The game is on its knees. Shocking RFL directive. Rules that worsen the game every year.

Patheric Disciplinary panels that punish marginal late hits, as harshly as grabbing someones testicle!!

They want the games speeded up so players c are more tired. Then we get a Crap standard, and tired players mistiming tackles. We then have games ruined by sendings off, when no-one has even been injured. Then long bands for some of the only players who bring some excitement. (reverernce to Tetevano incicident in CC here)

Can't we go back to a tough, simple game?

Great 2 sentences.

The players are there unfortunately the coaching and tactics are not up to it.

How can a player like Austin be great up to getting injured in his first season, we bring Widdop in to complement him and his form falls off the cliff. I keep on hoping but am now coming to the conclusion he can’t wait to get back home.

As much as this is true, is it [ipurely[/i down to lack of attacking raw talent or is it also being coached out of players too? We seem to be capable of producing plenty of strong defenders and some very classic powerhouse forwards, but I'm struggling to think of backs (especially halfbacks) who can put on a little bit of magic... it's all very formulaic. Take Jonny Lomax for example: Very good, consistent player and considered one our best internationals. He just lacks those extra special moments of class that make you stand up and applaud.



Well I guess nothings going to change anytime soon, so not worth worrying about.

On a separate note - and I'm not sure whether this is of concern - the players didn't seem to celebrate Mamo's last gasp score with much enthusiasm. This is in contrast to Hull who acted like Tuimavave had won them the game on 70 minutes. The reason I mention this is because I've not noticed us [iseeming[/i a bit disinterested the last couple of years. Even when we've not been at our best there's always been a bit of over-egged back slapping when we score a try. This wasn't evident today.



Meh. Probably nothing in it.

What channel was it on?

Where is the logic on moving Charnley to the left? The only thing I can think is that Price thought to move his next best winger to the stronger side of the field and write off the right.



If that’s the case, what is the point in picking backs on the right. Might as well sure it up with a good kick receiver and put a back rower on the centres to give some go forward.



Ironic that the last picks on the school playground scored the try that took us to golden point.

I agree with easyWire when Mamo scored with seconds to go I expected our players to be huggng Mamo and jumping up and down all over the place.I was amazed it just didn't happen,very strange.

We are getting somewhere.

Can’t all be sheep can we?



We have the same win percentage as Hull KR, if you’re happy with that then I can’t help you.

Smiffy, I wouldn't want to feed him, never mind wrestle him.

They're not allowed, it's being restricted again

Lane, Cator, Taylor, Bowden, Brown, Houghton, Fash, Mcnamara ,



our gang are just to flipping cheap, I don’t know we’re we recruited them from.

Well Taylor you got from wigan
