^what he said.

If Thacks announcement wasn't bad enough this takes the pi$$! Imagine how Thacks must feel now.

Easier to understand than the other two duals where I felt we where quite well covered in the reserves.

Gore only got his first run out back from injury at the weekend so not a bad option. Just the dreaded 'dual from Wigan' status.

Id expect I'anson and Mellor in the halves from here on in which may be better balanced but we'll see.

I do wonder how we'll cope without dual reg next year and if we will still recruit mid-season as we seem to do each year with loans to cover over recruitment mistakes.

Thackeray as an individual is a dangerous runner, as a play maker though he's hopeless. I dont want to turn this into a slag Thackeray thread but IMO the club have made the right decision. The timing however............................jeez not good. I have always said I'anson is a much better 6 and now we might start to see why.


Hulme to remain at Full Back and like has just been said Gore has only just got back from Injury.

He's never been a playmaker... Danny Maguire has never been s playmaker, Richie Myler isn't a playmaker!!!
