The touchie couldn't have made it any clearer for Bentham, could he? I suppose he could have saidcontact send him off with the face. By the way, Phil. You clearly must send him off. Now. Red card. Out of the pocket, in Senior's face. Send him off'.

It would have been better for Senior had he carted him, I suspect the imminent ban will be worse as a result.

Underrating him, underrating him. Are you having a laugh. Folk wanted to see him in the SL dream team for goodness sake, pretty much on the back of 4 Tries at Castleford. His stats will be decent as he's in a side that's been largely dominant this year. I'll maintain, big games, arm wrestle, all those silly terms, I've not seen your 'Tony P' step upto the plate like others have, ie, Graham, Morley.

In Cricket, folk talk about averages, but folk normally want to interrogate the stats further. When did he get his runs, were they match winning runs, under pressure runs, or runs when his side was dominant. From what I've seen he looks quality when all is going well, and crap when it's sleeve roll up time, which is generally where the best earn their reputation.

I wouldn't swap any of Cooper, Morley or Carvell for him.

Tony P is a second rower. If you look at the minutes Ali L did for Leeds, that is the ideal for Puletua too. He comes on, does the fancy stuff and goes off when his energy levels are getting low. He's now playing the majority of the games at prop, so obviously the skills have to be put on the back burner.

no, you said he was crap therefore you are under rating him because he is far from it. If you were arguing that he was very good rather than superb, or just good rather than very good your argument would be at least credible. To say he is crap though is moronic and it is that statement that I have argued against.

That Gateaux bird, saints fan will have your knackers for garters for even suggesting that Puletua isn't the best forward in the world.

IMO Puletua is just an average player.

That rumour is complete rubbish and you know it.

best thread name ever

aye, he's an average player with some of the best prop forward stats in the league despite not being a prop forward and only filling in there. In fact, he is like every other Saints player who are also average and only carried by all the world class players around them.

Wow your deluded.

Graham is the clear best prop forward in SL. Make more yards than anybody by a clear distance and is reigning MOS. Of course you wouldn't want him? Give over.

Saints have no world class players, other than the man in purple

Prior to that, I thought Smith was lucky to get away with a \fairly bad high one followed by a punch. Leeds could be booking a Coach to Red Hall on Tuesday.

Some people on here need to get real.

Show me a good loser & I will show you a loser.

Rather have JG display than wire players laughing & joking with opposition after a defeat. ( Although not seen it much since the Gleeson's left )

JG reminded me of Les Boyd 1989 semi final @ maine rd.
Hooter goes, Les takes off shirt, heads for tunnel.
Don't remember many Wires decrying those actions!

Absolute nonsense. Are you saying that the likes of Cunningham are losers?

The tackle by jjb was nasty in context if it happened
to Paul Wood or anyone who has had shoulder surgery
that could finish their career the game's hard enough
as it is.

Ben Westwood got a five game ban early season for
a high shot, but this is a deliberate attempt to injure a
player and wont be anywhere near that length of ban,
sends out the wrong message.

Behave....That Was Boyd's last crack at Wembley, he'd been the best prop on the pitch, wire had been the best side right up till Lydons drop.
he was due to retire as player for ever, just a couple of games later.

even the Laughing policeman would be a bit Pi$$ed off at the final hooter of that game...

James Graham Has now exposed a very real Weakness in his game as any player worth his salt will irritate the scouse get at every opportunity. in fact the RFL should make it a new rule....
