Attention Dire fans and trolls: NOT on the bandwagon, despite the join date. Those of us who were forced to watch Dennis Moran play in Cherry & White deserved to see Lockers lift that trophy at Old Trafford.

Funny. I thought that too. It'd appear we're both morons and must bow down to the wisdom of LSOW...

"Inbred" I believe is the correct term.

Are you saying Pat is more likely to kick them than Sam?
Are you saying the man known as Superman doesn't do more than just kick? Do you remember where we had issues in the WCC?
Anyway, nice attempt to take me off the OP topic.
If you want to discuss the impact of Pat's absence we can do it in another thread. |

| Quote: Last Son of Wigan "Here's a little quiz question for you
The answer will not give his direct replacement. The answer will give a player regularly included in the same squad as him. Again, I reiterate my point about the subs bench. If it worked the way it did in football, with a very limited number, no chance to bring a subbed player back on and not being allowed to utilise your full bench, then yes, you would be correct.
However, that's not how Rugby League works, thankfully. If you start the game as one of the four on the bench, you're extremely likely to get just as much game time as the man who starts in your position on the pitch. That does not make you his replacement.
And for my extra point, I addressed that issue in my very first post on this thread

I do see your point, seriously I do. I value Hansen for his contribution namely in defense. But then I look at a few other factors which are the other players we have in the backrow, and the results from the games he was out, and then in all honesty if someone were to say did we miss him? I say, no, not really.
We covered well and won our games. Hats off to squad depth.

I shouldn't have allowed myself to go off topic. I did it as people were pecking my head for comparisons to other notable absences, naturally I mentioned Pat.
Anyway...

And to that extent I agree with you. Based purely on results we've not missed him.
Based on how the squad has performed, that's open to interpretation, and the majority would seem to indicate that we have.
In the future, try to refrain from making massively sweeping statements about a player (who is very popular amongst the fans) and his contribution to the squad, and then not expecting to have your head bitten off.
We're done here. |

Cheers for the tip. I usually expected a more intelligent response from people which doesn't always happen.
Thank you for providing decent discussion without any abuse.
All done. |

Ah, good taste!
What a dreadful thing!
Taste is the enemy of creativeness.

I dont think we've missed him, because we have a good squad.
HOWEVER I do believe that we would have been a stronger team with him in, and that he is a far superior player to Chris Tuson.
