Ah, referring to my arrogance again! Seriously, did I pigeonhole you specifically as a HC? I do remember referring to "the clapping classes" in a retort to (in my view) a robust post aimed at me by 21-12. My recollection is that you thereon took it upon yourself to be affronted. If my recollection is wrong I am sorry if I have unintentionally irritated you.

At the moment I seem to be a HC where SW is concerned but a Doom monger where the ST saga is concerned. You've found a hat that fits? Looks like I've found two.

I was only referring to myself... You suggested i had found a cap, i agreed. You should read whats written rather that try to assume what i meant by it

Meh. I give up.

Aye someone said you were a tw(o h)at.

Well I'll raise one of them for this fine effort Sir!

I'm glad you took it in the spirit it was meant. Thank you.

I'd go with that. For a win we will need to see some big improvements from last week. It's not just from the players who were tired from the short turnaround but also from those who returned last week after injury and looked equally knackered most of the game. This week we have two more players potentially returning after injury and Flower's was a long lay-off so I don't expect him to last long either.

Surprised Sam is out again. It didn't sound that bad (swollen knee) last week.

Wasn't it his knee that kept him out of the play offs last year? Perhaps a bit of a niggling injury there. We need to be sure to have him available v Widnes so it's probably just a precaution

Perhaps as well IL is getting rid, can't have a liability in the squad...

maybe Wane's made the decision, not Sam...using it as another experiment for "life after Sam" ?

methinks he must be fast coming round to the feeling that we need to buy in a specialist full back.

Well the ones tried so far don't look ready so maybe there is something in this.

I hope to god we've come to the conclusion that we need to buy a new winger and fullback a while back because if we've not or certainly if we don't we're knackered.

Hampshire, Burgess, Tierney etc have great potential but we're crazy if we think they can take over from 2 club legends at the ages of 18/19 with a handful of games between them. It wouldn't just be suicide from our point of view but it would also be unfair on those lads who's potential and ultimately careers could be ruined.

I'm sure Lenagan and even more so Wane aren't that daft.
