Obviously.
Richie you really are showing yourself up here to know not a lot about the beautiful game. |

I'm willing to wait til the end of the season before I start criticising. Remember that the league has become alot more competitive all round this season, and in previous title winning seasons ('04 apart) we've come unstuck far worse than yesterday.

That 2004 side and the 2003 Bradford side would win this league at a canter. Could we not make the argument that the league has got worse rather than better? |

I don't think it's a matter of the league getting worse. I believe Celtic aside everyone has improved a lot except the front runners (Saints & Leeds squads now don't touch Bradford, Saints & Leeds squads of the past)
and those 3 are the only teams I'd say have fallen a tad. |

Must just be coincidence then, eh?
Still, looking on the positive side, only one try directly attributal to our out of form Aussie, which must give us all confidence for a sparkling performance against Hudds!
Scotty for MOM on Friday...... you heard it here first!

Who's Scotty playing for on Friday ?? |

| Quote unclerhino="unclerhino"After nearly every match this season Bluey has sid that either the best team lost (when we won) or the best team won (when we lost) and I am afraid that is not his job. His job is to get the players up for each game and its not happening for whatever reason this season. Too many penalties too mich indicipline and a general air of appathathy seems to have come over a team who after all are 2 time Champions.Its easy to say but there needs to be a big change soon or we will follow up 2 winning years with a season much like 2006. Time for some seriouse desisons and some seriouse motivation.
Hope Ian Kirke isnt as bad as it sounds
Come on Leeds we are behind you

I think you could make the arguement that the top 3 or 4 (so called big 4) have gone backwards, but IMO the standard of the competition has gone upwards. Teams like Cas, Hull KR, Huddersfield and Quins are all highly competitive and could beat anyone on their day. The salary cap has bitten for the bigger teams, who have to release some of their younder players as they progress, and therefore comand more money (Scruton etc) and this evens up the competition.
11 Different teams are represented in the England squad, and I think that this can only be a good thing for the competition. |

I'll be interested to see how many teams are represented by the time the 4 nations comes around. Something tells me that it won't be that many. |

Burgess still has time to develope and I believe he will but he's getting a bit too much game time at the moment and has made a few howling errors because he isn't quite ready for week in week out SL yet. Bailey & Kirke should be hitting their prime but aren't. Alays thoguht kirke was good value for money but barring then first 5 or so games this season he has done very little. Baileys there to 'rattle a few cages' Barrie Mac likes to say and it is effective but not always.

So now you realise that Ryan Bailey is tottaly useless ? |

He isn't completely useless. He's fantastic at winding up the opposition and sending them off course tactically. Apart from that I agree. |

I'm happy to have selected Ryan Bailey for 3 Grand Finals and Ian Kirke and Carl Ablett for one each.

However, you know better and they're 'Average at best' eh Bobbie?
You should be a coach - you evidently know better than those three muppets. I mean what have they ever achieved? |
