If our forwards, halves and hookers (or stand in hookers) play like they did tonight then you could throw Mal Menninga and Gene Miles at us and it wouldn't matter.
I agree considering both must now be in their 40's :wink:

We could make a bid for Cameron Phelps, he's not getting in the Wigan team.






Oh, and do I really need to add......................... :wink:

I agree mate having burrow back gives mcguire and sinny a lot more scope to impose themselve's more and is the "The golden triangle" imo especially when we play without a recognised 9.

yeah he got the leeds MOM post game i believe. great night out in the 2nd row and more games he needs there. Such good work rate.


G1 wrote:Why so touchy and aggressive.
BTW, Internet Warrior,
if you're going to get personal and aggressive best not to do so with someone who knows you were sat in Section B, row H of the North Stand tonight.

I'll give you a chance to call me muppet to my face next time your kid takes you to the match. Then he can carry you home.


pot kettle black.

haha call people feckwitts/muppets and morons but not take it??? know your type. take your word on the seat number not sure at all. If you knew who I was you should have said hi instead of waiting to till hometime on the internet before saying hi.

ps. cheap seats their boss!!! prefer the ones closer to half way.






Hold up homie. If you're feeling froggy, Jump!

I am closer to half way.

I'd no real desire to speak to you in person but I'll make sure i say hi next time, don't worry about that.

I don't recall ever calling you a fekkwitt because I don't recall you ever behaving like a fekkwitt before tonight. We've disagreed on issues before but I reckon my post had you lost for words so I'll take the moron response as a compliment and a victory for me.

yay.

He did deserve his MOM and it does indeed show what the fekkwitts on here know.

Except I didn't miss him out because he didn't start in the threequarters.

I'd never be that sloppy but you make a good point nonetheless.

Not for the tiniest of split seconds.

G1 wrote:If this mystery signing we must make doesn;t come from the NRL where will he come from then?


From another SL club but more likely to come from the NRL being the cheaper option for a short term fix.

G1 wrote:Gibson and Watkins will most likely face their sternest test next week against a Saints threequarter line with at least 3 of their players fro their Academy.

If our forwards, halves and hookers (or stand in hookers) play like they did tonight then you could throw Mal Menninga and Gene Miles at us and it wouldn't matter.


Perhaps it's my changed view on life recently or maybe it's the time of season and it's always been like this but I'm finding SL truly uninspiring at the moment. It's probably just me though.

I think the game is changing. The big change being no relegation. Teams dont have to worry about winning every match and spend time developing rising stars. Yes they make more mistakes but you can also give them to get more game time to develop their skills.

Because I reckon anyone half decent can play hooker these days to a decent standard. Roby is considered one of the best hookers in the league but all he is really is a failed half back who's quick out of dummy half. Same goes for Scott Moore, Craig Wing, Ryan Hudson, Mick Monaghan (in his Manly days) New Zealand won a world cup with Thomas Lulueai (sp) playing hooker, and they even won a Tri-Nations with Motu Tony at hooker.

At least he'd lose his virginity.
