All men are created equal, some work harder in preseason.

Looking at that, i'd say the main difference is that the 2004 squad looks more established and experienced. I think our backs now are at least as good and I dont think there's much between the forwards.

I did say that I supposed this squad had to win something first (although the 2004 one never). There's no harm in comparing squad depth and quality is there? |

There's every harm in crowing after one win, it can make us look foolish. |

Would love a Richie Barnett snr in our 2013 side. Remember admiring him at London and was well made up when he signed for us. Had a bit of mongrel in him as well.

If you are not part of the solution then you are more likely part of the problem...: |

Was banned for two years in 2008 for a drugs offence, now playing for Keighley Cougars. |

Hadn't heard about the drugs offence, was a reasonable player.
Keighley, I remember playing them (in the cup?) one season and one of our players went down like he'd been shot in the first 5 minutes..not sure who it was though. |

I remember reading something about Barnett Jnr a few years ago about him working for the RFL as a drugs advisor after he'd served his ban. I think he was one of the few who accepted he'd been an idiot and didn't contest it. He was absolutely rapid back in the day.
