Back to Pritchard. Thought he wasn't 100% fit but was fairly solid. As Taylor, Houghton, Watts, Mini, Manu, Ellis and Green were exceptional it made the Tank look worse than he probably was in comparism.

Gets more and more strapping on his knee every game, obviously a problem at the moment

If you attended games you'd probably get more of a feel for fonua's influence. He makes mistakes and isn't always great defensively but he is massive going forward

Spot on. He always seems to be in the right place at the right time and makes very few mistakes. I was dubious about his signing to say the least but he's been a cracking addition to the squad.

Minichello's intensity does not drop off.

I was waiting for someone to come out with the "attend games" crap,I was attending games until very severe personal problems stopped me from attending games but I still watched the team on to and saw highlights,I admit highlights not a good judge...he may be strong going forward with a good offload but he is weak defenceively and reads the plays wrong,now if we are attending to this then fine but it is a concern

Think that was me, start of the season I thought it was more diamonds recently he has been great, I think his defence is improving also.

We have had a centre like him in years that can break the line and also get his winger away, only 23, getting rid of him would be madness.

Washbrook offers far more when he comes on,he is used as another pivot seeing he is a natural 13,which allows wwhicher 2nd rower starting at 13 to move to 2nd row and make us more of a threat,his defence is 2nd to none and has far more use to the team than Thompson.He will have to go some to get in the team for Wembley as barring injuries,the bench should be Bowden,Green,Frank!Washbrook.

Was you Dave and we had a good discussion about him and his defence is still a concern IMO as teams have started targeting him and that side.I hope Yeaman is talking to him in training as he was superb in defence on Friday nite

100% agree with you Jake...

Regarding Fonua, His attacking display against KR was the best centre performance,I've seen in a FC shirt for a long time, his offloads to Michaels were sensational...

Would rather see him at left centre, less defensive traffic coming his way, and IF he had Frank
outside of him, they would be a massive threat against any team...-IMO

Our rights been targeted for ages. Long before Fonua got here. And we conceded more there this season when he was out. Plus given how good yeaman is it probably influences teams to go more to the right. It's also most teams most natural attacking edge

Yes it does. there have been plenty of games when he's been out on his feet at the end of the game

chomp, knew I'd get you with that one

Are you guessing about the pitch size to suit your criticism of Pritchard?
