<t>Sorry to say that our pack were found wanting tonight. The Wires pack made yards for fun and our yardage/completion were pretty poor by comparison. Barrett was quiet but he needs the forwards to make a platform - and they didn't. <br/> <br/> The only player who didn't disappoint for the second we...

<t>Noble expressed a similar view about "sanitising" contact in the game during the pre-match press conference.<br/> <br/> I understand that the officials do miss foul play, and perhaps sometimes, they miss things they shouldn't - but you don't see them missing the things they're obsessing about at ...

<t>He went high into a tackle trying to wrap up the player with both arms and the Bradford guy's head hit him in the mouth. He received a lot of attention including an injection after they scored. At first, I thought he'd broken his jaw or at least cut the inside of his mouth or lost some teeth.<br/...

<t>Agree with most of what's been said - particularly the praise heaped on Hock who showed just what he can do when he's on song.<br/> <br/> Very impressed with the aggression and enthusiasm of our defence, particularly in the second-half. Bradford's failure to make yards effectively killed off thei...

Bailey's in the 20 for the Bradford game and is appealing against his ban today.

I'm as cynical as others on the board about the impartiality of the RFL - let's hope they don't use the appeal as an excuse to extend his ban.

He's been named in the 20 for Bradford.

Fingers crossed he plays.

Bailey got a one-match ban & £300 fine

Hock to start on Sat with Tompkins on bench?

<t>So, the gist of this is Mathers' defence will definitely improve (not a huge claim based on what we've seen so far) and on the other side of the debate we have the view that he might improve, but his one-on-one will never be as good as Radlinksi (not a massive claim either).<br/> <br/> You're bot...

<t>We've seen this dozens of times before. Coach instructs his players to spoil because they know they can't live with the other team - and then play the "hard done to" card when they lose.<br/> <br/> It's a galling tactic particularly for us paying supporters.<br/> <br/> I'm just sorry we did put a...
