Evans is back upto his usual tricks then I see.

Flanagan is the reason opposition find an extra gear against Bradford, absolute bell on the field screaming and shouting and fist pumping infront of players.

Oakes didn't get picked when Evans was fit, at least not in the 3/4's. Don't get me wrong, I like Oakes a good player already with the potential to be better but he isn't at Evans' level for me.

Ryan back on the wing is a no brainer as soon as we have a FB fit.

I know Flanagan is an 'in your face' sort of player who enjoys winding up the opposition but he's hardly responsible for other clubs wanting to 'do us down'. This went on long before George made an appearance and is nothing more than our due as one of 'the big boys' who has fallen on hard times. I know, as we all know and freely admit, that we're not famous anymore but we're likely to remain the choice scalp for all clubs for some time yet - whether George stays at the club or not.

So long as Flanno is scoring tries, I couldn't care less.

I feel a lot more confident of a try if George is on the field

Especially for games like tomorrow's match with Halifax and the fact they've got Mitch Clark on loan. He's a solid player, but he's got a short fuse and Flanagan will play him like a fiddle and will likely win us more than one penalty against him

Every team has at least 1 player who does that.

It's the fake head rubs after an error, trying to force a reaction and increase the error to a penalty that always annoys me. And all teams do that.

The issue with Flanagan for me is that he does whatever comes into his head at that particular moment. That scoot from dummy half for instance. I think he overplays that when getting quick ball to the halves is a better idea.

What might have worked at L1 isn't guaranteed to be as effective in the championship.

I think some of these posters above might be changing their minds about Flanagan after today!!
Bloody idiot, I would give him a few weeks off for that, at least. Get Doyle in and let him have a few games.

I don't think anyone will beat Flanagan up over the yellow card that Flanagan himself. He was clearly furious with himself for getting carded

I think Kear might

We won't get away with many more of those brain farts like that. Well in control with a healthy lead and he gets himself sin binned when they're deep in their own half. Luckily his teammates did just enough to hold on and regained some control after the initial 2 Halifax tries.

I think Wildie will take his place now Keyes is fit and we have two regular 6/7.

What did he do? I didn’t see anything untoward from where I was say

Trip

It was less a trip and more a drop kick. And given his cross body that he hit shortly after coming on means WWE is getting banned in his house
