The reason I was dissapointed Boxing Day was that every player that played is part of our first team squad, that means they are likely to get called upon at some point this season, and very few came away having impressed when given the opportunity.
Obviously felt a lot better after the KR game, but given the increased injuries every team seems to suffer, I'd have liked to see more from the squad players both, in terms of quality and ability to play to structure.

Call a turd a turd by all means, but let's at least wait until there's some meaningful games or something to actually bloody moan about. Complaining about a team, missing 13 players, losing a completely meaningless pre-pre-season friendly game on Boxing Day isn't something to moan about. And no I didn't go, I didn't fancy paying £20 to watch a training session, i've got much better things to do and to spend my money on at Xmas.
Everything's far from warm & fuzzy at Headingley, or it wasn't last season anyway. I'm not sure where you get the idea that that's what I think, I can only imagine you read too much into what some other posters say on here which is exactly what I said earlier.... Cheers for proving my point.
And sorry you're upset about being called a whinger but you know, if the cap fits and all that...

So close! Keep trying though Gotcha, you'll manage that comprehensible sentence one day.

I'll take a stab and guess you're suggesting me as I'm the other main positive poster on this forum. I don't really get involved in Lioner81's debates unless I have a view I want to make. I'm not part of any clique nor do know anyone who posts on here personally unlike others (I could've stood right next to you at a game for all I know)
Since the new moderators have taken over on here I've tried to not get involved in long winded running battles and barring one slip I think I've been much more reserved than previous even though some other posters aim digs intended for me, So in keeping with peoples wishes to avoid those long running thread ruining battles then if I'm not really involved in the particular argument it's much better for all to not try drag me into it with insults or mocking when I'm not really involved in the first place,

Not sure it was aimed at him, and not that he will be bothered or even care  , but I'll vouch for him on that. |

Back on subject gents please.
And if folk can leave out the petty, snide baiting, that'd be great.

With pleasure.
So, after our improved showing against HKR and baring in mind Wigan's 50-10 thrashing by the new boys, does anyone think they might have (just slightly) over reacted to our defeat in the meaningless pre-pre season friendly on Boxing Day where we had 13 players missing? |

Not at all the game v Wakey has been discussed & opinion given purely on the build up & that game/afyermath nothing since changes what happened wrt that game.
Wtt the HKR performance again opinion has been given what happens v Fev wont change that do you see the pattern?
Wigan v Leigh -Already covered. |

I do see an all too familiar pattern, yes. |

Your job is to say to yourself on a job interview does the hiring manager likes me or not. If you aren't a particular manager's cup of tea, you haven't failed -- you've dodged a bullet.:icons077e_files/5454-3678dentheman-msnicons.jpg |

I think most people knew that it would cost £20 to get away from the missus and kids on Boxing day - small price to pay IMO if that's your bag. I haven't attended these games for many years - I am not that desperate to get away from the missus or see a game of rugby.
However the general view is the performance was below what was expected given the comments of the coach prior to the game.
Does the performance have any relevance to the 2017 season - who knows only time will answer that question

Let me help you with that one Sal. The answer is the same as it's always been.... no. |

That's your opinion and you are entitled to it but you have no more knowledge on the matter than those who suggest it sets a poor tone for the year.
As I said nobody really knows and all will be revealed in time - just like your prediction for the 2017 season  |

No, sorry. I just don't agree.
A meaningless pre-pre-season friendly with most of the first team missing, played only for the fans and to make some easy cash for the club, has absolutely no bearing on the forthcoming season. None whatsoever. If we go on to lose every game this season it won't be because some kids got beat in December.
It's the same with Wigan and last week's 50-10 drubbing by Leigh.
And you already know my prediction: Top 4. I made that on here before any 2017 prediction threads were created.
