Probably deserves a thread of it's own really, rather than derailing the Lockers one...

For me there isn't a ready made replacement for Lockers so I'd go with a more mobile forward there. Someone who's happy to tackle all day. Isa or Partington.

Farrell and Bateman are both very dangerous runners out wide so i think it would be an error to move either of those to the middle.

Not clear who our next 13 will be either - likely one of Bateman, Smithies or Partington.

Lucas Albert, a player who promised so much and never got a prolonged chance to show it joins Carcassonne.

Still some rumours that he will be with a club in the English structure though before long.

Mentioning "issues" when you can't/won't give details/clues does more harm than good.

Hull FC owner Adam Pearson in hospital with Covid-19

I must admit that when the news came out a couple of months ago that 8/9 Hull FC players had been tested positive for Covid I thought that was their season over. I couldn't see them winning many games from then on. Obviously the playoff structure expanded from Top 4 to Top 6 which allowed them entry but at the same time they are going to be very difficult to beat. Fair play to them for that.

The pressure is all on us. League leaders, in good form, playing at the DW....etc!
However nothing is a given... Читать дальше...

I've listened to a few of these over the couple of lockdowns we've had. They've had some interesting tales and guests, mainly Union, but Sam Burgess is on one of them and now Jason Robinson.

It's a really interesting story. He doesn't talk much about the rugby, it's more about his upbringing and struggles. If you've got some spare time, it's definitely worth a watch/listen.

Yes, still here, there hasn't been all that much to post about. Also too busy laughing at the b'ks posted on the other site!
They don't even bother thanking us, if HKR hadn't retired from the season, doubt if they would be where they are now.

Onwards and upwards fellow Rovers

Of course. But equally if they had our bench would not have been good enough so we'd have lost the middle of the game.

I don't think it means that the club is 'happy to accept mediocrity' at all. Sacking Price will cost a big chunk of change that the club simply does not have right now. Are the directors expected to fund this themselves on top of the reported money they have already contributed this year? Even when their businesses are feeling the Covid 19 pinch? Plus as others have said, sacking Price does not solve the problem, as who would they bring in? In fact, the reason we ended... Читать дальше...

Scrums were raised as a discussion point on the squads thread. Thought I'd give it a home.

Would you keep the rules applied in 2020 as a permanent change, or change back? Or is there a different solution altogether?

Interesting deceptive choice of language the powers that be use.

The Government said a further 168 people had died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19 as of today, Sunday, bringing the UK total to 51,934

But interestingly it does not say they died of covid-19.

Separate figures published by the UK’s statistics agencies for deaths where Covid-19 has been mentioned on the death certificate, together with additional data on deaths that have occurred in recent days, show... Читать дальше...
