A lot of ifs buts and maybes but a win against Huddersfield next week, barring a whole series of REALLY strange scorelines we will have at least 4th place sorted. (guaranteed if Wakefield beat Huddersfield tonight and we at least draw next week). Not bad for a team which many were considering that avoiding the bottom 4 again was their best aim.
Huddersfield are unlikely to play like Hull did, but if we perform the same, we should be there.

I think that’s what happened to Graham Appo in the 2003 off-season. He came back and was just a wobbly splodge... I feel guilty about having a go at him now... |

Appo? I don't recall any injury.
He came back after the off-season looking like a squirrel who'd hit the euromillions jackpot, bought every tree in Delamere Forest, filled them wih KP's finest and settled down for a busy winter stuffing his face.

| Quote Deus Dat Incrementum="Deus Dat Incrementum"It is hard to judge how much of last nights performance was down to
A) Kick up the arris and raising our gane
B) things sticking that didnt stick on Saturday
C) Hull just feeling sorry for themselves and wanting the season to be over.
The one thing that i thought worked brilliantly was Jack Hughes at 13 playing as an extra prop.
Maybe in attack he just has not got some of the touches that you might need a second row. Last night he ran straight and hard. He didnt have to judge if he was a block runner or he was going to get the ball.
I thought he had his best game for us last night. Hopefully that is his position from now on.'"
Answers
A) Probably
B) Possibly
C) This time last year we were wishing the season over. We did not lie down & Die we dug in & won every
game. |

Good game I've read on here.
Well no it went but it was pleasing and also disappointing to see how good Wire are.

Didn't he pull a hamstring kicking off at the Boulevard, after which he was never quite the same player as some of his pace was lost due to this injury? |

I suspect making the dream team - rightly imo - Appo thought he'd cracked it and went home, went off the rails and came back in the words of Mark Hilton like a fat hamster. I think he thought he'd be1st choice 6 ahead of Briers and was miffed at being on the wing. It then all went downhill and his season was poor leading to him being cut for Andrew John's. A real shame.

Ha ha! We said that last night. We think it's written in players' contracts and due to a misunderstanding they all took their time off in rotation last week! |

Appo isn't really comparable to Shelford. Shelford was a ball player with limited athletic prowess. In the modern game he'd have had no chance. A few years later players like Dean Lawford and Owen Craigie came around who were Shelford-esque but didn't make much impact in SL.
Appo was never a great ball player he was just a dynamic runner who could do damage from stand-off, and could kick OK. His main card was his explosive athletic qualities and so when he was not in shape he was ineffective hence only having a very brief spell of success for us.
Imagine if you could create a Wire team with the Appo of 2003 at 6, Sandow of 2016 at 7, and Henare of 1996 on one wing with Kevin Penny of 2007 on the other. I expect the attendances would improve...
