Ian and Liam Botham, not brothers but damn good blood coming from their family. The classic Sculthorpe brothers of course, any more? Horne brothers perhaps?
And the best of the lot the Chuckle Brothers.

Moran is not a bad signing at all. He has done what any other good player does when they get to Wigan, they've discovered the boring tactics. What can a good player do in a team that won't allow change? All the players can do is play by the rules, the rules the club give and the rules of rugby league. You know what Moran did against us with London, London are not a good team I don't care what anyone says, and he was always going to stand out as their best player but he still single handedly beat us at their ground. He has a lot going for him but just not with our current management. We haven't changed the way we play in years, everyone knows how we play.

Well for that reason I do.

We are guilty of playing boring rugby at times, I think this is trying to change but just not coming off but there have been games this season where I've known what's going to happen. We are now trying to pass the ball out more but it's not working because we're not even looking where the balls going to. I suppose they cant win, I want them to be more creative but when they are and it doesnt work I'm upset by it!

So far this season there have been far too many passes and off loads to nowhere and sometimes in our own half.

The team seem to have two modes of operation. Five drives and a kick or panic stations passing it to no one.

The poor decision making which results in the bad passing/offloads is something Betts should sort out.

Out attack is also too flat and that does not help. Players are taking passes standing still. This could be put down to lacking go forward but now we have four props in the team we haven't got that excuse.

It points to Betts not having a plan B.

Brother in law too - Farrell and O'Loughlin!

I think that it's good that Perpignan are signing decent players like Stacey Jones, it'll give them some experience for their younger player to learn from. I'd like to see them get a few top names and let some young French blood learn from them. I also hope they get the bugetting right and have allowed a lot of contingency money!

just found out plays for canberra raiders and is a second rower, and genetics can't be that good because he can't get in the australian side so he thinks he can get in great britian side, just goes to show you what the aussie think of our side.
Ian Hindmarsh is the older brother of Nathan. He used to play at Parra with his brother until they let him go due to salary cap restrictions. Plays for Canberra at the moment. He is an extremely underrated player. He is one of those players who appears to be very quiet but when you actually go back and watch him he has a part in everything and you really really notice when he's not there. Awesome in defence.

Also i think you'll find that him thinking he might make the GB side over the Australian squad is not an insult to your game. Firstly the Australian selectors don't select on form they select on what your last name is. If you're not one of their favourites then you have no chance. Secondly Ian pledged his allegiance to GB a number of years ago and played for Scotland in the last World Cup, so i think he would rather play for GB than Australia.

His decision to move was based on money (he does have a family to support), Canberra not being able to keep him, wanting to travel Europe with his wife during the off-season (something which playing in France allows him to do) and his desire to play for Great Britain.
We'll miss you Freshy!!! Please come back!
