Anyone else think Watkins is looking very raw of late?

Would loved to of seen Gleeson bought in, was never going to happen soon as Wigan came wading in.

As people have said who is available? Know there is rumblings that were after David Simmons from Cronulla.

it baffled me last night why watkins started on the wing - was Gibson injured?

why not play one of the reserve wingers?

joke!

oh and we got beaten by a team playing 50 year old Aussie Forward at Stand Off

You might be right ... Perhaps Monday's game might be the time to introduce Jodie Broughton to the first team ?

Broughton is Kallum Watkins natural wing partner when the reserves used to win things. They have an understanding together, which showed when the Academy beat a full-strength York side last year.

As for the Broughton has not experience complaint, wasn't it him that Hull went for last season to play first grade during their injury crisis ? Young, with pace to burn might just be the sort of player we need if we choose to stop battering sides up the middle and throw the ball about, playing a more expansive game.

In that way, you can rest Hall (who has heavy strapping on that thigh for the last two games) and maybe even drop Ablett or Senior ?

Anyone know if Broughton is fit / available ?

Menzies is still class act, you could tell that from watching NRL last season. And the way he has played for Bulls this season shows he still has it. More than can be said about our World Class Hooker, hope I get proved wrong though.

still showes how far behind Aussies we are when our current GB stand off gets outplayed by a forward!

Should of said that last night, we would of been sure to see you getting thrown over the balcony

Get a sense of perspective. You had a bruising game against SL's most successful team and current holders of the challenge cup, St Helens, lead by current man of steel, James Graham. A few days later you have to go to the ar$e end of the world and play a bradford side, playing for their careers in their cup final and only just lose. Added to the fact its only april.

There are only 2 guarantees in RL. One is that wigan will never get out of their current 10 year "transitional period", the other is that Leeds will contest the grand final.

Being a Cas player means he's spent the last twenty-odd years of his life being indoctrinated that the big city team from the other side of the Calder make Al-Qaeda look like a Sunday School outing.

IIRC the Scousers couldn't win for toffee this time last season ...

exactly, Trophies aint getting handed out in April!
