6 months of not playing, two weeks of running, gets man of the match and still gets bagged

the sponsors choose MOTM brearley- they often don't have a clue- in fact a colleague of mine was invited to join the sponsors in their box- she asked me prior to the game who she should choose. I gave her a name- and that's who got MOTM

Seb was by far the best player on the pitch last night.

And I'm not "bagging" him I'm just pointing out that he wasn't the perfection some seem to think he was. He did some good stuff- and some not so good stuff- what I'm saying is in a few weeks the fans on here will only notice the latter.

Looks like wire will be without Matty Russel and Ryan Atkins after picking up injuries against Widnes

We will have to differ on the knock ons- thats part of my point- fans See what they want to see.
He dropped a bomb late in the first half. Remember it clearly as the guy next to me at the time mumbled something about grix! There was then a caffufle in the second where him Darnell didn't communicate - luckily we earned a penalty due to an infraction by a Catalan player so didn't lose the ball.
Just to be clear I'm not bagging him- I'm bagging some of the fans.
The fans on here will start to pick up on the errors he makes -whilst ignoring the good stuff- give it till next year- look how things changed with grix, in the end he could do no right! yet the wakey fans love him right now!
Our full back has always been the scapegoat since Reilly went. Even Brett Hodgson got it in the neck. Then many of those who'd been moaning about him were crying that thewlis (wrong) let him go.
A fullback is exposed more than any other player, and a fullbacks errors are more obvious as a result of that. What is less obvious to most is the organisation, positioning and understanding of the opposition plays a fullback must have- those can't easily be measured or observed, but a dropped bomb or a missed tackle in open play they are obvious.
So yes I'm bagging - but not who you think!

Monday at Warrington considering they will be without Atkins, Russell, Brown and potentially Westerman and Clark aswell, we SHOULD be aiming for 2 points.

I already know we will finish bottom 4 (95% sure) but this is our last chance in my eyes of having the slightest glimmer of hope of saving the season. A loss though and it confirms 100% for me that we have no hope at all this season and it will be between Us, Leigh, Widnes and Hull KR who ends up in the MPG this season and I would not be confident at all going up against any of those teams at present. I think Saints will be in the bottom 4 but they won't be anywhere near the MPG.

What worries me the most is if we are bottom 4 again we will be in the same situation next year regarding poor recruitment - as that was the excuse this season.

wasting your time lad

yeh a boost for us that russell wont play... not sure about atkins if he plays?

will brown come back for them?

an extra day and if we get taai and cudjoe back we should be winning, if we cut out the errors then they will but thats a huge question!!

The one thing we don't seem to be able to do is respond. Leeds got thrashed by cats- next game out and they are a changed side. Lose to wire, next game and they trounce hull away.
Win, lose or draw we just don't seem to respond.
I have absolutely no idea what will happen on Monday. Just hope we see better rugby whatever!

I'm positive if we cut our errors. That's a big if though.

Thinking of driving there - what's car parking like there please ?

Some parking nearby- limited on street - but check residential only signs in some areas. there's an ex council car park right next to the ground that charges a fee- might be free on BH- but more likely they will cash in. DO NOT park in Tesco across from the ground.
We have sometimes got in next to the club on winwick street next door to the station but you will have to be early. Taking the train this time and making a day of it!

Cheers jools.

Plenty of paid car parking around the ground.

The Railway club isn't there anymore that is also now a car park.

Cheers Daz.

Only trained it there previously.
