Re: Sam Powell, George Williams or Ryan Hampshire

<t>Can anyone give an example of a team that has won the challenge cup or grand final with a 19-21 year old half back? I'm not saying that it can't be done but it is unusual. Odd results when very young/understrength teams beat a 'top' side in a one off league match often result from the fact that t...

Re: St Helens on the prowl?

<t>Waney has been quoted today as saying that Sam Powell, George Williams and Rocky Hampshire are all in the frame to be the long term replacement for Blake Green. I'm sure that he wouldn't have said that if he knew that Rocky had signed for another team for next year. Hopefully Rocky will now get a...

Re: St Helens on the prowl?

With this morning's confirmation that Blake Green is going back to Australia at the end of the season I'd expect (and hope)the club to announce that Rocky has signed an extended contract in the next couple of days.

How do Leeds do it?

<t>Leeds rarely seem to lose their top players or most promising youngsters to other super league teams. The loss of BJB form next year is one of the few examples of them 'getting it wrong' in recent years. Clearly they are a very successful team but there must be something else. How do they make th...

Re: Cas on Friday?

<t>I think it's an important game in terms of out attitude for the rest of the season. There's no point sulking about the cup game and I'm looking forward to a good match with some improvement from us. If Sam Powell isn't fit I see no reason why we shouldn't give Rocky a full game at 6 just to see h...

Re: Are we weak in the front row?

<t>Many of us thought that we'd have a problem at prop this season when it became apparent that Powell was leaving and we didn't sign a suitable replacement. Props invariably get injured/need a break during the season and Burke's long term injury deprived us of a back up prop (still think he's a bac...

Re: Squad for Saturday

<t>With Sam Powell out it looks as though Hampshire will get his chance at stand off. I know that many of us have high hopes of him in this position and this will be a big test. I understand that Waney sees Ryan as a fullback at present but am I the only one who thinks he could have been given a cou...

Re: FOUR SUPER LEAGUE PLAYERS CHARGED

Could somebody clear this up for me please? I didn't think that players were supposed to swear directly at the referee in the first place. Hardaker clearly does this even before he gets to the homophobic bit. Shouldn't he get a ban for insulting the ref anyway?

Difficult decisions for Waney

<t>Seeing today's Cas score is a timely reminder of how tough the Cup game will be on Saturday. Their form in recent weeks is better than ours and we've all been waiting for the return of our injured players. The fact that most of them have been out of action for several weeks must make Waney's sele...

Re: Dudson to Salford

<t>How many of you think that Greenwood would be a better choice than Dudson next season? Dudson isn't much older than Greenwood and both have lots of potential. Greenwood looks a more natural rugby league player at this stage but Dudson has the physical presence to become (he isn't one yet) a top c...
