You don't believe Wane wouldn't know what team we would play?
Anyways. Pies have a structured game. It wouldn't make much difference to SW.

I guess they will likely line up with Gildart on the left and Bateman on the right so everything will be coming to our right regardless I think?

Totally agree regards to the fact that their focus probably be on our right flank, but with Russell now out of the 19 man squad, there will be different tactics now.

Why tell Wigan he is not playing, at this stage when their game plan would have been based around his defensive frailties & lack of aerial/try scoring threat in attack.

IMO Clark is one of the only players who never had a bad game and has not been backed up by a good enough replacement hooker and a poor pack. Played 80mins this season which worries me a bit as when Roby did that for a few years his level dropped! But for me Clark and Currie are our stand-out players, I don’t know why Clark doesn’t get more plaudits. It’s like players are forgotten about when a team drops down the league table, he’s been as good as ever.

He wants his England shirt back and good on him. Playing well. Top of the SL tackle count and with a > 10m average gain. www.rugby-league.com/superleague ... ayer_stats

Maybe Price wanted to use this opportunity to reward a player by including them in the squad whilst sending a very clear message to the players that no-one is undroppable and he selects on form.

Oh good, Russell isn’t playing so the usual suspects clap themselves on their backs as though Price was in some way influenced by them, deluded doesn’t even come close.

Here we go again. I'll explain so you can understand.

Nobody is saying that Price was influenced by the forum posts. Just that the forum posters view has been vindicated as clearly Price feels the same way.

So now do you understand that nobody, to my knowledge, has attempted to draw a causal link between the two events.

Who are the usual suspects by the way? Those who see things coming rather than have to wait for them to unfold?

Let me make this clear. You start with an assumption that it isn’t due to injury. Then leap to that being a vindication. Then you laud Price for dropping him when your starting point was you don’t know if he was dropped due to injury.
So to answer your question you are definitely one of the usual suspects, but you knew that.
(Just to make it even clearer your use of the word “vindication” was the back clapping I was referring to).
Karetakers reference to continuing to bleat until change takes place (I’m paraphrasing) was the deluded part. (Obviously suspect 2).
If anyone else wants clarification as to whether or not they fall into usual suspect category feel free to ask.
Ps if you can find a post where I suggest that Russell is a good winger, fill your boots.

So just so I understand, you want me to make an opinion just once regarding any player I don’t think is good enough to be in the team so I’m not classed as bleating?

Back clapping that’s interesting do you really think I get off on someone’s demise if it’s that what it is. I have an opinion you have an opinion everyone as opinions and people will sometimes disagree, so what’s your beef with what me or anyone else post and how often, as I said it’s my opinion.

I think over my time here I’ve called out many players even the team as a whole when they have been very poor, it’s not my intention to go out and single anyone person but for me it’s very obvious he as been poor for a long time, I guess that’s were your bleating comes in. Guess you miss that I’ve mentioned Westwood a few times.

Well I’m not going to change my ways because it upsets some people,I’m entitled to my say, there is always the ignore button if it bothers you.
