Hey bud - when Haven end your season next week can we have Penky back? He's wasted at Leigh.

Thanks Charles.

you can have him back. hes been garbage bar a few plays. Doesn't look like he wants to be at leigh at present.

Cool. Can you drop him off at Birch Services - we'll come and pick him up.

To be honest with the play offs now for the Top 8 teams I thought the NRC was always likely to be of bigger importance as unless we implode it always looked likely we could make the play offs in the current format.

Hoping for a good solid performance next week as its 2 defeats on the spin so a win is vital especially with another team arriving on the back of a loss keen to rectify that.

Have we had a half back since the new BOM took over?

No Town are not that bad, but to be 26-10 behind to a side that hadn't beaten anyone in the top 5 yet, that was poor.

That's OK then. Ridy was originally reported to be being rested prior to the Fev game, now its not certain he'll be back for Haven game. Reported that Penky doesn't seem interested, Pownall keeps having mares at FB which was his original position before being turned into a winger and a number of others underperforning. Also the return for the last couple of weeks of the inside ball tactic bodes for a very boring and under productive end of the season.

Hoping we get to see Ridyard in a Fax shirt next season.

Sack um!!!!!!!

Too many of our players had bad games yesterday but to write our team off because of yesterday is premature.

Wait till Riddy Brierley Parker Aspinwall and Higson are available.

One of our players yesterday cost us too many points. He knows that but will be anxious to do better next time.

Very true Frank. Can anyone shead any light on where Adam has got to. Is he injured again? He's not been in the U20's team either.

Rich as I said Penkys grubber kicks didn't come off yesterday , but they will , the lad has had a few quiet games , but Charlie has faith in him , to come good , along with the rest of the team .
We are NOT a bad team , just playing without half-backs , it will get better , im taking nothing for granted but we should beat Haven , and hopefully come good at the Business end of the season , just one more thing Rich find a NEW pin-up .

Well - we can certainly see how vital Riddy is to the team now. (No calls for him to be dropped??) Let's hope the team "clicks" against Haven.

Tony , Adam was going to play in our Poker Night tomorrow , but didn't want to risk further injury .

Jonny,

I don't think the problem is simply that our regular half backs have been out injured, in my view we haven't had ANY player who can CONTROL a game (in the way, for example, that Liam Finn does) since Jules O'Neill.

Also young Johnny Pownall is under intense pressure at full back. I know he started there but - again in MY view - he is not a FB; he is a winger and a bl00dy good one at that. I like the lad and he is desperate to do well so let's play him where he should be and give him that confidence boost.
