What is supposedly wrong with Chris Bridge?
He has only played something like two games out of the last nine (plus his under 20s outing last week), and he has had shockers. Even before his extended absence he was obviously struggling.
I hate to say it but I hope he gets nowhere near the 17 for next week, he'd be a liability.
I can't see him getting anywhere near his capabilities before the end of the season, would it be worthwhile him writing off 2012 and coming back next year fully fresh and ready for 2013?
At the start of the year Bridge and Atkins were the best centre pairing in SL, so it's a real blow

It would be fair to say his form is shocking no confidence only game time will cure that unfortunately we are running out off games we can risk him in this season

A Sucessession of injuries and loss of form. I can't see him displacing Atkins or Ratchford as first choice centres assuming that everyone remains fit.

Been garbage for quite sometime.

I dont care what injury he has, my 85 year old gran could have offered more of an attacking threat than him last night.

He looked totally uninterested to me, not worthy of a cup final place IMO.

If Bridge makes the team for the final I will be well and truly gobsmacked.

Did anybody who played last night look worthy of their place in the final? Was it a case of ' I don't to ruin my chances by getting injured ' rather than ' I will fight tooth and nail to make sure I get in the 17 ' ?

For me, those lads who came in last night know full well that they dont have a hope in hell of making the final and thats why they played like they did.

I was embarrassed for him with that complete and utter lack of a perfromance. Mind you Atkins was no better last night, anonymous.

Atkins has been off his game for a few weeks now, he was very quiet against Saints and Wigan too.

Im hoping he has just been saving himself for the cup final.

Thought the same thing about Atkins, we are used to seeing him bust defences and make line breaks and he seems a little off form.

I hope not, I think not taking Chris Hill would be a mistake.

He does seem a bit quiet in attack, for his usual standards, but he's still defending like a mo' fo', or at least he was against Saints/Wigan - I didn't watch last night.
