I played on the same town team as Scott and against him when he played at Leigh Miners and again for Blackbrook. He always played at 6 at amateur level, then switched to 9 when he broke into Saints first team and at Huddersfield, can't understand why he now seems to be played at 2nd row?

Thats what you get with Scott and the main reason he's not kicked on to be a top player.

Finally someone with eyes who at least saw the same game I did. And yes we should have had Pryce on the bench as I've been saying all bl00dy week

Not picking Leon on the bench was a mistake and I knew it would be. He could have slotted in any of the back positions and IMO would have caused Leeds problems.

Give over. What problems did Pryce cause Leeds in the last three finals?

Very disappointing from Moore, not so much the tackle on Burrow because we can't be perfect but that high shot was deplorable. We had them on the rack and BOOM they're up the field on the back on that pen and then in. Did his indiscretions cost us the game? Like Roy I can't blame him but they were the deciding factors in the game because it took control of the game out of our hands. Leeds were able to exploit our right centre but didn't look like they could get up the field to do that until we helped them. Disappointing.

What problems has any of the players who's played in the three finals cause?

It's a different thing coming off the bench and IMO with the way the game panned out Leon would have been ideal.

I didn't see fatty wheeler cause much trouble either, he's so overweight and unfit im not shocked pryce took it as a insult to be dropped for a unfit chubby wheeler.

Well if rumours are true he will be Salford's penalty machine next year and not our problem. Shame really because he has the potential to be a top player

I like Scott and he's good lad as well but his concentration levels are poor.

Sadly in big games concentration is key and his brainfarts are too costly ..

You've answered your own question.



We've absolutely no idea what state Leon was in. He's hardly set the world on fire this season and playing to the best of his (seemingly diminishing) abilities I doubt he would trouble Leeds' defence.



Who's better placed to judge the utility of a player - you or the coach of the team? I rest my case.

Well I'm impressed with Royce but everyone makes mistakes including coaches. This in my view was one of em.

So the coach is always right?

I don't care if Royce knows wheeler better than but believe me I doubt it and I can tell you now I've never seen wheeler looking so "bulky" than he did tonight.

After the injury run old polystyrene Wheeler has had, I can't say I think it's a bad tactic to try and put a bit more meat on to to cushion the blows to his balsa-wood bones.

But on the belly?
