He choses RM for every game at fullback.
At the present time I think, so far, both are doing a good job so I'll buck the trend I think and support both!'"

I fully agree with you here.
Am I correct in thinking that you have had many years of involvement in RL? As have I.
The trouble is that 'tryscorer' thinks he is the only one with such credentials.
As for the ' you can't educate pork'. Assessing him on his literacy skills. He surely is 'pork'.

Funny how two games against 2 bang average teams completely changes the sentiment on this board. Some people have short memories.

Fear: The best insurance money can buy. [img:31j44yfw]http://www.rlfans.com/images/sigs/Mr%20Bliss2.gif[/img:31j44yfw]:d7dc4b20b2c2dd7b76ac6eac29d5604e_15646.jpg



We don't know for sure but Ben Jones Bishop's future at Leeds looked uncertain so he scored 2 tries.
Speculation that Richie Mathers is going elsewhere and he scores 4 tries.

Is anyone else under the microscope??????

Next week is definitely shaping up to be a very interesting match. Looking forward to it knowing we can put some points on the board. I do think our defence will be our downfall as we have the players to score points but I question our resilience to defend our own line when facing lots of pressure. Our goal-line defence looks fragile and we've conceded some soft ones over the last few games. Sunday will be the litmus test against a very good attacking outfit.

Think I took that last sentence out of Stevo's handbook of cliches. icon_smile.gif

icon_lol.gif I knew someone would post this.

It's true but your missing the point.

Thanks to the ludicrous return of P&R its now a results driven sport not as it should be IMO a performance driven one.

This is why we will never beat the Aussies and why it's such a pathetic short sighted move. It creates short termism in administrators, coaches and players so why should fans be any different? All that matters now is the result so I'd get used to the extreme emotional ebbs and flows of fans opinion as we no longer have the luxury of building just surviving.

Mathers is poor defensively so is fox and lynne we all know it because we all watch it.We have watched the same outside back weakness's for the last couple of seasons but agar seems blinkered to the fact,all the crap he spouts about structures & systems and his stupid tutting when we are on sky gets on my tits.He never address's our obvious weakness's after 2 seasons yet the same players start the next game regardless.I have to ask myself is he capable of trying to coach out these problems or are we going to keep seeing the same mistakes all through his tenure,because I,the fans and opposition coaches are not nieve enough to think these players will not be targeted by the top teams.Unfortunately these players will then come under the spotlight again undermining what little confidence they have gained against the last two poor teams we have just beaten convincinley.

for the first time in the history of the club Trinity have just won back to back league games by scoring 50 points or more.

how is it that people cannot enjoy the good things in the game any more... contantly looking for the next failing, even in the light of two very good performances.

In the SLTV interview Alan Agar said that full tiome football has taken the fun out of the game!!!

he seems to be totally accurate in his opinion...

I just watched the highlights and there were some tremendous tries scored against London... an absolute joy to watch.

I am of the opinion that the two teams in question are not poor... far from it...

Think that all he is trying to say is that our weaknesses have not disappeared despite two convincing wins against at times poor sides. Mathers is a divisive figure amongst the fans at the best of times, let's see how he goes against saints and for me the litmus test game someone referred to earlier, against Hull KR.

Oh wouldn't it be fantastic to have a World class three-quarter line who never missed any tackles or dropped any balls....

Unfortunately....back in the real World, we aint packing Belle Vue to the rafters every week selling the place out, so we have what we have....

We've still managed to be able to have a squad with some cracking players in so lets be thankful of that.....maybe if we got rid of Lyne, Mathers and Fox (who have all done their bit going forward and scoring tries lately) and replaced them with World beaters, then we may have to lose the likes of Sammut, Lauititi and Collis and replace them with inferior players....

Until we are packing out Belle Vue every week, the reality is we will have players throughout the team that wont put in star performances every week.....or am I missing something?

This.

We really need to see a positive response from the Wakefield public to the last 2 weeks.
