yepwe are lucky to win every game all these players out blah blah blah. What about the quality of absentees though? I would suggest that Lunt and Cudjoe are two very important players for us, every team has injuries but most just deal with them.

Also with particular reference to Leeds and Wigan, all other teams are more likely to have players suspended. The Bowen and Peacock decisions being nothing short of shameful.

This bit is spot on. We need to sort this if we want to get to GF never mind win it.

As usual, I must have been watching a different game. Apart from half a dozen players each dropping the ball once and a couple of silly penalties, I thought our performance was good. Good, not outstanding, but still good. We are improving week by week [Saints apart, and heading nicely for the play-offs. At this rate we shall be in outstanding form once hte proper season starts [!.

i think you'll find we went 24-12 up and ended up doing a number on them, unbeaten in 7 against them



The biggest difference was the captains, one kicked 40:20's took the high ball in the last few minutes and kicked all his goals, the other kicked straight to touch on numerous occasions, out paced by the centre and didn't kick all his goals.

Is that all you have to do to get an MBE?

Brough got danced around by Watkins for Leeds' first try and if Hardaker was playing at FB two of those 40/20's don't happen, possible all three don't.

HaHaHa don't make me laugh Mystic Meg. You sound as bad as the Leeds fan coming out of the ground explaining to somebody on his mobile that Leeds were robbed because of the last disallowed try. He was adamant that Brough and Briscoe were shoulder to shoulder and then Brough decided to dive out of the way




Oh by the way, if Cudjoe was playing that Sutcliffe try doesn't happen either as he gets flattened!!

And if Lunty was playing, he scoots in for a couple of tries!!

Maybe not, but it's all you have to do to be England Captain with the Clown in charge.

I fear Ta`ai`s problems at playing the ball will not be sorted out at training as he has seldom played the ball correctly since we got him . The number of times he has knocked on whilst attempting to play the blooming thing must be into the dozens since he came . How he has managed to achieve such a level of incompetence in a professional rugby career is quite remarkable .
I would suggest sending him to train with the Newsome Panthers under 6`s on their next basic skills session.

Does any player in RL play the ball correctly? If a player did so he would probably be binned for a rules infringement.

Agreed players seldom play the ball `correctly`, most however manage it without knocking on . Ta`ai`s technique is so bad however a knock on is always likely . As I said it`s a basic skill he`s never manage to learn
