I must admit I wonder why we are looking for another halfback when between Tomkins, Leului, and Tim I think we are quite strong and will only get better. Personally I would like to see us go out and get two big dominant props instead. Also think we need to get somebody in to work with Noble (if he stays) who knows how to design a modern atttacking team - just feel Noble is backwards in his thinking. I really hope Tim Smith stays with us.

If we're to have a hope in hell of winning anything this year, we need a fit and in form Tim Smith in the team.

Given the recent ( and justified) posts about the declining standards of RL in this country, Tim Smith stands out as the exception which very much proves the rule.


The most talented footballer in the country by a mile.


Can he convert that talent into peformance?

Good stuff and fair play to the lad. It's just another reminder that away from the field all these rumours when he signed that he's be trouble have proved incorrect. He seems to have been nothing but decent and honest and i'm looking forward to having him back in the side on Friday.

McIlorum, Riddell or Sam Tomkins to make way?

Spot on! When he's on it he makes us a far better attacking team,shame he's off at the end of the season and it's taken so long for us to see him play well.

(First post virgin!)

There is, its called 'Pensionbook', although none of us can sign in because we cant remember our passwords ?, I wrote mine down but cant find the piece of paper its on..............its in here somewere ?

On current form it should be Riddell. He seems like a nice bloke, but he needs a wake-up call with regard to his on-field performances.

No doubt Smith isnt the best in defence, but he's back already following a family illness and that shows he want to make it happen as well as possible over here.

For Friday,

6. Smith
7. STomkins

9. Tommy
Bench - McIlourm

Riddells preformances havent warrented him a place, unless he plays at prop which his figure would allow.

Agreed. Smith at 7 though cos thats what he is int it.

He is definitely back was told so yesterday!
