<t>Having been away at the week end, I only caught the game on TV, and have only just been through the reaction on here. For what it's worth, I remain positive for the future, just not the immediate future. Our schools, clubs and junior sections produce enough talent to see us back near the top some...

<t>Let's face it, he's rubbish. I have not given up on DV yet, though, I think he is not in our top 5 problems. I have given up on this season, and Danny Orr, though.<br/> <br/> I was looking through some old tables recently and saw that Leeds had been nearly bottom at the start of Super League. As ...

Sounds like the story he told his missus to me.

There might be something in it. He could do with a mentor to whom he can turn though. He deserves massive credit for the grace he is showing under fire. He got the job through Mike G's illness, and we can all see the calibre of squad he has been given to work with.

<t>wnac - you are too harsh. <br/> <br/> Guisset has played very well since joining us. Far better than we could have hoped. Seu Seu does a job. We are far too small, but that's not Betts' fault. He is not head coach, he does not buy the players, he did not sell Faz, he cannot help Hock and Lockers ...

<t>I just can't see how we can blame Whelan, when he makes sure we have enough money to reach the salary cap each year. I would be very surprised to hear that he has any say in putting the squad together.<br/> <br/> I feel desperately sorry for the lads who try their hearts out each week, like Hanse...

Sadly, yes. They played a good team tonight - a class above our lads, sad to say.

<t>There is no point Wigan having a war chest, when they were already going to spend up to the salary cap. The transfer fee money is irrelevant, as it does not give us an extra penny towards the cap. The only relevant figures for these purposes are Faz's salary and Brian's. <br/> <br/> At the moment...

I think you are being far too harsh about him. He looks to be very skilful to me. I thought he was a hooker, and his size and speed for a hooker his age seem ok to me. I happen to think we look ok for cover in the backs, as Melling and Colbon both look talented.

He would be hard to replace, but he's no use to us injured, and there's no point having a good winger if your pack gets stuffed every week - it's forwards we need.
