Gannon needs training with offloads

If we get that sorted and support play then theres a few try`s there .

yes good point
totally agree and especially Varkulis
he just simply can't tackle
didn't wildbore win 7 awards of Featherstone last year though
so he must be good player
but i agree that he is not performing at the minute

winning 7 awards at fev last year cant have been that difficult though.

Gannon will never break a tackle, but like has been said that's not what his game's about. He's about getting quick play the balls like he did for duffy's kick to the corner for flynn.

Regards Varkulis....be patient, he started slow at fax but came good, on his day he's quality.

What is it with people bagging players the minute we lose a match. It's loving pathetic. Some of you so called fans really need to get a grip because you're clearly not watching the same game as the rest of us.

Good shout. And just as effective alternative to a 17 stone brick shitehouse on the batter, provided he can get down on his elbows as soon as and dominate the tackle.

Never rated Jim Gannon, even when he was with us! Just never seemed fearsome enough and never broke a tackle, can't believe he has been at such good clubs for so long!

thank you


with regards to bUsTiNyAbALLs, people dont just have a go at players when we loose one match
unless you haven't noticed we have actually lost 3 out of our 6 matches so far
so im not just basing this on one match
these players haven't performed for the whole season and need to show abit of pride
maybe some more local players will provide abit more of this

I don't think it's through lack of pride though that we are losing games. We've just lost our coach recently, our squad is unbalanced up front, it's average age is very young and it hasn't played together and settled for many seasons like 'fax etc.. There are too many variables going against our favour to pin point certain players for lack of pride. The last team I saw play without any pride was Frank Endacott's side of 2005, now that squad lacked pride.

Our young pack matched Halifax's for much of that game and if it weren't for stupid mistakes, 1 or 2 decisions going against us and being a little more creative and clinical in attack, especially when we dominated their line for so much of the 2nd half, we could have won that game. As it happens, Halifax just had too much in defence and are the side to beat in this competition.

We are going through a transition and we are moving in the right direction. We've got a much stronger squad than last season and when you take into account all our recent troubles and restructuring we've come a very long way in a short space of time.

jeese you must have been there all day typing that only joking
yer your spot on about everything to be honest because we could have easily won the game
and we are alot stronger than last season especially in terms of the forwards
some of our forwards last season were woeful eg. sam barlow, danny hill
although i can't understand why we got rid off dayne donoghue and rob draper
they where good players in my opinion
