The London game does matter. If we win we might be at home in the MPG. Lose and we are definitely away either in the South of France or on a plastic pitch!

Might be better off away, in front of someone else's nervous fans!

Not in France or on the terrible plastic pitch at Widnes.

We've won in France once and were 90 seconds from winning our league game there. They beat us fairly comfortably at LSV. Widnes have beat us comfortably both home and away.

Not seen anything in these 8s to suggest that home "advantage" would lead to anything other than a performance gripped with anxiety, like the Hull KR game.

thought feallen was an actor on Coronation Street?

Going to have to be squeaky clean on Friday. Can't afford any charges from the bent RFL to give the French more of a advantage if we do play them

Too right! Similar to a clueless boss in a commercial environment, "Go home and think about what you did wrong". Suited to 80/90's industry may be, but a modern-day Super League sporting environment?

Let's reframe it to get some talking points. What is the new Head of Rugby and Coaching team communicating to the players, that give them the response they are getting? Hampshire reportedly telling Jukes how to coach, Higson apparently missing training, Ridyard coming to training eating a 12" or whatever he supposedly did "wrong", Hopkins? etc, x 7.

It's actually quite laughable.

Personally, I'd rather have 5000 hostile Leythers providing an 'extra man' at home against Catalans, than about 7,000 hostile Frenchmen doing it to our lads! Whether in Perpignan or Leigh, the away team is going to feel somewhat under the cosh from the crowd.

I'm sure we will be all out for a win on Friday. here's hoping that London are no longer motivated!

Looking on the bright (er) side, we could/should have Higham, Vea, Dawson, Hampshire and Hopkins available for Friday. (I'd assumed Vea and Hopkins were just being rested)

Higson officially warned about his poor time keeping, then went out on the lash Friday, bunked off training the day before Widnes.

Hampshire losing the plot and descending in to a foul mouthed tirade at his coach and telling him, (understatement) he is not playing where he was selected to play for Leigh, following a detailed analysis of where Jukes felt his best position was for us, deeming himself unavailable for Leigh team selection.

Well paid Super League sportsmen indeed.

So what would you do when faced with the above, given where we now find ourselves ? I am intrigued.

If I was warned about my timekeeping, entered in to a full foul mouthed tirade against my boss, refusing to do what I was paid to do, and bunked off full days work what do you think would have happened to me in my environment ?

So come on, tell me how you would deal with it ??

Wasn't Hampshire in the 19 for Halifax? Did the problem occur after that?

It is all resolved and happened sometime ago after the Widnes away game, I was replying to ' Centurino' statement criticising how it was been dealt with, without offering any alternative.

Over to him, to tell us how Daryl Powell and Shaun Wane deal with such matters ( Other than showing the door !)
