Yeah he is rubbish that Hendo, as are all your "imports". I'd get rid of them if I were you.

Not sure Webb is much of a loss, it would more likely have doubled the amount of penalties we were awarded! But yes the lack of depth in our squad due to last years problems will make things tough when we lose a few to injury.

Some great team spirit is covering the weaknesses well though and I've not left a game yet wondering if they really gave their all.

The full back who played instead (2icon_cool.gif was class, very fast! Better than Webb nowadays

Whatever happened to that Damien Cardace at Catalan?? He was a quick player.
Morgan Escare (2icon_cool.gif did well at FB against us but it's the Beaver who caused us a lot of problems

Cats are a tough prospect at home but if we'd kept our composure and made a few less mistakes we could have won. Think we missed our senior absentees like Langley, Gale, Lulia and Walker. I'm not convinced with our fringe defence with Whitehead in the centres but we've no other options with the injuries we have.

Langley and Walker tackling stints much missed today.
Credit to Whitehead who is filling in at which is no way his best position

We looked good in patches and did some quality stuff at times, but we made some dumb errors too, and then 'went to sleep' somewhat in the second half. Given the injuries, and lack of squad depth, I'm far from despondent though, Les Cats are a good side, and fully deserved the points, and they won't lose many at the Gilbert Brutus. Brilliant week-end as always though with the superb French fans - just hoping we get a few bodies back for the Leeds game.

Did you get a house on the Social & claim job seekers while you were there?

I reckon if we had our three main players back we would have won. (Menzies, Elima and Pryce). Nice to see them all firing, but always a bittersweet taste.

He would have done a lot more damage against Kear and Whitehead than Pala did.

Ha ha, no. I did think about it but I didn't bother as, so I'm reliably informed by my Daily Mail reading mate, [ithat[/i kind of thing only happens in this country. Mind you, the Mail apparently thinks Cameron is some kind of left wing placement who is intent on taking the country to the dogs, so maybe that info isn't totally accurate....at least with the left wing bit.

You need new mates.

I quite like it that I have mates drawn from all quarters. Don't pass it around too much but I even know Rhino supporters who I count as mates....a couple of them even go in the South Stand

I do try to evangelise and return those lost sheep which have gone down the wrong path to sense and reason, but it's difficult and though, whilst the Rhinos do at least visit Odsal at least once a year, I confess I can't get the Mail reader to even return to planet earth...
