Time for bed I think!!

One of Chris's problems is his running style, at some point in his development someone needed to correct the biomechanics of his foot strike.



As he is now he runs too much on the flat and the heel of his foot, he also overstrides in an attempt to run faster but this just exacerbates the problem.



He needs to take shorter strides and increase his leg speed that would make him run on his toes more and Newtons 3rd law takes care of much of the rest.



If he did this his body would be leaning forward as he enters contact meaning he would make more positive impact in collisions and the impression that he doesn't run his weight would disappear.



This is a common problem with big kids/blokes and it only takes someone with the time, care and understanding to alter the style through constant performance of particular drills.



It's also the way forward if we want to get away from the propensity to stick big lads in the pack instead of making them centres and wingers instead.

What's Wayne McDonald up to these days?

Cleaning Chris Feather's boots.

They've both gone to see the Wizard of Oz for a heart and hands that can catch.

We are trying to attract new speccies not drive them away

Andy Raleigh hasn't played for giants yet this season, maybe we could loan you him. He try's 100% every game and is a big, powerful player.

If we can't extend Amor's loan then he may be an option but i seem to remember us wanting him as part of the Brough deal but he didn't want to come so i cant see what has changed so that he will want to come now.

The choice of playing rugby or sitting in the stand and commentating for Radio Leeds. If it is the latter then we don't want him.

See your PM wth regards David Mills contact details..

Kyle A's loan extended and in the squad for Sunday

Nice one!

Feather played for Wyong last season in the local Newcastle competition which is fairly strong, he impressed enough to be offered a contract from Parramatta but he knocked it back because of his personal training business.

He would be worth giving an opportunity imo.

That's a bit of a contradiction but then so is Feather. He isn't past his best, as a prop his best should just be happening now. Oddly he was at his best as a 19 year old, people have short memories. When Feather burst on the scene under Harbins guidance he was a revelation - outstanding on the Academy tour of Australia which is why Leeds payed big money for him. Whatever went wrong with Feather it happened at Leeds and he didn't get it back on loan with us or at Bradford.



I generally agree that he probably isn't worth it now, he's had his chance - but if he really wants another go you can't deny the potential is their even now.



Somebody mentioned Snitch is out of favour at Cas, now there is a lad IMO who deserves game time.
