You couldnt lift 10 pints.

thats grown up

I left on 58 minutes, what's the problem? Beat the traffic and got a takeaway on the way home. We was 30 points behind at the time, and im struggling to see what kind of pleasure id have gotten out of the last 22 minutes? Id more than seen enough. If you are going to have a go at anyone, have a go at the season ticket holder that don't even turn up for play off games, not people who DO turn up but leave early.

He's got a great suggestion about Friday - Let Salford Win

Correct, they'd spill



You're in danger of damaging your whole 'Enforcer' image. It all worked perfectly before with 'stick forwards on the wing, introduce armwrestles to games, bring back Skerrett, I can lift more pints than you!' but you're wrecking it by suggesting we should have conceded the WCC and now let the opposition beat us in the Final Eliminator

Ill tell you now, if Lam had heeded my advice at the start of the season and brought Skerrett in to put some fire into our forwards, they wouldnt of been stood around like one of Lewis's whilst the Saints forwards ran past them unopposed. I warned our forwards had a soft underbelly and i have been proven right again.

I never said we should of conceded the WCC, i said we should of pulled out after we won the GF to concentrate on the season ahead and i never said we should let the opposition beat us on Friday. I was speaking as a fan, let Salford have a go, they at least have a bit of firepower in the forwards, we dont.

What experience of coaching does Skerrett possess these days.

What has he done since his playing days? I genuinely don't know.

What I do know is that you can't expect current forwards to watch a few DVD's from the 80's and suddenly turn into a group of possessed Les Boyds smacking everything in sight, for one they wouldnt last long on the pitch (see Ben Flower for example).

Lockers "What are we doing today boss? Working on winning the collision in defence to stop the opposition getting a roll on?"

Lam "Nope"

Farrell "Moving the ball away from the ruck so we don't get caught by the markers?"

Lam "Not that either. No, today we have a Welsh international prop forward to show us how punching the opposition is the key to success in big games. Sit down Ben. Gentlemen please welcome Kelvin Skerrett!"

Excellent.

Geez mate you’ve outdone yourself here. Has Skerrett even been involved in the game since retirement? Whilst we’re being all nostalgic why not bring Billy Boston down to coach our wingers too? He’s only been retired 49yrs.

Pulling out the WCC is conceding the WCC. And to make such a suggestion is utterly bizarre but not as bizarre as “let Salford have a go” as though the Grand Final is a child’s toy.

Are you trying to say Skerrett was a crap forward and offered nothing but throwing punches? Was you even born when Skerrett was playing for Wigan?

Yes he has been coaching in amateur Rugby and from all accounts has done a very good job. Your, comparison of Boston is ridiculous.

Pulling out of the WCC is not conceding it. The game would of just been called off. They wouldnt of just crowned Sydney the world champions. Perhaps if we had done as i suggested we would of been better prepared for this season and not lost one of our most important players to a long term injury. Even some of our senior players themselves admitted the WCC game had been a major distraction.
