This is just a thought. I know we now do most of our training at Tong, however does anyone know if we spend any time training at odsal as we used to? The reason I ask is that Odsal is unique with the curved corners etc & this is something we can use to our advantage as we did historically. Surely it would make sense at least for Gale, Gaskell & the other kickers at least to spend some time there learning how to exploit this to our advantage.

I think if they trained at Odsal they should practice kick offs,we seem to do more of those than anything else and I'm sure we will do hell of a lot more on Thursday against Leeds

Sorry but my morale has been broken

Cheer up Roger. There were some players in key positions on Friday who have hardly played this season because of injury. Fakir was on SL debut. As players get used to playing with each other I think we can become a decent side.
Of course a reduction in the points penalty would help and a glut of new injuries would be disastrous.
I fully expect us to be beaten next week but if we can raise our game in the big derby, show improvement in performance over the next few weeks(and Wakefield keep losing,) there's a chance.

Indeed. We'll run out of time this year, but we have the basics even if short of bodies and numbers made up with loans.

I've notice recently that even my wildest dreams have stopped showing a pointspenalty reduction

Wash your mouth out with saopy water RIGHT NOW, EVERYBODY knows we mostly always beat Leeds. They are going down! (Well, they are on Thursday, in the long term it's more our sort of problem)

Not sure the corners are really much to take advantage of these days, they are far flatter than they used to be, almost to the point of being barely noticeable and I suspect they barely influence the ball movement, if at all.

It's a bit like saying a pub darts player gets an advantage 'cos he knows there's a draft when the tap-room door opens...

Full mouth wash undertaken. Apologies for saying SL debut rather than Bulls debut.

Opened the thread by mistake. Though it was a poll on whether the team should do any.
