Physical fatigue is no excuse for second bites of the cherry/deliberately sticking an arm out betc. It's how rugby league has being coached for far too long (and refs letting it go for far too long). Some players just can't help themselves, Watts IS a prime example and he and the rest of the forwards need it drumming into them about stupid/cheap penalties at the ptb, Especially in the latter stages in close matches.
We need JA, Sneyd couldn't kick a 40/20 if he tried, it's incredible that we didn't kick one all last season, with JA boot we need to be trying it more often and.not just on the 5th.

I would really hope that some players are on a warning of a dropping unless they cut this out.

If JA comes in and does well, I would hope that it is then his place to lose, Pryce fit or not

Has abdul lost any weight? His speed, mobility and endurance was seriously compromised last year. I can see widnes really exposing him badly for his lack of pace

You can tell which fans didn't go to the Wigan game, I thought Logan was very good defensively and kept Sarginson (A much more experienced international centre quiet)

Altough not hit the heights on his attacking performance, there is no way Micheals should be at centre in front of him, it such a negative move and backwards thinking. There is no doubt that Micheals is more reliable, but for a team that has lacked some X factor for so long, you shouldn't be dropping a much better attacking player in Logan for a steady player like Micheals. Logan despite less carries has made twice as many tackle busts and 4-1 on clean break against Micheals.

If we had a really good experienced centre waiting to come in, then I would consider it, but Logan is still miles ahead of any of the backup centres we have.

Possibly naive - winning breeds CONFIDENCE. They must have it and we must be starting to have niggling doubts. That's why the totally impartial bookies have them as favourites. Bookies don't involve emotion. Let's hope they're wrong. Personally I am nervous and fear them winning by 12

Good call from Radford to bring in Abdul. We have to leave Carlos and Talanoa together. Fonua must be close to coming back, looking at 3/4s Fonua in for Logan. Defensively okish but doesn't fill me with confidence and hasn't done a great deal in attack.

Bobon this imo . Exactly what I thought. 27 tackles means he was targeted massively. Farrell and charnley going at him as well. The misses this year smack of combos not yet fully in tune rather than poor 1 on 1 misses. These should tidy up. Must tries are really out wide which means they arnt going through. Few tweaks we should get it tuned in a bit and make it harder

Hi, I posted this the other week when Bradford played Swinton at our place.

The road works are between the roundabout by McDonalds and the bridge for those that know the area, not too bad coming from your direction, best way to avoid all the roadworks is:

Come off at J7 on the M62,
Take the first exit sign posted A57 Warrington,
Turn right at the first set of lights, follow the road to the end,
Turn right at those lights then first exit at the roundabout takes you onto Birchfield Road, (where the train station is),
As you pass Wade Deacon school on your right take the next right, Highfield Road,
Straight through the lights by the Albion pub and you're there.

Hope that helps and have a safe journey.

Does Abdul play for Hul FC ?

Looking forward to the game we need to play mistake free and see what advantages that might give us over previous weeks.

We should also expect widnes yo come out the starting blocks quickly, hold them out for twenty minutes and we could take the game

Looks like Sa is injured again

Mistake free isn't going to happen but we can certainly cut the cheap penalties that have being so damaging and just as importantly improving our defensive effort with respect to not getting pushed off so easily

Shirt out for after tea. Sky remote at the ready .COYH

any news on Frank?
