Agree that Owens should no longer be an automatic choice.Hopefully the new coach will recognise that his best days are long behind him.No room for sentiment.
Bent was the third player linked with a return to Oldham.
Thought Davies was going ?
Bent's defence was missed when he got injured and he was worth his keep for that! Davies is a solid worker too, we need that sound defensive structure as a base for the more creative players.
Jack was subbing as hooker under Sheens and could make that his role. He knows the plays.
I mentioned before that Bratfud have released Brad Foster (prop, aged 27) to make space for Doro. Can't recall him tbh but he left Haven for London?
No doubt AC will have some ideas already so we'll wait and see.
An ex Lion? Has he been relived of his duties at Swinton now then? I thought he was coaching Swinton until the end of the season with one eye on the biggest job in the Championship come Oct 1, although I could be mistaken.
Strange news from the club - august 3 rd name squad for the game with tilleke in it, august 4th he is loaned to Rochdale, we must be short on numbers

An almost ex-Lion then! 🤣
Yeah he's staying until end of term, and the reaction of the fans to him tomorrow, will be interesting.
Report to follow!

Would be a poor show if they gave him any stick imo. I’m sure he is still focused on trying to keep your team in the Championship. I think you will stay if you win tomorrow and win one other game.
@spelly Hopefully mate! Whats your view on our new coach?
As I've said on the Coleman thread, he did a decent job for us, but he's now an ex-Lion, so do I wish him all the best? No I don't!

Your 2nd team soft spot is Widnes Vikings. You know it. 😂👍👌
So you should wish him luck and fans should get behind him to stay up.

2) So you should wish him luck and 3) fans should get behind him to stay up.
1) My second team is, always was, always will be, whoever are playing the Pinks, so tomorrow, I'm a Saint for the day.
2) If I wished him luck, I'd be a hypocrite.
3) In my report tomorrow.
