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...

London tonight

<t>I would like to stick up for Mark Cannon here. He was actually a big improvement on what went before. He lost a great deal in comparison with Brett K, but so would virtually any player in the history of the game. he had a neat chip and chase. He did more for Wigan than Orr has shown (not that I a...

<t>I have been exiled too long, that's for sure. Never heard that about Hull before. I wasn't meaning to get onto the players' backs, as I think they have all at different times given massive coomitment to the cause. I just have low expectations for this year (as I imagine everyone else does). I did...

<t>Duped by Hull? Not sure I follow that. <br/> <br/> My take on this game is that we went in as second favourites, and under-performed, and so were bound to lose. I was really disappointed with Rads and Orr (orrful), whom we could have expected to come good. Orr was always a risk, coming to a bigge...

<t>I could see us getting anywhere between 0 and 6 points, which I think is a reflection in part on how good the comp is, and also how competitive we can be. I think tonight should be the easiest game, with Bradford away the hardest. Having lost the last 2 times we have been there should concentrate...

He was quite brilliant in his day, and must be ultra-fit (though too lean?). I would be fascinated to see him - it's just a shame what we need are big lads, not skilful whippets (of which we have an abundance).

When I heard Craig was playing for Newcastle, it crossed my mind that maybe, just maybe, he was waiting for the call from Denis to come home, once we have some salary cap money freed up... now that would be nice.

Carney is 4 weeks away (ish), not sure about Moran. If he takes much longer, Moran may find it hard to displace Brown from the halves anyway...
