Disagree thought Carlos was average on Friday and was easily beaten by Williams for the 1st Wigan try (as he wasn't set properly). He did grow into the game and finished well, but overall I thought he didn't do enough to warrant being called up ahead of Abdull. However we got he result and that's what mattered. Think the real problem though is that he has picked up a few injuries that has prevented him getting an extended run in the team, thus not allowing him to build up a understanding/partnership with Sneyd.

Cheers, didn't realise it had missed goal attempts on there

What about playing Connor at 6?

Shaul
Lancaster
Fonua
CT
Talanoa
Connor
Sneyd

Yes I am still banging the Lancaster drum.

Certainly a lot of competition in the back 6 next year (Sneyd being the guarantee).

Naughton, Shaul, Connor, Griffin, Yeaman?, Tala, Fonua, Michaels?, Lancaster, Logan, Abdull, HTW, Tuimavave.

Not sure what Connor's half back experience is, but his aggression could be a good foil for Sneyd's guile.

We were talking of making a really long banner, like a hundred metres long, that said Sneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed! I checked the Wembley website and largest banner you are allowed is 2.5 metres. I don't think that would be as impressive. Sne!

then you simply have

Sne-eee-eee-eee-eee-[etc]-eyd

Could have 15 metres if you've got 5 pals.

didn't he play 6 against us and their place a few weeks back?

On Sneyd, his in-play kicking is absolutely superb, has it on a string on a bad day. Even when he looked poor kicking it straight into Tomkins arms on Friday, he'd clearly just clocked on that the rat boy didn't want it at all. As for CT, I think he was only meant to be a back up 6 and he's more a natural fullback or centre.

I honestly believe Carlos will come good at 6 given enough game time, injury free. The team always looks solid and well balanced when hes at 6 imo

Lancaster's defence needs work.

If he plays like he has for this season for he rest of his time at the club (which hopefully will be until he retires) then he really could become our Sinfield. Was mentioned that his goal kicking is up there with Sinfield's in the respect that it almost guarantees making every try worth 6 points.

In addition, his game management, clever kicking game and tactical edge has put us where we are this season. He's the sort of player you build a club, a game plan and a squad around. A la Sinfield.

I sense a 'Wembley banners and flags' thread is needed!
