Re: What’s caused the slump?

Seven weeks ago we had just completed a fine hat-trick of wins against Leigh, Saints and Wire and we were sitting almost on top of the super league playing a fine brand of football full of spirit, skill and determination. Since then we have gone down hill rapidly we have had six abject performances...

Re: Wigan vs Saints match thread

First let me get this out of the way Many thanks to tonights referee who gave us SO many penalties in the last 15 minutes when the game was gone.....if you can't tell, I was being sarcastic. Main takeaway from tonight that our forwards are juse too damn small and absolutely monstered all game - unti...

All too true, hopefully his presence helps get more from the other forwards and we improve....

Re: Cats v Wigan

Not all would have played if fit and in my opinion only Copper and Harvard are real misses. We need to stop using injuries as an excuse. Rubbish as much as you dislike a player there has been a clear defensive issue on that right side since Isa got injured. That isn't me saying Isa is some amazing ...

Re: Cats v Wigan

Yes I agree, Firestarter. If we're missing our two best props any other loss is magnified. If Singleton isn't back for the cup match we'll struggle. Wire's performance yesterday did give me some hope but we'll have to avoid any more injuries against saints. I agree to, its the balance of the pack t...

Re: Cats v Wigan

Very disappointing, started well but never in it after we were penalised for obstruction near their line, fragile confidence maybe? Others have said it but seems that the balance of the pack is all wrong. No one player is consistently poor but we badly lack 2 "metre making props", this mea...

Agent Rimmer?
Secret Agent!! On whose side? (One for you Bond Fans)

Seriously, he did damage to RL, is this his payoff? Or our revenge on RU?

Sorry Ted, not a quota player. I thought he did OK v Toulouse (hence they want him) but I was disappointed that he didn't really put himself about I didn't feel we would bring him back on that showing.
