he missed a trick bringing DB off.

I'm all for rotating the hooker but when he's the best player on the field i feel you need to keep him on.

His Record agasint Smith in the games that count is ok so i'm not too bothered about Fridays result but Watkins and Gibson should be surly wondering why they were not playing.

also while some of the responsiblity does lie on the coach he can't be blammed for the needless penalties given away.

as for Worral - i dont think he's good enough to be honeset!

On this point I disagree.

He has to discipline the team to stick to the game plan.

And these daft penalties are hardly a rare thing, it is our biggest flaw as a team.

Now its the coaches job to quantify this and neutralise the problem.

He hasn't and it looks like a problem that isn't going to go away quickly.

He needs to solve this ASAP. I know he doesn't literally have control of JJb when he gives a daft penalty away, but he has to hit the message home!

it's crippling us and we are our own biggest enemy.

I agree to a point but...

Bluey isnt stupid surley he knows it's a problem so you'de hope he's addressed it, if he has and the players are still giving stupid pens away they should either be dropped or finned in my opinion

that or he isnt addressing it and if thats the case he shouldnt be coaching at the top level.

There appears to be an almighty assumption here that McClennan doesn't punish offenders already.

The option of dropping an errant player isn't really there given the weaknesses in the present squad he has to work with.

He's dropped Watkins and Gibson for what seems to be nothing so....

no issue with not using the full 17, all the players should be fit enough to 1-2 men down (team in the NRL, dragons? was regularly winning only using 15 players in the first half of the season). if the coach doesn't think its a good move to bring on worrall then fair does, but with this line of thinking. it does make me wonder why on earth he's replacing buderus with diskin at times. seems very much like trying to give them both the same game time, rather then based on how they are playing

What about Bailey??

Is there a story here???

Dropped or just not selected?

Neither are part of the first choice seventeen this season so are liable to play only as cover for injury absences.

What about when a team is well under the cosh and looking 'leggy'?????

Ankle injury apparently.

If it's a story you're after why is Brent Webb's current injury unspecified and clouded by patient confidentiality?

I don't think I've heard that one before very often.

Webb - Part of the CIA ???

Bailey - Apparently walking fine, according to Mrs Bloodbath.

Following Wakefield's loss to Cas John Kear was understandably concerned over the number of penalies they gave away - in kickable positions. He said this is something they can sort out quickly and it will be addressed this week. If that's the case why haven't we done something,anything, as we've been giving away needless penatlies all week? I shall watch with interest to see if he can turn it around.

I walked fine with a torn knee cartilage. Didn't mean I could play professional RL though

Bailey got injured on an army away day - team bonding session

Oh that one!!

Similar to the old knee that goes, when Leeds hit pre-season and a ride in a plane is involved.
