| Quote RealSteel89="RealSteel89"I think what you saw from Pitts was born out of frustration that his fellow forwards had allowed Mcllorum amongst others cheap shot our players throughout the 2 games and nobody stood up to him. In my opinion the blame lies with the pack for not standing up for themselves last weekend. An example of this is Mcllorum twisting Fifita's ankle to try an aggrevate his injury on at least 2 occasions. Dave shouldnt be allowing that to happen and should be getting stuck into him for it. Or playing clever and highlighting it to the officals by staying down.
I think Pitts showed something which ive wanted to see since the back end of last year. Some desire and fight, i wish all the forwards showed the same. He'd be my captain from this point forward to be honest.'"
100% agree
If the 58 - 0 game we were bullied for 80 minutes.
Mcillorum is the player doing a hefty share of the "naughty" stuff and not once did we respond.
You could argue that the ref should have dealt with him and penalised him but, surely, the Forwards should be "letting him know" that he isn't going to get away with it and if neccessary, do something about it.

| Chester comes across very relaxed and not interested in giving interviews. The squad plays like no rush and it will be ok.
We have plenty of potential just needs coaching out.

Could argue he shouldn't have been playing in the first place after he went in with the knees last week.

I was referring to the first game and yes, he was at it again on Saturday.
Pitts was right to get stuck into him, although, his timing wasn't great, as we were in the ascendency at the time.
He is just an (ex) Wigan grub, and was allowed to do what the hell he wanted for most of the 2 games.
I wish we had a couple of similar players.

We did and he would have smashed the grub, but he was an absolute loon off the pitch.
Agree 100% that we were bullied off the park and our big men were pretty feeble. However remember this, we moan like chuff when players get booked and call them penalty machines, in fact Pitts is getting some stick for manning up. So those demanding we toughen up then fine but remember the down side before you get on their backs, you can’t have it both ways!
Other teams don’t get away with it as we seem to think, it’s part of their game and they know how to deal with the fallout, we don’t we go to pieces because our forwards don’t defend their own penalties. You can get away with almost any penalties if you’re willing to defend as a unit.

| Quote 1315trinity="1315trinity"I think I would make Pitts Captain as well for the same reason and I also agree with you about Hampshire.
I know Walker didn't cover himself in glory against Catalans but he's never really had a chance to settle at FB so I would continue with him there, seeing as my preferred FB by a mile (MJ) will never claim the position - it seems.
But MJ is far too good to leave out so he would be at 6 and Milky at 7 for me.
Whatever else he is, MJ is not a winger and I really didn't understand that call.'"
Walker played all of last season for London at fullback and whatever games he started for us this year had been at fullback. And I have yet to see him offer anything more than either Max or Rocky do at that position, other than maybe faster than Max and better under the high ball than Rocky.
The signing of Walker is another example of Chester trusting another club’s academy product than ours. Max has been around the first team for nearly 5 years now and if anything other than the first year where the other fullback was either Craig Hall or BJB, he hasn’t had a fair run at FB.
Take 2017 for example. Salford away in the league, Max came in for Grix, had a stormer then got dropped the following week.

| It would seem that the SKY and BBC commentary teams see Mcilorum as some sort of "character" a "bit of a lad" sort of thing and not the inherent nasty player that he is and was all the time that he was at Wigan. They seemed to treat his thuggery as a bit of a joke. No wonder Jay Pitts lost his rag.A typical Wane product, and rightly deserves the "Grub" tag that he's acquired

Sky team
McDermott - ex Wigan
Clarke - ex Wigan
O’Connell - ex Wigan
Carney - ex Wigan
There is a pattern here, just can’t work out what it is
That said it was the BBC last week, can’t even remember who they are.
