Hey! There you go, the first with an excuse...

It's the Challenge Cup. No-one gives a flying toss about it until the Quarter Finals at least.

Where is the excuse by Dita? He was playing against Doncaster. Would be a different story if he played halfback and picked up 36 points against the likes of Leeds, Wigan or St Helens.



So you have championed for him to be played at HB, he has, and he scored 36 points. He did it against part time opposition.



If he does it against the creme de la creme of SL, then you may have a case for craving the attention you so desperately wish for.

Every chance that if we had of rested some, they'd be even less bothering to turn up.

No creme on your pie either.

I'm not after attention wire 111.

Just a successful team.

Like you and many others, I was unable to see us being competitive without some extreme action.



There is only two things we can do....One is spend, and morrisseyisawire already hinted that pride may hinder that route.

Or do something radical within our current playing stock...we exhausted all other means of combination at hb except for one inclusion.



All I want is my team to be the best....



I now have a real hope that we can be competing, it wasn't there before today.

Rubber Duckie.While your views are well respected on here it was in my opinion may i state rather foolhardy championing Bridge's cause regarding his performance at hb considering the oppostion.By all means applaud him for his performance but people will only eat humble pie if he does it against the top sides on a regular basis,that is if Smithy gives him game time at that position.

Well that's the custard.

TS has track record for not rewarding form.

Penny was excellent in defence today, two try saving tackles putting the guy in touch and the big hit that was worthy of a prop, that decision was a do or die as well as Donny had a two man overlap and Penny was the last defender when he shot out at him.

Bridge easily mom

Penny 2nd

Hill 3rd (even with limited minutes)



England had a good game too.



Asotasi again...bugger all. I know I sound like a broken record but he really is rank average.

Roy is easily TS worst buy.

Surely the only question has to be would Ratchford and/or Myler have played as well or better than Bridge at half-back today against the opposition in front of them? I'm not convinced they would and at least Bridge doesn't seem lacking in self-belief (admittedly not always a good thing in his case) whereas Myler dissappears up his own back passage as soon as it's shirt sleeves rolled up time.



Whatever you may think of RDs initial suggestion, the merits of it, and the relative success of it today given the opposition, TS obviously still believes Bridge can do a job there or he'd have stuck Currie at stand-off instead.

Can somebody sum up our performance for me please? I went to Leigh v Fev instead. Absolute cracker!

I bet draw ht / leigh ft at 18/1. Very happy.

I also had a small bet on the double with draw ht Bradford ft 40/1.



Frigging close to busting the bookies! Only a conversion off!
