Richie Myler is making it harder and harder for me to hate him.....that kick to corner for Joel on Saturday alone. Sublime.

Yep, guilty on that charge myself...

Oh and that Kev Penny was the future..

Matt King, all that money for nothing very flash, was getting a little frustrated with him, ate my words not much longer.

The biggest one for me though is Mickey Higham, what the hell happened to him this season, playing like a completely different player, i was one that was hoping to see the back of both him and Clarke tbh.

Higham - thought we should have said ta-ra last year.
Penny - thought he'd come good, if not at Wire then elsewhere
Hodgson - was also sceptical, proven wrong
Michael Monaghan - My initial excitement slowly subsided in his first year as flashes of brilliance were few among some fairly mediocre showings at halfback. I'd more or less given up on him by the time I saw him moaning on Facebook about having to go back to the UK winter for pre-season at the end of the season. He hasn't looked back since Smith arrived.

And going back a few years
Steve Anderson - bought the hype
Stuart Reardon - bought the hype

every saturday with my football bet

I was neglecting saying it for a while but as others have said, Higham. I was 100% right at the time (he was dross) but he appears to have found a new lease of life this season and I was wrong to suggest we desperately needed a replacement hooker this year.

There was probably a time when I thought we would never win against Saints and I remember saying to a mate that we wouldn't win the Challenge Cup in 2009 but that was just down trodden pessimism.

After the 2009 semi there was absolutely no doubt in my mind that we would be losing to Saints in the final. I was just made up to be at Wembley and looking forward to the day out.

I was out the following day when the second semi was played and was genuinely stunned when I looked at my phone and discovered Huddersfield had won. I then got a bizarre sense of the shivers - stage fright maybe - at the thought that I might actually now be less than three weeks away from actually seeing Wire win something.

I was at Wembley in 1974 and for the next 35 years became convinced we would never reach such heights again.

Then along comes our saviour Tony Smith and I started to believe again.

what he said

I thought Neil Parsley would be a true gladiator for the wire... I was wrong.

When he was in and out of the team and was getting injuries all the time, I was beginning to lose my patience with David Kidwell (may I say, it was a long time after a lot of my mates had lost their patience with him!!!).

He then became an ABSOLUTE MONSTER and was completely gutted when he left.
