Another awesome effort from the man. If you read these boards and nothing else you would think he was just a thug with nothing to offer to the team.

I think there have been may people who have used the phrase "blood to water" in relation to Jamie Peacock.

As for Bailey, I stand by my point, he makes the team every week. So either the coach doesn't know what he's on about, or some posters on here don't.

You could draw a line under this thread now.

Sadly, i suspect fekkwitted opposition fans (and a few of our own) won't.

No. Let them form a queue to demonstrate their no-nowt-ness.

As you predicted, here's the first fekkwitt to arrive, just above me.

As proven by the stats above. Ryan Bailey is average at best. Even Bryn Hargreaves can compare to him.

G1. I think we are supposed to work this out ourselves. I think the author is making some kind of subliminal point that can only be worked out via the application of varying degrees of statistical nous.

Or there is a demonstration of fundamental tism. One of the two.

He's convinced me. The St Helen's players are clearly all superior to ours. Just like the Wigan fans were telling us about the superiority of their players before last friday.

It amazes me the shower of e running around in Blue and Amber keep winning these championships.

Either that or, as you say, Ashmeister has demonstrated fundamental fekkwittism, yet again.

To be fair i was comparing him to Saints players because they're players i watch. Bryn Hargreaves is a plodder, i'm not making him out to be any good. The fact is thou that this plodder is running along line with the same stats as Ryan Bailey.
