| Quote PopTart="PopTart"So just out of interest
If you have a player who has performed well all season but gets injured for a game, and his replacement plays equally well.
Would you alwasy have the guy who played last time keep the shirt?'"
Yes, injuries are part of the game, and to quote John Kear, one man's misfortune is another man's opportunity, to do otherwise would make that man go through the motions when called on, and if Ali was a true squad man he would be the frist to say that the man that replaced him should keep the shirt if he'd done the job.
Maybe part of our problem this season is that there hasn't been enough of that attitude in the club, if there is no real incentive for the players with the shirts to perform then they are likely to get complacent and go through the motions, and have we seen some going through the motions this season.

This is about putting the best team possible out, they are paid to play. If they're told to play they play (unless injuries). I doubt Ali saying he can play instead of him will make Agar happy at all. EDIT- I could understand if he did something amazing, but he hasn't.

This, IMO, is about creating a culture in the club where every player goes out and puts everything into every game they play for our club, and if you think that has happened all season then you are either naive or blind. I wasn't suggesting for one minute that Ali should go to Agar and tell him to pick Molloy instead of him and I really can't believe that someone thought I did.
As for performance, based on the last four games that team that played on Sunday is the best possible team that we can currently put out because in the previous three games we suffered bigger defeats against poorer teams.

I blame that for turning up to the game in the wrong attitude. If you didn't suggest it then why did you say it? At the end of the day I picked the team that I thought would of been the best to play against Salford theres 3 changes thats all and they are 3 quality players when they're on their game.

So surely if they turn up with the wrong attitude then the best way to change that attitude is to replace them with another player, and when that player turns up with the right attitude and does the job let him keep the shirt, and those three players haven't been quality for nearly enough time this season otherwise we would have won more games.

I got to disagree you can't blame these 3 players for a team game. Aiton works his socks off most games, he was abit off against Castleford because of his jaw. Smith can't does his magic without the pack winning their battles, Ali does not get enough support (nor does any player) so he can offload. If they turn up like they did against Wigan nearly every week then we would of won more games. Most off our losses besides a couple have been very close indeed.

| Why do most people want Tim Smith to walk straight back into the side?He's played poor most of this season, he looks one way and blindly "throws" the ball the other, and his kickings been rhubarb. The only change I would make from last weekend is reece lynne, he looks way too lightweight and his confidence looks zero. All we asked for before the Wigan game was 100% and with the team that was put out we got 110%.Give them a go, cant be a worse performance than hull kr and cas.

| A fit Lauitiiti off the bench any day ahead of Molloy. People forget he was a stand out player for us against Hull a few weeks ago and they struggled to contain him.

I must say after knocking him most of the season I thought lynne had a good game on Sunday and his defence was pretty good'
