Aaah lovely, a bit of wry humour to end a difficult weekend, that brought a smile to my face.

Hang on, sorry, it was intended as a joke wasn't it?

Lol no. Atkins knows where the line is, he doesn't know where his winger is, I figure factor out the issues in his game and what your left with is what you have. A finisher.

Ahh, ok. I see. Far be it from me to cast doubt on your selection, but wouldn't you find it a concern that your three-quarter line would still be making their way back to the dressing room after the warm-up, long after the match had concluded and the stadium lights were off?

If Blythe is a starting centre we might as well write off next year.

I agree with this, that's why I put atkins as winger in my line up too. Big quick and can get over the line just not the best passer. Think he could be our Ryan hall.

Right. everyone stop it now. You're just saying the first things that come into your head now.

Can I change my selection please? I'd like to put Matty Russell at prop, cos he's short and can't catch a high ball. He could be the new Danny Nutley.

Lol

Yes it's your 17

If you cast your mind back, when Atkins arrived, he was winger to King. He carried the number 23 to represent winger/centre I believe.

How do you suggest we get rid of Gidley when he is under contract?

I don't know if this is actually true, but I was told that when Dodds got injured at Catalan this season, he had to stay behind due to the injury and couldn't fly back but had to be driven back by a club rep a few days later. Apparently, en route, there was a car-jacking incident and the two of them were nearly left stranded in the French outback.

So there you have it. Organise a team-bonding exercise in the south of France, rent a mini bus and send Bailey, Dodds (he could navigate, he'd obviously know the way), R.Evans, Penny, Gidley & Atkins off in advance and let our European neighbours criminal fraternity do the rest.

Not only would we free up a huge chunk of the salary cap, we could probably get a nice insurance pay off as well.

I would also be happy for t king to take Atkins spot if he moves on as rumoured and Cosby. For Harrison or Dodds

Move Patton to hooked to spell Clarke and ratch in the halves

Move Patton to hooker?


Really?


You're suggesting that after this weekend?

I can't believe some of your fans don't rate Ratchford.

In my opinion he is absolute quality and like some mentioned a few pages earlier, one of SLs finest players. I'd have him at Hull FC in a heartbeat. Speaking of which, when we played you guys for the LLS, Ratchford had a great game and I think we would have beaten you had he not been in the team. Just my opinion of course.

Anyway I was hoping you'd have won the GF on Saturday but you were just lacking some go-forward and maybe some game management in the second half. Get a couple of good props and you'll be ok. Also FWIW, I thought you were quite unlucky not to win the CC but obviously no regrets on my behalf

I know that it doesn't fit our negative reaction on here that we've got at the moment Rodney but I agree with you.
