.
4 players charged this week and 2 are Hull's. 100% our discipline has been poor but how is it so much worse than what other players are doing that we have multiple players charged every single week?

Also Pele has previous ie he hasn’t cleaned up his act so punishment worse

Regards Okunbor think there is a decent player in there but for whatever reason where not seeing it. Certainly got the size.

I think all the forces are against him:playing in a foreign country, with a poor team with fans criticising him, shy individual etc etc etc. I feel too there is a decent player in there just maybe needs an arm around him? Think Pele will come good too and Brown when he plays hooker and Balmforth when he plays LF!
I’m going to Huddersfield - happily couldn’t go v Leigh. I just go to view a match nowadays not to experience a victory

Re: Giants in the Cup - can we get Up for the Cup? : Tue Mar 19, 2024 10:05 am  

I've not see anything that says to me Okunbor is better than a standard SL backrower, someone like Longstaff, Oliver Holmes etc, both who have been available to sign in the last year or so.

I'd be offering a way out of his contract early if he isn't happy.

If we could offload Carlos amd him and bring in a 7 and a better quality backrower, but this isn't going to happen, as the club has no ambition.

I still have hopes for Pele. Thought he looked pretty good against Wigan. If we had that version of him every game so far this year people would have a completely different opinion. He even started the Rovers match playing okay. 1 massive brain fart and a target has been put on his back by fans, players and seemingly refs.
Given a consistent run of games I think he'll come good, as it will definitely help with his match fitness too.
I seem to remember (possibly incorrectly!?) that Satae took a while to get settled in and wasn't until after a couple of months before he really started looking like the wrecking ball he could be.

You need to be better against Huddersfield and I think you will be. Why? Because you have to be.

Rovers v Hull quarter a very real possibility.

Carlos out for 12 weeks

If thats true, it might be best for the player and club to agree a severance package. It's a sad end for a player who's served us well.
