Not really but we were rumoured to be looking him as a loan at beginning of season. Must have something about him if an oz club is prepared to take a punt on him though.

Our forwards never really got any roll on in the game and it was certainly no day for blaming the halves. There was plenty of effort but far too much of it was misdirected and there were far too many errors. London were clearly fired up after their rollocking from the coach after last week's effort - probably a bit too fired up as they'll no doubt discover when the disciplinary take a look at Kaufusi's 'tackle' which took Donno out. Personally, I thought Child was weak in leaving Kaufusi on the field after a malicious foul which left us with a player short for 70 odd minutes. I hope the lad hasn't got a broken jaw.

With Donno being taken out and BK limping off it effectively left us with two interchange players unavailable which certainly didn't help. I don't think the talk of "mid season crises" is particularly accurate to be honest - there are few teams in SL who wouldn't suffer some sort of 'drop in form' with Wigan, Wire and Leeds in successive weeks. London are probably at a similar level to us, in truth, so losing there is no disgrace - even if there is much to rue about some aspects of the performance.

Blaming the forwards is an excuse. We haven't spent the last 4 games in our own 10m for 80mins. We have had plenty of good field position and plenty of sets attacking the opposition line yet produced very little. Down to the half backs.

Yes but if the forwards aren't punching through the line and giving the halfbacks time and space to create in that task is a lot more difficult. We need to see improvement from quite a few key players, it isn't all down to Luke Gale looking short of form.

Agree we had plenty of field position vs wire and leeds but couldn't create anythin apart from flat pass offloads.
I don't know what The answer is but gale seems to be not giving enough and the players are lacking confidence, if we don't beat salford we then play hudds which going off todays performance will be a huge ask and we then have a tough run of away games I feel we have come to the pivotal point of the season, get a couple of winns confidence will increase AMD we can move up the table, saints will improve and so will Kr, Widnes and wakey so the fight is definately on for the top 8.

Is this the shoulder charge that has been banned this season? Love the firm way it is being policed.

How old is the next Burgess brother?

Karl Pryce is big enough to play prop and dual reg with Dewsbury

Seems straight forward to me

The tackle was fine, he just hit him hard. Maybe Kaufusi wouldn't off been looking for retaliation if Scruton didn't shoulder charge Gower late after he had kicked the ball.

FWI, near the end of the game most of your players looked more interested in trying to start up little fights with our players, it was quite pathetic to watch, especially as half of your team looked like they wanted the win and the other half were only interested in trying to start a brawl.

We are bereft of fire power in the forwards and a leader in the halves.
'nuff said

I'm happy for you and your team mate and I wish you well in the next round and hope you get to Wembley. Kaufusi's 'tackle' though was awful, and you don't normally get knocked unconscious from being hit in the the legal tackle areas nor do you suffer jaw injuries.

Apparently after the game, the match commissioner discussed that tackle and made it sound like there was nothing in it, so it will be interesting to see whether or not he is charged by the disciplinary panel.

Donno was taking painkillers for his jaw a while after the match[according to his mother who was on our coach] so it was clearly a solid clout which put him out cold for at least ten seconds. Not sure which bit of Kaufusi's body connected with his jaw[maybe forearm maybe shoulder?] but to be honest I'd be more concerned that James was OK.

Obviously not that fine as he's been charged with a grade C.
