Thaks Markill, you've done the job - it's started people talking about us and that was whole point (hence my "discuss" bit at the end!)

I happen to agree with you, I think one or two players do need the odd reminder that there is no "comfort zone", and those with the spirit for the fight and the job ahead (let's face, it is Championship or bust this season) will keep scrapping for a place.

If for example, Pete Fairhurst has walked, then perhaps he wasn't the man for the job anyway. If he hasn't and is prepared to tough it out, then every credit to him.

Not sure about Leather's best game being at Skolars, he was one of the main players in the 2nd half against York, think he had a hand in all 3 of Dave Llewellyn's tries.

It's great tough that we have so much to talk about now that's positive, we must do our best to get the message out to the wider public. It'll be interesting to see how many come out tonight.

Now, if we could only get Casey Mayberry a hamstring transplant....

Agree Seagull

What game was the previous post to you watching

McCully poor Well if topping the tackle counts as a poor performance Your right Seagull lots of fans dont watch what goes on in a game
Like i said in an earlier post DEFENCE WINS GAMES

defence wins championships - attack wins games. thats how the cliche goes i thought. anyway, bad penalty counts win neither. if you get ran at you make a lot of tackles. if you give a couple of needless penalties they will keep coming at you - more tackles. i don't recall him making any outstanding one-on-one tackles though.

but this thread is about the dual reg players - who haven't been guilty of weak penalties in the games i've seen. and the defence of walker against swinton was one of the best i've seen. their props even seemed to be targetting him at one point and he rode it all. and then there are the lines he runs in attack too. thats why, if he was available to us, i'd put him straight in in mccully's place. i'm sure MC would too.

So, how did Charnley perform. According to the League Express he was m.o.m. As I said in my previous post he is a very talented and decicated player.

Not sure he was MOM tbh, but he did play pretty well. For 18 the lad's a bit of a beast, certainly hits hard in the tackle but needs to learn that you can't stand up tackle, chest on, every time.

After his early efforts at goal he looked a reasonable place kicker, although for such a big lad he hasn't got too much distance as yet, but that will come with time.

He can certainly break a tackle though, although he did only look really effective in that department once Donny's old school, telly tubby pack started to burn out in the last 20 minutes.

For a kid of 18 though he does show a lot of potential.
