Proved his worth as a squad player at least, even if he is some years past his peak.

Good on him, I say.

I notice his biggest critic on here has nothing to say for a change.

have you assaulted anyone yet (as you promised) while you eat that pie

After this weekend I've been in more of a lover than a fighter mood tbh.

match-winning try tonight.

Everyone grab a slice (but make sure you save Bonaire his half):

just enjoying another piece regarding kirk, I thought he was finished,

In the words of Cher "If I could turn back time"

Wasn't there tonight, but sounds like he's more than played his part again. I still maintain that when Pryce is back I would leave Yeaman out for Carlos, but he will get plenty more game time this year. It shows the depth of talent in the squad. He'd be a nailed on starter for a lot of clubs.

Not just kirk
Sneyd been slaughtered at times last year and this
Houghton same. All been unreal this easter period

The point is that in order for the team to win as they have done in the last 4 games then the players who are out there playing need to play well. If they don't play so well then the team lose and the criticism will be evident - and justified in my opinion. If players are playing poorly then they will receive criticism - it's their job to put it right.

What I like about us this year is that we have better players - particularly in the pack - and we have fight and respect for the shirt. Except for the Widnes debacle we have been very competitive and the players deserve credit as a team for that. So do the coaching staff who, far more than the players, cop the majority of the wrath spouted by some when often in the past it's the players that have let everyone down. Other than Widnes this year we haven't been let down - one of the main reasons being that our players are better.
