| Quote Red John="Red John"Or his defence. The try we conceded on that side on Saturday wasn't because he missed a tackle but because Kevin Brown came down the blind side and created a two on one on Danny Williams. Danny had to decide who to go for and went for the centre, so Brown lobbed one of his Elways over the top and they were in at the corner.'"
In that instance I felt he got sucked in and fell for Browns pass hook line and sinker. Admittedly I can't recall it perfectly, but I'm certain another defender had the centre covered. I could be wrong though.

| Quote Aboveusonlypie="Aboveusonlypie"I understand your point. And it certainly hurts to be compared to a tabloid scribe. It is also possible that you are adding a layer of complexity where one simply doesn't exist.
Do you think if MK said to HH "Come and join my revolution - but I can only pay you what you are on at Wigan" that he would sign?
By the way, I'm not knocking MK in this. I think he's great for the game and I wish you and him success. =#FF0000The game needs =#FF0000a club outside of Wigan and Leeds to be succesful. I do think that the signings for next season are a step up. FWIW I also think that people are a little too critical of Brian Noble, who deserved to be shown greater respect, given his achievements in the game. I'm not sure what Harris will offer that Brian couldn't.'"
The game did have one last season when Huddersfield after decades of trying won the minor premiership and they too were bankrolled by their owner. Soon forgotten by most.

| Quote Michigan red="Michigan red"I think the leak on that side of the field is Gleeson, Williams has pace too burn it's just infuriating that he doesn't make the most of his skills.'"
He really doesn’t. He seems to have lost a hell of a lot of pace in the past couple of season, to me he seems like he struggles breaking into any sort of sprint as his hamstrings will give way any second.
I liked Willams when he first signed for us and he can still finish, but pace isn't one of his strong points anymore.

| Williams is playing because Johnson is injured.
He's not first choice any more.
As a stand in he's done very well.

I agree, his hamstrings look shot and he seems to regularly have them bandaged up. As a step-in you can't complain, but the sooner Greg Johnson is back the better.

| Quote Aboveusonlypie="Aboveusonlypie"I can only speak for myself RJ. I can perfectly well understand why Sam Tomkins, Joel Tomkins and Lee Mossop left the club.
It was a mixture of more money and the chance to play at a higher level in the NRL and in Joel's case try a new sport in which he was fast tracked into the England team playing in front of 80,000 against the All blacks.
I can't for the life of me understand what HH left for if it wasn't money.
I wonder if he is regretting it?'"
And, of course, the club failing to get you a cake on your birthday is another reason players choose to move on.

Any idea when he's likely to be fit again? He's been badly missed.

There are other players I'd choose to leave out when Greg Johnson returns.

Just when I thought my contempt for all things football had reached its limit, the magnificent efforts of one City player has helped me get my second wind.

Completely with you on that. I've always had a soft spot for City and their (previously) long suffering fans. Interesting on Sky Sports News to see the total condemnation (indeed incredulity) from them.
Wouldn't last 5 minutes in a game of RL (pah)

Any truth in the rumour we've cancelled Francis Meli's birthday party and are hoping for the best?
