I think we'll all agree that Marc Herbert wasn't of the suitable YouTube quality that he was signed on.

Signing players from YouTube clips isn't going to help shift the 5000 season membership sales though.

Sammut and Godinet are most certainly both available for the right contract.

Players make decisions in games. Sometimes you win these games and sometimes you lose. With the best will in the world I can't believe that the result of a game, no matter how close it ends, played over 80 minutes turned on one [or even two] missed goal kicks. Every single incident changes the rest of the game completely and no-one knows what might have happened if Danny Addy had kicked the first goal. We may well have dropped the kick off and conceded under the sticks; who knows? Nor can you disregard all the other things which happened during the game.

There are many occasions when players make decisions in a game; in fact there are decisions made by every player, every second of every game; do I run it, pass it ,kick it, do I tackle the guy or drop back and let the cover come across. Sometimes you come up with the right answer and sometimes you don't, but I don't believe that any single decision decides a game, even if it comes very late on and people all around you are screaming that it did.

Leigh were 26-4 up against HKR at half time in the first 8s game, then 2nd half they made some unbelievable decisions time after time and the rest as they say is history. Would Leighs 8s campaign have been different had they beaten HKR? Who knows, especially as Wakey only pipped us by a point also. They just did not seem like the same team from game 2 onwards.

To be right, Leigh just played like they'd played all season; they pushed the passes and tried to run up a big score. This is exactly what I meant when I said they had a good side but were let down by their tactics - what they did is fine in the championship because you can afford to make errors and most often you'll get away with it, but SL sides will burn you and they'll usually play for the full 80.

I'm assuming Leigh won't make the same mistakes again and will have learnt that there are times when you take a more conservative approach - in the same way, I'm assuming Jimmy Lowes will have learned a little about rotations and not burning players out...

Well Bradford are making a decision on Jacks and Caprice this week. Personally, I'd give both a 12 month deal with the club having the option to extend. Caprice is switching codes and you can't expect a player doing that to be an instant superstar. Jacks needs time to bed in and form a partnership with Gaskell. Added to that, neither are likely to command large wages, we can still keep space open should other players come on the market down the road

I've not been to any friendlies so i'd be interest to hear how Jacks has gone on? Will he be good enough to displace Addy from the Scrum half spot?

I wanted us to sign a scrum half of enough quality to make that position his own beyond question, but obviously that would mean that he would need to be better than Addy. If he isn't then he'd just be a back up option so I wouldn't be too bothered if we didn't sign him.
