I remember how poorly defensivly Sam played against Salford but because it's Sam hardly a word was spoken. The minute Roberts has a few dodgy moments there's 4 or 5 pages on him. What's the difference? I think some people are being to quick to judge, especially those who are wanting him out of the 17, quite ridiculous really.

That's probably because more people saw what Roberts had done as it was on TV. I don't want him dropped but I do think he needs a massive improvement, you cant bottle kicks like he did.

Are you scared of us? Any teams fans wouuld rather play and beat the team they face with near as poss full strength sides no excuses can be made then.

I hope the Hoff is able to recover, he took a bad bang and needed pain killing injections at hudds to return.

It would be great to get sam back at 1 and then finchy off the bench. However, this game will be won and lost up front in the forwards. They came to the DW last season and bullied our pack. We cannot afford for the same thing to happen again.

I wonder how much barking there will be at the DW next week when the dog lover comes to town?

Neither. Moran has Lewis in his pocket.

Not scared, but most people, I think quite rightly, identified you as our biggest threat, pre-season, and we've seen nothing since then to induce a change of mind.

I'd rather win against an injury-hit side than lose to a full strength one, which is quite possible given the relative strengths of both sides. Gonna be a great game, as is the return match at the HJ, and both will go a long way to deciding the eventual destination of the hubcap.

They were much better kicks, in my opinion. The Salford ones were all into areas Sam wasn't and he struggled to adjust to them positionally. The Brough kicks were just high bombs that Amos bottled.

You make it sound like Roberts was stood under them for 5 mins waiting Them bombs from Brough were swerving a lot more in the air. The only player in our squad i would have backed with serious confidence to take all them would be Pat and we all know how good he is taking high balls.

Friday is a massive must win game for wire. A deafeat to us would effectively put them 3 points behind us if we won our game in hand, a lead that would not be easilly overcome.

They cannot afford to lose this opne and will be as good as their early season cup final

its not an excuse at all. Two of the kicks were directly under the posts, one of which deflected off them and the others were just great kicks with just the right amount of length on them for the pressure to be applied.we offered no protection to roberts and applied no pressure to brough to prevent kicks of that quality to be put it. no coincidence it didnt happen in the 2nd half. To say he bottled 4 kicks is very harsh. we all know how hard it is to take kicks from a standing start against numerous on rushing defenders who have momentum to their jumps.
