Even that was a gift from the officials. I'd have been very upset if it had been given against us. Never a try. Nil would have flattered us.

Thought Shaul looked a great prospect when he burst onto the scene. Looks complete Shatpank now.

Different eyes, different views.

I thought Shaul looked their most dangerous player, particularly in broken field, the kid's got pace to burn.

On Houghton, he doesn't really seem to have become the player he should have/could have been. I still think he's a threat, but three or four years ago he looked like he could be top drawer but he seems to have stagnated, can't see it happening but I think he needs a change of club. Not to us though. He hasn't got any hair, therefore, rubbish.

We have a recent tradition of god-like baldies though. Vella, Weyman and now TC. We only have room for 1 at a time though.

Then there were the 3 gilt edged try opportunities we bombed by 3 of our "smart" players, Kelly, Lunt and Goulding. Danny Houghton doesn't have exclusivity on dumb play options in SL.

We have just created space within the slaphead cap for Tilse, who looks a bit follically challenged to me. We also have room for another ginger now that Carlile has gone, so Goose will be ecstatic.

And there, Sandra, you have summarised one of our main underlying problems. It's not just Houghton.

Even if he had hair it wouldn't be ginger, which would also have to go against him.

I'm off the gingers, I belatedly realised they are evil and should be put to the ducking stool test.

We have a severe lack of good hair players though, can't think of one and McCarthy's beard annoys me to my marrow.

I haven't seen any good hair prospects in the nineteens.

We're potentially on our knees.

Ha ha, Priceless!
Why doesn't the water carrier sneak up to McCarthy with a hidden pair of scissors and give his beard a quick snip when he's taking a glug?
Mind you Charnleys hairstyle catalogue leaves a bit to be desired and Joe Philbins barnet at Warrington is tailor made to add a parrot to complete the look.
