SMITH should no who his half backs are, it`s quite important in rugby league. Maybe he should ask Agar as he did so well in the past.

do you honestly think your dream pairing would have prevented tonights display?

Ratchford and Bridge have never been beaten as a hb pairing.
This time last year we couldn't buy a win.
Chance paired them together and our season was completely upturned.

That is for sure whether we would have won tonight or not with them we will never know.

i take it you didnt go to our thrashing at cas last season?

while i admire your persistence in your theory, the reality is it ISNT the HB pairing of bridge and ratchford that is causing the issues here.

Bridge is either totally shot or he isnt trying... either way, he isnt a 6 in a million years.

did you go to the game tonight?

Bridge never played in that game, pal.

really? i could have sworn he played 6..... maybe my mind is playing games on me as i get older.... can you find a link thats shows he didnt (not that i disbelieve you)

Ratchford and Bridge were not the hb pairing until Catalan in May I think. It was the week before we got Leeds at home who were top of the league, unbeaten and nobody gave us a prayer.

Bridges first game at 6 came v Bradford away.

Wire got battered. Bridge was shat!

Then Ratchford returned from injury and partnered Bridge...from that point on, we were completely transformed.

My point is and always has been....

Ratchford and Bridge.

Not Bridge at 6 with anyone else....he stinks as bad as any other shat player on his own.

Bread is dry, butter is greasy...put them together and it is divine.

point remains.... putting bridge and ratchford at HB (as good as they were.. which was more ok, than brilliant) wont solve this current sides problems.

unless we can put Michael Monaghan in a time machine and get him back.

No one possess hindsight.

its not hindsight though.... its called 'managing a SL team'... briers left, we did nothing... hodgson left, we signed Russel then moved him to the wing.

I can see an argument why individually we can pick out the flaws in players in our team.

However let liken putting out a team as if like baking cake.
If the recipe use isn't right it can drastically effect the results, even if the ingredients are the same...!

So we look back at when we last created that cake perfectly and use those exact quantities of ingredients and use them in the right order.....!

I await the "what on earth are you on about?" remarks.
