I still think you're pushing their boundaries - cut it down to just the one verse.

I'm glad you sound so over joyed with this.



Any road, I said the same. Bailey was a shoe in IF fit.

He wasn't. He was in agony on the pitch. Thought he put himself about, attracted defenders and got the ball out, marshalled the middle of the pitch in defence.

Bluey took a risk with him and it back fired. I never understand why Leeds coaches persist in fielding crock players in huge games!!

That left Kylie our only out and out prop.

kylie had too much game time, had a great 1st stint (like Kirke) but I knew those 2 couldn't replicate that for the 2nd half.

Having said that, dozy Leeds' second half start determined the result.

Maybe Bluey thought they couldn't win the game without TMFMISL?

A long pre-season needed for most players now!!

I was speaking with Gary Hetherington a couple of weeks back at a charity function, and I mentioned the 2005 CC final. He was adamant that if the same thing happend again he would still have pushed the coach to pick Keith Senior again (that's not to say Smith wasn't going to pick him anyway). His argument was that Keith Senior at 50% was still better than the Hull centres at 120%. I told him that was just crazy, and that decision had not only cost us the CC Final that year but probably the Grand Final aswell, as everyone knew if Senior had painkilling injections for the CC final he would probably be out for rest of season. He just said it was a risk worth taking.

I can see the argument.

But that argument always contains the word 'risk' !!!

In this case of Bailey playing, we were already missing Biff and JP so to lose Bailes, would mean losing 75% of our ideal first choice props. Maybe it was a loss that Bluey or the team couldn't cope with?

If we had Biff and JP avaiable Bailes wouldn't have played, as he could have been off-set. But the only logical replacement was Abler. Now he hasn't played Super League now for quite some time and doesn't have the experience of the big games. That must have played on Bluey's mind.

For me though, with the cards that were dealt I would have played Ambler. For the percentages lied with Ambler. And in the games he has played hasn't let anyone down and must have been chomping at the bit to play.

It's all moot now anyway.

Any road Gotcha with the amount of functions and bbq's you attend I presume you smoke creme de la creme cigarettes?

It was a big error from Bluey to play Bailey, and JJB as they both were nowhere near fit enough to play in a huge game like that. I get the impression that McClennan is very reluctant to play some of the younger members of the squad, hence the persistant inclusion of Kirke, and a half fit JJB and Bailey against Wigan. Ambler and Pitts must be wondering what they have to do.

Nope. I am just a giving person. It's good for the heart.

That's good to hear.

I suppose you have to be aware of fatty deposits at your age.

I certainly do. I just don't pay attention to it. Hence why my guts getting to G1 standards.
