If i was being sarcastic i'd have put Wire in there

The two teams you have beaten are now playing some of the best rugby in the comp. If Hull played them now they'd wipe the floor with you.

Agree about Leeds though.

That's kind of my point: things change. Not long ago, people were saying how poor Cats and Huddersfield were and yet now those same people might consider them top-four contenders. In three games time ( ) the whole table could be completely different.

Think i am right in thinking we are one of the few teams who has a 3rd prop at LF. This means we need more interchanges as a conventional loose forward stays on for a full game ie sinfield. This means we could spell our second rowers (finally) and we will have 3 ball players on the park giving us more options in attack.

personally would have washbrook at 13 and have whiting at right centre if it was up 2 me

As we dont seem to use our full 12 thats obviously not the thinking of our coach.

have noticed this too. wat is the reasoning 4 this?

we have 12 interchanges so we should use them in order to keep players as fresh as possible

some of our players look fooked and we are not giving them a break

Fair point.

But in all honesty is was expecting big things from Huddersfield and Les Cats anyway and after a faltering start they are now delivering. They have quality all over the park and are the nearest thing on paper to Leeds and Saints. Both have had changes of coach but now their players appear to be warming to them.

I don't think Rovers or Hull have anything like that same quality of player, or coach for that matter. But like you say time will tell.

Seeing as you mention "on paper" and there's been a lot of discussion recently about quality coaches, what about Warrington's chances? There are a lot of games left.

I suppose 'on paper' they have decent side, but they have had a decent side on paper for number of years and have always disappointed. So on that basis even allowing for Tony Smith i am writing their chances off.

Looking and how teams are playing I think its wide open for any of the current top 8 to cement a place in the top four. Should Luauki and Crocker get the nod would fancy us to improve and have a good go at it.

Maloney had a very good debut, he ran hard and direct. Thought King did well in his short spell also. Calderwood, G.Horne & Washy also put in good performances.
