Cracking performance today I thought - shame about the sending off think we'd have had half a chance otherwise. Gannon looks a serious player (he's a big 17 year old!). Beyond that, Paasi leads with his forearm/elbow every time - as someone else says if you tackled like that you'd be off so not sure why it's allowed. And finally the BBC coverage was tough to listen to with the drooling over saints even praising their defence when they'd just shipped a load of points to 12 men which was quite bizarre but there we go back to sky now anyway I suppose.

Whoever plays in 2nd row will benifit from having first choice half backs inside them and first choice centres outside them. Agree that Mellor and Martin haven't look great so far, but not for the lack of effort. Think Walters will slowly improve to the point where he ousts one of them from the starting 13. How soon is up to him.

Big hopes for Gannon, his Father was huge, big dirty forward, Gannon and his brother will both make it. I understand his brother plays for Warrington ( no doubt someone will tell me I’m wrong). I think they live in Halifax.
Eastmond is fit for this week. Don’t know who will partner him in the backs, Smith more likely to play alongside him, Martin I back into the second row.
We have too many injuries at the moments while the pack have been really good and held their own we need some experience in the backs. For some reason we have had too many freak injuries these last few weeks, but the future is looking good with the kids. If there good enough let them play,
Have got my seats for the rest of the season in the Directors suite, starting with the Sunday game in May. Happy I am.

totally agree, fully expected Chapman to end up on the studio floor picking the balls up., whilst smartar$e Wilkin looked on . Lets all have them in flat caps with a whippet each for the next round. The BBC would love that.

I'll believe that when I see it.....!

He's openly said at least once to my knowledge that this is a big year and wants to extend his contract with us.
