McClennan can. He said so pre season. He was going to do it in a couple of trials but has never had the players on the park to try it... nows his chance. Plus im still undecided on who I would prefer at Centre for the WCC. Ash needs game time though so I reckon he will be on the bench at least. |

| Quote: Andy Gilder "If the idea of these opening three games (as well as picking up the league points) is to build fitness and develop combinations ahead of the WCC, I'd suggest this isn't the time to be tinkering and playing people out of position.
Get the strongest available side on the park and give it some time together.'"
At the end of the day I dont really care if we win the WCC or not. Its just a 3rd rate trophy with a nice title to have. I would much prefer different things to be tried now so we can use them if needed when it matters near the end of he season. Plus on last Fridays performance I dont reckon Gibson is too far behing Watkins now. |

Not the time though. He's our specialist, old head, centre. Now is not the time for changes. With our injury list, we need as much continuity as possible. |

[quote:1pqtnbtj]Every player in our squad could probably earn more money with another club. But they prefer to sacrifice a few extra quid in their back pocket to share special memories. And playing at a place like Old Trafford on a night like this makes it all worthwhile.[/quote:1pqtnbtj]

Must admit I thought the injured lads would miraculously find fitness this week as a warm up for the WCC (which I am going to and do care about).

It's a trophy and a hard fought one no matter who or how many people try to play it down just look at last years match to see how fierce the matches can be.
Imo we have earned the right to challenge for this trophy and i for one take it seriously.
Granted i'd rather the super-league title and cc before it but it's a final i definately want to win. |

Yes, im going as I go to all the games I can regardless of thier importance. To me though its below winning the league leaders trophy and a long way below the CC and especially the GF. As I say, it is nice to win because you get a nice little title but I dont jump up and down or get emotional at those games like I would a proper final.
Also its not reallt tampering when we have no other option. Gibson is a stronger candidate to be playing than allan IMO. He is better going forward an a lot better in defence. Gibson played Loose when he was in the academy for a bit too so im sure if needed he could cover there too

To be honest I go to the games and look forward to them without having to check an 'Importance Meter'. It's a big occasion IMO, the chance to be back to back world and domestic champions!!! Come on that hardly occurs often, and what's the likely-hood of it happening again? And I thought you as a NRL bummer would look forward to us going against our foreign counter part champions. And an opportunity for a partizan crowd and possible silverware to be won at Elland Road shouldn't be overlooked. rhinoms as hit the nail on the head with last years WCC reference, you don't see much tougher than that. Go have a word with yourself son.

A positive attitude may not solve your problems, but the number of people it will annoy makes it worthwhile.:20607.jpg |

Jeez, what fantasy do you have about the little feller? Whatever, it's not right you know! |

Brent Kite is an undoubted loss and was the main reason I got a ticket for the game. Im a big lover of forward play and the chance to see who I regard as the best prop in the world was going to be a great oportunity. As it is now i feel a tad dissapointed but hey ho, what can you do.
Menzies is past it hence his move to Bradford. If he was still good enough to play NRL then the would have dropped someone else out of the squad instead of telling him that he wont fit under the cap. Plus Watmough and Stewart are both excellent 2nd Rows who would stroll into our team as 1st choice 2nd rows.
Bell was good but again they are still strong.
Just a look at the team that starts is mouth watering. They also have arguably the best attacking FB in the world. His strike rate in the NRL is something to behold and in Orford they have someone who can organise the attack and break down the defence with no problem at all.

I wonder what the big Jimbo's up to these days? I know he finished playing up at Bath, but I wonder what he's doing outside of rugby in 2009?
