[quote="Frank Zappa":1sacjrvf]Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.[/quote:1sacjrvf] [quote="The_Enforcer":1sacjrvf]Most idiotic post ever goes to Grimmy..... The way to restart should be an arm wrestle between a designated player from each side.[/quote:1sacjrvf]:



Quote: Pemps "I genuinely can't remember any game, apart from the grand final, where we've lost a game due to Zac's goal kicking. Even then I'd say that we have a better chance of winning the game with Zac and Gildart in the centres rather than Hankinson and Gildart.'"

In the 18, 19 and 20 seasons we would have won a grand total of three more games if we had kicked 100% of our conversions, which no one does. That's miniscule compared to the impact of picking a player who will help us score fewer tries or concede more tries. Just pick the best team based on playing ability then select the best goalkicker from that team. Right now Hankinson would get in on playing ability, the goalkicking would just be a bonus.

What worries me about this Hankinson's recall is how serious Gildart's injury is. First of all Gilly was missing for a couple of weeks and now there is no date on his return!

To me, Hankinson should come in v Wakefield at right centre with Bateman left centre. Bibby and Hanley wingmen.

As for the GF and Hanks. I firmly believe that had Hanks been on the right with Zac then we'd have won. We'd have scored more tries and kicked more goals with that as a right side.
Around four weeks before the GF we played Saints and beat them. The only thing that kept Saints in that game was Zac's poor goal kicking. It was obvious to me that if we went into a GF with Zac kicking we'd struggle. If we'd Hanks out there in the GF goal kicking alongside Zac then we'd have won with more than one score.

I don't think Hankinson is a better option than Bibby on the wing. By your logic we may as well try to sign that David Beckham wannabe winger who played at Saints. He was a good kicker. Shit winger though.

He is earning his money giving lockdown haircuts these days. His fancy Dan persona is probably more suited to hairdressing then rugby

I've certainly had enough of Lam's baseless optimism when it comes to predicting the length of injury rehab.

That is my worry and it would add a further 6-8 weeks to his recovery. I can see no other reason for recalling Hank.

We are currently looking at Isa going to 3 who can't play centre anymore. Hankinson would be a better option than that. How Lam sees it going forward is anyone's guess. Zac says he wants to play fb, so where's French going to play? The way it's looking Bateman could be centre for some time as when when Gilly returns he goes left side.

I just hope the lads have been given some good direction by the coaching staff this week as Trinity are a big squad and pretty mobile.

Leeds dominated Trinity in round 1 in the pack.

They hardly made any meters unless it was on the edges.

It will be interesting comparison to see how we go.

It will also be interesting to see his pick and the right edge as Toupu and Johnstone could have a field day down that side.

Quote: Father Ted "These things about loans I've never understood.

First is sending a player out on loan who can't be recalled. Whether that's due to the contract or as suggested distance and not logistically possible. Although I don't get that as its only 2hrs from Euston to North Western or three and a half in a car.
Second is allowing a loaned player to play against us. Never understand the logic surrounding that one.

So we'll face Trinity without backs of French, Manfredi, Gildart and Marshall. At least Hastings returns but nothing yet on Tommy's possible disciplinary matters. It's difficult enough winning against them with a more or less a full team. Makes the Hankinson situation really odd.'"


So you would be fine doing that commute every day or multiple times per week?

Train - It isn't just 2 hours, its the commute to the station and from the station. Plus the fact tickets can end up being over £100 return.

Car - 7 hour round trip. No thanks

Exactly.

When I was living in SE London it has taken me on occasion 9 hours to get back to Wigan when visiting family due to bad traffic etc. Very rarely did it take less than 4 hours (that was on Christmas Eve)

When working on Manchester airport many years ago a group of 8 of us would travel in a van from Millom to the airport every day, 7 days a week for 6 months, We would set off at 5am, start at 8am, finish at 5pm and get home around 8pm, Young uns these days are pampered softies
