Challenge Cup Winners 2016 (at Wembley) - HULL FC: |

What I don't understand is how Lunt`s tip is only deemed grade A when the one by Carney on Bridge is deemed grade B. Defies logic and consistency.

| Quote: Mars "I've seen quotes referencing what a great leader Cramp-easy is and what a great influence he has on the Rovers team. In fact, I think some of those quotes came from Jamie Peacock (who was a truly great on-field leader).
Having watched his petulant, niggly performance this weekend, I think Ellis showed anyone watching what a true leader is. No petulance, no tantrums, no niggle, just focused, direct aggression, leading from the front and taking his team with him. To me, Taylor's influence is sometimes underestimated in this regard, I think he also possesses those qualities, but from a squad perspective the team fed off Ellis' lead and that, alongside the reintroduction of Mini, Taylor and a game changing cameo from Carlos, won us the game.
Campese is clearly a top drawer player, I am genuinely glad to see him back on the field after all of his injury troubles, but I thought he led his team poorly on Sunday.
As for Lunt, simply no class at all. Decent player, no doubt, but I've no time for him whatsoever.'"
Great post. In particular I like your comment about Taylor's influence that's gone under the radar. Before he signed for us I knew he was a good player but I underestimated just how good he is on and off the field. |

Taylor's like a bulldozer. if ellis can stay fit and we finish the season well he must be in with a shout for MOS. Must be well respected by every player at every club in the game. if a grub like hardaker can win it then it would be fitting for a player of ellis' integrity and standing in the game to win it

Hmmm
On Taylor, something I noticed from watching the game again, after the biff in the first half, he was called out by the ref. He listened to what was said and replied "OK" before heading back to the line and getting on with it.
Contrast that with Blair moaning, like his brother Lionel had lost Give us a Clue, over the same incident and Campo's constant whinging.
Class stuff

To be fair to Campese, sounds like he played the game with some pain in his hamstring. I think I'd probably moan if I'd have been rushed back and playing through an injury. He's out this week because he's 'not being risked'. Ridiculous.

Taylor has been brillant easily our best signing. To think some people thought he would be a downgrade on Micky Paea (who was a good player), Taylor is in a different league though.

The daft thing is, any other game and they wouldn't have played him. In a way, I can see why they've done it. If they'd have got the win it could have been a real confidence booster ahead of their last 8 games. It clearly backfired though, and he's now out for this weekend and they lost the game.

When the most important objective for the season for Rovers is to beat Hull, it's understandable why they'd do it.
I imagine Webster got the call from a pi£4ed up Hudgell the night before, "make sure you play Campese tomorrow James, we've got to beat the Dullers tomorrow, you know how important it us to us all here James". |

I can understand their desire to beat us, I feel the same animosity towards them.
Just makes me laugh that they've potentially thrown away any chance they had of getting in the 8 by risking one of their best players for a game against us, when an extra week off could have seen him finish the season. |

On the secret forum, a certain poster has suggested there players have a Kitty set up and pay out to whoever gets taylor to "leave the field on a stretcher". This is apparently due to his "vicious premeditated assault" on Minns.
I'll just leave that here. But anyone who fancies a gander, its under the title "cheating thug taylor"

Was it RBA? Said the best we could hope for this year would be pinching 8th spot off Rovers, so similar level of balance. |
