I agree O'neill should not have been released and Furner being released was also a mistake , if leeds can afford him why could we not he has played some brilliant rugby at Leeds and will probably do even better against us.

It depends why he went. If it was for disciplinary reasons then no we didn't make a mistake no matter how well he plays for Widnes.

If it was for continued problems with the salary cap then surely we would have got rid of Ainscough first, so I reckon it must have been down to a falling out between him and the club so we were right to let him go.

The big question is should he be replaced by another experienced player? Well if there ar enone available we can't do that and I don't think there are any available worth signing. My head says yes we do need to get hold of an experienced player, but my heart says give the kids a chance after the way they played v Saints.

Never argue with an idiot. He will bring you down to his level and beat you with experience.
