I agree with that bit. Just don't see why you think it means Lino out for season.

Listening to Powell after the Halifax game, he goes through the injured players, mentioning how long before they're expected to return, but with Lino they're still unsure, there's no need to push for Truman to sign for this season unless the club think Lino ain't going to be back in my view.

Think we're a club going forward with a coach looking back

Suspect you're on your own with that one, pal

Bizzare comment, because we've signed a player that Powell's worked with before? I hate to tell you this as it doesn't fit your agenda but Powell doesn't identify the players to sign, that's our recruitment manager.

Has there been a signing that alegend hasn’t moaned about yet?

Every signing that DP/ME/SM have made and has played, so far, haven't let us down. Injuries form part of the game and all players get them. Jai Field has had his fair share but I'd have him!

Parcell & Rourke to come and I think our starting 17 next year may be complete with the rest coming in to fill out the squad….although I still think another second row would be nice.

How dare he sign young talented players.

I think we have signed some very talented players for next season... there are some risks with regard to injury history... but injuries can happen anytime, to anyone.



I'm looking forward to seeing how things gel

Parcel would be a good coup for a season or maybe two. Still making very positive contributions to KR this season. Smith and Doyle could also benefit for a year.



Like has been mentioned I think if we were to sign a quality 9 then only a second row remains. Unless we renew Hood for a season and potentially extend Boothroyd who also looks like a good un at second row.

I think we'll go with



Hooker

Hood and Doyle with Smith backup



Halfback

Trueman and Russell with Lino backup



Fullback

Max with Rourke as backup
