To be fair I thought we'd miss his tackling around the ruck but Grix was more than adequate in his replacement.

Riley is starting to freak me out. He looks short of confidence.

so chuffed. Forwards were just outstanding. though game and so proud. Come on the Wire

I dont think Hodgson will play again.

Something not quite right about him leaving.

he is undoubtedly the weak link that is being targeted by the opposition every week now. last night he made 3 glaring erros, which all resulted in a try for the opposition.

* He drops a high ball - Hudds go onto score
* He does his weekly shooting out of the line maneuver, which results in a hudds try
* he decides to backpedal and not take a drop out, opting to let it bounce.. this of course results in hudds getting the ball back and going on to score.

All 3 were extremely important times in the game.

When he shot out of the line and they scored, the camera pans onto Anderson, who is raging... you can see he is telling anyone who wants to hear 'i have been telling them to do that and attack that side all game, they finally do it and they score a try.'

This is not the occasional blip from a youngster learning his trade. This is how he plays his game. He always gives 100% and he is brave as they come, but I don't think he has the rugby brain or the technique to be playing for a team at the top end of SL... I am expecting to see him replaced next season.

Someone asked me at the game if 'I enjoyed that', the answer was in the main no I didn't, I was drained after that game.

Expect Matty Smith or Sinfield to have a field day with him next weekend

+1 didn't enjoy one minute of it...too nervous...ridiculous I know

I think the same thing... he is in for a torrid time.

I'm sorry, but Riley has to be dropped for the final next week, Grix to centre and Atkins to the wing for me. Riley has to many errors in his game and its going to cost us dearly eventually.

Leave Grix exactly where he is....if anyone comes in for Riley it should be Rhys Evans

have we any guarentee that evans will be any better on the wing, yes i know someon will say he can't be much worse, but GENUINELY, how much experience has he got playing on the wing, centre and fullback is what i can recall, is a grand final the time to be throwing him in?

If anything, Rhys Williams would be the preferred option.

Certainly none of this moving atkins onto the wing stuff, it was bad enough last week people saying put ratch on the wing. It beggers belief.

I know what your saying, and thats why I feel Riley will keep his place tbh but with regards to Evans I just feel he has the attractive trait that Grix has in that I dont think he would let anyone down where ever he plays (in the back line)

I genuinely think that Rileys displays this season could well have been the catalyst for Pennys return.

Penny got slaughtered as we all know... But was he this bad? Did he make this volume of mistakes with such regularity?

If you're going to have a winger that makes a few mistakes, at least make sure he is one of the quickest... there needs to be some value/payback for the errors.

I would rather have a fibreglass turd
