Don't be to sure about Farrell having a ban we have seen how that one works only to well it will certainly be interesting and the 3 wins one the bounce will see us go into the game with a massive confidance. I just hope we get a decent ref (cough) who will be fair.

This is a really tricky one and it's what makes and breaks coaches.



BJB has done some good and some bad things and certainly look nowhere near as good as Johnstone. Normally not enough bad stuff from BJB to drop him - but - look at his competition!



Hall looks more composed this year than BJB



Tupou is a very good winger IMHO



Richard Owen was the best back at the club until his injury.



Then there is Anthony Tupou, how long do you leave one of the finest S/R's in SL and an NRL star oot of the team. Adrenilin will take you so far but there is no substitute for class and this lad looked good when we were bad! So who do you drop. no one. What you do is rotate and you make sure that the players know the reasons. For me I'd rotate Kirmond, because after naerly two years hardly playing 3 games in seven days is a lot, nothing to do with his performances which have been excellent. The others are Molloy or Sio but frankly both would be harsh and less justified.



I'm all for the settled team idea but some freshening up is often required and we can't be to emotional about it.



These are serious options and it's a big call for Chester, glad it's not me.

Jowitt looked like he was struggling with his back and Ashurst took a bad knock to the ribs so I'd rotate them with Hall and Tupou respectively if they haven't recovered. Hopefully Anderson is back as thought needed another front row on bench in stead of Walton. If BJB had intercepted that pass deep in our own half he'd have gone the full length of the field and scored.. He also stopped that Sau try in the corner so think he should stay on the wing.

It wouldn't surprise me if Scott Moore was summoned for what looked like a possible biting incident. You know what the RFL are like if they can find a way to screw us over they will.

Where you got that from?



Not saying your wrong but biting normally gets headline news, I can't find anything?

You would only see it if you recorded the match and watched the replay, Disney cat has a valid point although it will be difficult to prove intent, but the way that BMM was annoyed with Moore and pushed him to the ground he certainly thought so.

Stuart Cummings created that fantasy as justification for Murdoch-Masila retaliating; it looked to me that Moore tried to milk a penalty by locking his leg in during a tackle, and Masila was trying to disengage to avoid being penalised.



Serious allegation from a commentator.

The Wigin game is winnable for definite.

Big John McCarthy may need to ref it though.

God knows who will be fit for the CC the week after.

I didnt see antything either at the game and watching it back at home.

It looked suspicious on the Sky coverage. I think overall it was inconclusive though so too difficult to prove. If it is true then I lose a bit of respect for Moore as I think biting is a horrible thing to do.



As for BJB, I thought his defence was excellent on Saturday and certainly helped us win the game. I've been disappointed with his attack this year and thought he could offer more. I think Hall offers more in attack but is more suspect in defence. Against a title contender side like Wigan then I think defence is paramount so I'd probably stick with BJB for now. Play Hall in the CC.

I agree - that's two games now that BJB has won us with stout defence; let's not forget that it was his monstering of a Leeds player that set up Craig Hall's full length effort.



I'd still like to see him more involved in attacking moves, but who knew that he was a big hitter in defence?!
