Given our injury crisis, surely this bloke is an option until the end of the season. Wasnt he playing in the UK Super League at the start of the year

We don't win, haven't you seen the table 0 and 6.

Nobody who has Brian Kelly on their roster wins...the guy is the ploddiest plodder who ever did plod.

Holmes will be 31 in July. I thought he was older.

....

So, what you're saying is, he will be our prime recruitment target in 2035?

Noice!

And when he is finished at Parra we will bring him back for his experience and work ethic to guide the young guys (and to top up his super).

Anyone who watched the Knights over the last 2 seasons would have noted their lack of physical presence, constant injuries and fading late in games. Then for some reason the Eels appointed their strength and conditioning coach to oversee their own program, after a season where the club came home with a wet sail on the back of fitness, presence and push through in the second halves.

Just have to wonder what sort of due diligence is done by the football office, not the least of the worries is he is also an ex Tiger.

Oh well, they know better than us poor fans.

Its a disgrace

Has it been confirmed why Blair Mills wanted to leave.

Was it the fact he just wanted to go back to NZ.

How the hell has a Super Rugby side paid for more money for a S&C then a club like ours or was the Moses f**k up at the start of last year gave Mills a bad rap and we moved him on.

And the fact is those roles require a good 12-18 month period for both players and S&C staff to get know each other & the S&C to know the players bodies and what there peak actually is.

Chopping & Changing those every 12 months isn't great business its three in three years atm and could be four in four next year.

Sarantinos & the Board keep spitting out nonsense there is every resource available & being used to make this club successful.

Well we certainly dont strive for the best available in there chosen fields.

Its also very telling the club never announced to members they replaced Mills with Mathew Jay into that role from Newcastle. It was just through a media snippet from the Mole i think. So much for awesome communication from our club. Were they too embarrassed to announce they signed the S&C from the wooden spooners.

Matty Jay is a Ryles appointment. Sure the admin guys sign it off but Ryles wanted this guy.

Only due diligence required is how cheap he is...

Boys. Just thinking out loud here but we’ve all noticed the pressure from media dialled up to 11 this week and the honeymoon is over.

Riddle me this. If Dogs play like they did against Panthers and put a record score on us, 50, 60… What happens next week?

I genuinely think the club is about to go nuclear. It’s now got too much focus from the journos and it’s about to get ugly should that happen.

Like real ugly. Expect a load of stories to surface.

Even more out of it.

I agree Junior has been shithouse this season BUT just to keep it in perspective he is battling a PCL injury. Same injury that Keaon has been struggling with this season keeping his output down.

I'm sure he would of definitely had a spell by now if we had the troops to cover him.

6 months ago he was looking outstanding for Samoa.

The club knows this which is why they published all our injuries this week. This will be their major fall back position. However similar happened to the Roosters two seasons ago and they fought for the jersey and still made the finals. That’s what happens when you have real effort and depth that isn’t of RM Cup level.
