well hull fc can go down there and get a win so no reason why we cant do the same

Fc were 28-14 up at one point. London were in the lead at half time. London are playing with nothing to lose. High in confidence. This will not be an easy task at all.

did you not see they try saving tackle from innes against hull kr on friday night?

Well it wasn't given, should have been though judging by the image on social media I saw, clear try. Nice effort though, would have been the best one since Stephen Wild chased back to ball steal under the posts, now that was outstanding.

Seniors are totally different to Connor. They are both big and athletic and when they develop further and their frames fill out you will see the best of them. I think they are both along with Jake Wardle are ready replacements for Leroy/Jerry/Uate when the retire.

Woolford has said he think Jake Wardle can stay fit and after another pre season will be right up there with the best centres in the league. Keeping him fit is easier said to than done, though.

Could we see a back line of the following in 3 years?

Darnell
Louis Senior
Sam Wood
Jake Wardle
Innes Senior

have to wonder if sam wood will ever return, he would be in our team now if woolford fancied him but no even with the mass injuries still not recalled.

in future you can see him in the second row too not centre.

hope we can keep hold of mcintosh, think he will attract alot of interest in years to come

I know this will get shot down, but i haven't seen any rugby ability from either of the Innes twins yet that suggests they will make the step up. They are big athletes who have matured ahead of their time, but for me with young players i'm looking for more than physicality. Take for example Gleeson and Conner, you could see ability with both of those backs straight away. It's early days but i can't recall anything from either of the Innes twins to suggest they are more than just good athletes.

didnt even go to the hull kr home match did you?

He may not be able to be recalled depending on the terms of his loan.
I reckon Sam will be back.

Of course i was there, i preferred the new music the team came out to, did you? Try not to let a difference of opinion turn personal and we will get along a lot better. My opinion is that i have not seen any attacking flair from either of the Senior twins yet. Yes, he made a great backtrack to tackle, but in attack i have not been impressed in the same way i was when i saw a young Connor, Gleeson, or young Jake Wardle. Of course it is far too early to rule out the fact that it will come, but normally you seen the ability quickly even if it's raw and the physicality isn't there yet. Of course, i hope it will come, and they deserve plenty of time and to be nurtured in such a way as to allow that to happen.

Both still 18, you didn’t see Jake Connor or Jake Wardle in first team until they were 19 and 30, twins were 17 when they made debuts, judge them against the two jakes in a years time, although both have played more super league games than either Jake had at the same point in their careers
