| There's an element of that, and also the Maguire issue. He built a side - exceptionally well - based on the players he had at the time. He has seemed to really struggle since the GF win because he hasn't adapted the style of play much even without the same core of exceptional players. Like most GF winning teams they have paid too much to a bunch of players who were average and dragged up by the stars (not to mention huge dollars to get Burgess back), so are also going to find it will take a long time to up the quality across the field.
Overall you'd have to say Maguire and Hasler look like coaches who haven'tworked out a Plan B for when things aren't going well. Hasler's in even worse trouble because he hasn't sorted the deficiencies at halfback which have been there right through his tenure at the Dogs.

| Daniel Sarginson has been a very unlucky boy. He deserves better than a broken arm.
Without Englishman Joseph Greenwood, I doubt that the Titans could have beaten the competition leaders.
Now all we need is a couple more English backs in the NRL and the convict people will start to take English rugby league seriously.

| Because of course, being taken seriously by the Aussies is so much more important than the strength of our own comp...

| Joseph Wardle scored a great try for Newcastle. Commentator Andrew Voss spoke of a [icheer from Huddersfield[/i, and then of how Wardle was a swap for Jake Mamo organised by Nathan Brown. This was great publicity for English players, the English game, and Super League. The convicts are being forced to treat English rugby league with more respect.

| A stellar performance from Gareth Widdop in the Dragons win over Manly.
A dink to the corner for a try.
A cross-field kick for a try.
A feign to kick then short pass for a try.
An interception try.
A 40/20.
8/9 converted with the boot in his 20 point haul.

| Gareth Widdop last weekend ensured that he will be in the England starting lineup for the World Cup -- if he can stay uninjured until then.
