Mugwump mocking mental illness for a second time -
"You are mentally ill and I can't indulge your madness any more"

Tommy more than anyone deserves a rest but your right in the fact that his position needs less work rate than most others but I would still protect him from picking up a knock.'"
I see no reason why any backs needed resting apart from lomax is is all over the field.
Obviously it's more of not getting players injured for next Saturday rather than players needing a rest. |

| Quote: bewareshadows "Resting so many players on Monday, is not the same to resting players for a normal weekly fixture.
Effectively the players will have an 8 day turn around, playing Friday then Saturday at Leeds.
This is not like having a week off and coming back a little rusty. It's just like having a normal fixture list playing once every week.
What I am not sure about is why Makinson is lined up to play. It maybe we have no one else, but then that shows a lack of foresight from the club to let Gardner go so early in the season. One injury and suddenly we are looking at having to play Makinson in a game where he should have his feet up.
We beat Leeds who were just as in form a few weeks ago with a side that no one gave a chance to, not even us. So Leeds are not a team of undeafetables. I do wonder whether Amor and Swift could have played against Wigan but may have been carrying knocks that could have been aggrivated over time.
Would not be surprised in the slightest to see them both play against Leeds and then get dropped again as I've seen nothing anywhere about their injuries???
I think there has been a little OTT reaction on the boards. We are still top of the league and at worst 1 point off the top come the end of tomorrow. A loss was always going to come, as it happens it was a few weeks later than predicted. I know some love to revel in our losses as the bringer of doom, but even in the great years we lost and sometimes lost really badly.
If we where firing on all cylingers the cynics would say we are up too early and the rest of the league are waiting for the important end of the season. Now we have lost some have seen it as an oppertunity to jump in and say we are not a great team.
Quite frankly we are doing a hell of a lot better than we where last year at this time and we are doing better than pretty much most of the teams around us.
Some people love pushing the panic button after one loss. It was a loss get over it, there will be at least 2 or 3 more of those before the end of the season.
Last year Wigan lost 30 points to 12 against a decent Huddersfield side, but that showed as much in the tea leaves as this defeat will do.'"
Best post I've read on here or redvee post the Wigan game, bravo sir.
Saturday is the big test for us now, lets see what character this side has. |

The reaction isn't about the loss though is it? It's about the manner of the performance, particularly in the second half. 'Gutless' is a word I have read to describe it and I'd say that pretty much summed up the team's so-called efforts in the second half, a total contrast to matches against Cas and Leeds.
This was Wigan, at home, on a glorious day in front of a packed stadium and we were well in the game at halftime. But we just gave up. That's what the reaction is about, not that we lost. |

If we take 2 points today then I'll be happy with Easter. Sure enough the team let us, the club and themselves down big time on Good Friday but at the end of the day we can't win every week. It hurts it being against the pies but it's two points lost no matter who it was against.
I can't see us winning today, in fact I think we in for a hammering but a win against Leeds is more important than any Easter games.
If we lose them all, it's a disaster. |

At this stage in the season there are only so many high intensity games you can play in a row (particularly when the opposition can target it given an easier run) - minus a few players having stinkers (lms, turner etc) we actually weren't far off (despite the smug superiority from t'other side) there were numerous occasions we had created an overlap/ found a gap etc but individual, unforced errors cost us dear. It was always going to happen eventually.
Also think said smugness has added to the frustration in the reaction from people on here ... |

Not as bad as I feared and should probably still manage to beat a tired Widnes side. I do hate seeing Wellens in the halves though. Would rather we bring back Superstar Stuart Howarth and give him a go there.

We can be bold enough to make a stand and do battle for our views and beliefs. But we must strive to be mature enough not to resort to unnecessary personal attacks upon people with opposing views.:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_47035.gif |

Ah time for the pleasant tones of Ray French.
Good luck to the boys and all who go to the match today.
Could not justify 3 tanks of petrol to St. Helens over the weekend.
