Lets face it the Doncaster Game the forwards laid a platform that anybody could have had a field-day at Half back , Bridge however took the chance and excelled.

Looking at the Widnes game it was the same and GOB took the game to them.

We need a stable forwards pack who can dominate and leave room for our halves to get into the game.....

I would play Bridge at 6 next week if he can keep this form or fitness

Is this Rubber Duckie character a real person, or just somebody's idea of a joke, knowing full well that 95% of what he posts just has people tearing their hair out in frustration, or just cringing in the sheer idiocy of it all??

I mean, what the fook is this 'smell the custard' thing that he keeps mentioning??.....'Smell the coffee' I've heard of, 'smell the custard'??.....

Have some variety in your life Dita.
I know its smell the coffee but James Stannage got up the noses of 95% of his listeners too and used the phrase smell the custard.
A very popular show he had. Got loads of messages and got me through evenings shifts. Perhaps I should just not raise issues to highlight debate and imagination in your return posts and just follow the party line....well played wire....hard luck wire....good luck wire....yawn..zzzz

Stannage was a muppet. All he did was attention seek and he craved controversy, and make jokes about tragedies. Why do you think he's no longer on proper radio and he's got online radio instead? Because there are no restrictions for him to spout the bile he's been doing for years.

The only decent thing about him is that he hates Pete Price almost as much as I do.

It was only Doncaster

I suggest we discuss this when Bridge has ripped Wigan Saints and Leeds apart and is playing at 6 for England. Until then it's best left alone.

"If it looks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, then it probably is a duck."

I used to enjoy Stannage's football phone in on Piccadilly 1152 in the 1990s.

He used to have this bloke ring up called Paul Nolan who had the thickest Manchester accent ever but hated United with a passion, I think first he supported Arsenal then he converted to supporting Leeds. He could run rings round Stannage.

Problem was when he was talking about issues other than football Stannage was just a rentagob who tried too hard to shock through being offensive and thought he was cool by being controversial. I think the internet killed Stannage because messageboards took away his football audience.

It was a final court case that Piccadilly finally sacked him.
His show was good and still full of people who found a new media...texting in.
I think Stannage kept banning Nolan and still kept letting him back on I recall.
It did get a bit stale at the end though....he became obsessed with the illuminati every night.

Happy nights.

Would appear that Bridgey will be revisiting the scene of one of his finest 80mins in a Wire jersey in the self-same position ............. TS all but confirmed Chris will start again at Bradford at half-back and the jersey is his to lose at the minute.

This particular pocket of the internets gonna be chocka block with "Bridge - I told you so" posts of one type or another.

I hope not the other because I'll not...
I'll let Bridge take bragging rights if he earns them.
Although it was Doncaster, Bridge still put on the most satisfying display we've had at hb this season.

How strange. Was just thinking about James yesterday. We had him on BBC Radio Tees way before he went to Piccadilly, he got sacked from there too.
