<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.

He seems bound to go to me. What would be lovely would be to have some good performances from him in the meantime.

That sounds much more like it to me, as long as key players are fit. My slight preference would be for Brown and Colbon, but Aspinwall does at least generally manage to get in people's way quite effectively. If only we had a coupld of more big lads we could be a competitive side...

At the time, Moran and DV for Robinson and Hodgson seemed sensible, and may still do so. Mo was the only person in thne world who thought we should get rid of Craig Smith.

<t>Our boys can do anything on the night! We will be second favourites though, as Leeds look ominously good. My worry is that they play like they did against London - use their big forwards to take the steam out of us...<br/> <br/> Terry N is worth a few extra points for us, as is being at home. Com...
