And I think that Reynolds will offer more over the season than Chisholm and although currently injured Reynolds is not as injury prone as Chisholm.

When was the last time Chisholm missed a game, or a series of games, due to injury?

I wonder if Lam could be back on the menu?

During his time with Hull KR Chisholm had a ten month spell out with injury.

So you're basing the "injury-prone" tag on his period at Hull KR, which ended in 2015?

Apologies, I should have said during his time with Bradford.

Derek has said on twitter (don’t do twitter but saw a copy of the post on Facebook) that we did not show interest in Kerallah or Ford, though both were offered. He also said we are recruiting to strengthen so neither must have looked that way to Lam and Chester.

He did say that there is still plenty of time and one will be announced soon enough.

I must say that the additions so far do seem to mirror exactly that statement of recruitment to strengthen, so no reason to doubt we will be stronger as the season goes on.

Right now I believe we are strong enough to beat Fev with their two recent additions.

Patience and support Leythers.

Good post VL, however, i think Fev just have the edge over us atm but, as the season progresses, i think/hope we are in a stronger/better position to do the business when it matters, hopefully (without any key injuries).

Agreed that it is a very fine line between us right now Cokey. I would not feel 100% confident that we could beat them but do believe we just have the edge with a fully fit team (and that could be the difference come playoff time). That said I didn’t get where I am today by knowing lots about our great game



(Also, come playoffs we have to have an eye to winning the games to get us to the final, which I don’t take for granted with a few teams that can be strong on the right day)

Evening fellahs (& lasses). Irish chap came into Bongsers gaffe today, a Wigan fan who we usually only see over from Ireland when The Pies are in a Grand Final (as it happened he'd flown over for 'the derby'). Knowing Bongser's allegiance of old, he asked whether Fev were a worry and if DB would wave his cheque book at that problem. Answers:

a) yes of course

b) he is already doing so when the right players become available in the opinion of the management that he has put in place - rather than a scatter gun approach.



For Bongser no panic buy on a prop, if a loan prop is not available, others from the pack can & will step up to the plate. Sounds like Green & Ioane should be back in time for the next Fev game - and it won't be being played on a water polo "pitch".



Up The Comics!

.....but for now London Broncos - the title of the thread Bongser reminds himself!

Men against boys. Reynolds pass when he came on to Inu must be a try of the season. Exceptional pass and an excellent individual try. The rest must have done him good. Forwards look the part and Mellor is again on another level.



The future looks bright.
