Are you from Mars?
O' Loughlin is the best Xiii in SL of course he gets his place back when he is fit. He is our captian (whether some like it or not), and a fantastic player.

Just watched the replay and he is everywhere in both defence and attack. Having said that i have always rated him.

Very good player.

Just watching the game again, too much alcohol last night plus I had seen my with the result, to appreciate it. But how fast is Mossop? For a big guy he can shift.

Don't know what everyone think's but he reminds me of a young Lee Gilmour??

Mossop was awesome, to think we have 10 years to come of him and the Tomkins brothers with us!
Time perhaps to send more lads out on loan next year?
Leigh and Widnes will be interested and Halifax are a club with good coaches too.

i'd like to see Flanaghan, Farrell, Ainscough and one of Goulding or Pryce all go out on loan next year. The reserve team would be hit but i'd rather these lads get the experience at a higher level.

What's the deal with Tuson btw? I know he got given a squad number but not heard anything about him, assuming he's injured but what's he like as a player?

Think Joel, needs a little rest straight swap for Bailey for next week. Drops far to many balls.

After our night out and only seeing the last 20 minutes in the Belle Vue Dog track Sports bar we got back to Billinge at about 1 a.m. and went for a last drink.



A Saints fan came over to me and said who was the big lad who came on.

I guessed at Mossop.

"That's him, Man of the match " he said.


After watching the recording this morning I thought he played well, but Sam was outstanding again.

Mossop for me will go on to be a Morley / Peacock prop forward as he bulks up.

I would take that, if he can be half as good and play for as long as those 2. We have another gem, me thinks.

Would certainly agree with that, looking at the work he got through and the effort put in I would say that a likeness to peacock is certainly there and there little doubt that as he develops his game will improve immensely, saying that he still had a great game last night and we'll need his bulk for next week.

he had his best game for the first team last night, certainly hit his weight in defence and attack, his work rate was good. For me he played his way into next weeks game. We could have two returning in Baily and Lockers ?? Who would you drop??

Joel and Flannagan. Flannagan has done nothing wrong and has done well, but Lockers bring's a little more to the table with both in attack & defence. I just think Joel looks like he needs a rest. Bailey bring a little bit of leadership and experience which (unfortunately), I think we lacked last night.

I agree completely.
