Not the old no half back routine..

I hear Leeds have signed Myler for next year. Does that mean they don't rate Lilley or are they different positions.

Both play no. 6, I think but Lilley is maybe more the organiser and Myler a backer-up but there is certainly some crossover. Myler is more the complete package but is obviously older and more experienced. Could mean they don't think Lilley can make it at the top level, or at least, not to a timetable they're happy with. It could reflect some unhappiness with more experienced Rhino squad members too, or maybe this is to be Maguire's swansong?

I'd say Oscar Thomas 6, Keyes 7 and Johnny Campbell at Full back..

Re: Meeting Andrew Chalmers : Wed Jun 28, 2017 9:40 am  

Speaking of Campbell, did anyone else notice the tone of the injury update regarding Campbell last week? It said he had pulled up in training claiming an injury. They also then put the "injury", deliberately putting it in inverted commas. If there is one player we who's commitment cannot be questioned, it is Campbells.

Well it very much read as if someone actually was questioning his commitment! I don't see any other way to read it.

Campbell seems pretty committed, but who knows what goes in behind the scenes? Also if he has signed for someone else next season, as surely many of our guys will have done, perhaps he's not as committed as he was?

Surely you aren't suggesting players would feign injury so as not to endanger a future contract with another team. Can't believe anyone would do that.

As an isolated incident, then yes, it's a bit of a strange one. But given the poor quality of English used in the Bulls press releases all year, I don't think much should be read into it.

I received an email this morning from Andrew Chalmers asking for a link to this thread, which I sent. So maybe your concerns WILL be heard (or at least read!).

Well Mr Chalmers has now had the opportunity to read our concerns over the last few weeks, and surprise, surprise, he's still saying sweet FA!

So basically his message is he cant be @rsed about the feelings of the Bulls fans.

Thank you Mr Chalmers.

Well next time the club want the fans to dig deep and support the club through troubled times AGAIN,
I hope for f@cks sake that you are not the messenger - cos your communication skills are non-existent

Ricoulous post.

There was a focus group since fr13day & FA's meeting with Chalmers. So he has met fans since. Some stuff changed as a result from that meeting, i believe the changes with the security checks were a result of the concerns raised in this meeting (if i have ny dates right) There's plenty of outstanding issues and questions, but i think the above is OTT. Personal attacks on other posters who have been good enough to share details from meetings is out of order.

Positives, we are starting to sign some players on longer term contracts, some exciting juniors are been signed up which suggests there is some sort of plan long term. Yes i would like Chalmers to communicate more and tell us plan for scenario A, B, C etc but Green did that, in great detail. Peter Hood told us what would happen in great detail too regarding when we needed £1 million. Turned out great didn't it.
