A tad harsh on Smith IMO. First opportunity this year in centre and was playing when clearly not fit.

While I am not one for spurting man juice all over him, you are the complete opposite with smith. He could win man of the match in a grand final and you would still call it average

Typo corrected.

Thanks anyway, but was deliberate mistake relating to a Long, Long, Long, Long, Long smith threat we had a while ago.

No the MoM in the GF was a good performance and well deserved! That is not, nor has never been, my point.

I just think that he, in general, is average. Being average doesn't mean that he can't have occasional stand out, excellent performances, which he has clearly had and top marks to him for it. My golf would be described as average, but I once got round in par!



Anyway, let's please not get into that again.

Was it covered in his warts an all autobiography.

I know I remember from last time



By the way if you once got round in par, unless it was pitch and put you would not be average

I know but I guess BB doesn't want to boast cos he knows it won't last!!

He's only 3 games in.

Just shows his weight in the team as the form prop of Super League.

I won't boast about stats end of. I can do a little better than that.

He has been excellent in his opening few games, he will still be getting match sharp and fit. As TMFMISL said, he wants to come back stronger. God knows what power house we will be ripping up Super League.

Let's hope he can inspire your man, Ben Brain Dead 100 pro games Cross, to greater things.

He has been good so far and well done to him but as you say he has only played 3 times. I know he will put in the tackles but can he keep up the go forward with 7m+ per carries?

I wish. He will still have to catch Mr Graham and Mr Lynch & co who are once again up on the leader board. But now may be your best time to dream.

Regarding his weight, he looks as though he could do with a visit to his local steakhouse.

Trust you to try and play it down.



That's better. Not over-stating his value to the comp in the slightest.

Huddersfield's first win at Headingley in over 50 years tomorrow.

It's going to be one of those "I was there moments"

He does look a tad light weight. Particulary in the legs, but its not effected his performances on the field. and he has never been the biggest prop in terms of weight. He looked his lightest when he won his GB cap IMO?

Good to see Mick Gledhill finally decided to come and watch a decent game.

I need an extra ticket for tomorrow, can you still buy tickets on the gate or do you need to ring the ticket office and collect?

Not great news, but didnt think that it would be overturned TBH

It doesn't pay to lie to the disciplinary.

No Smith, no Ablett...wonder if we'll see Wilson given his opportunity at right centre ?

Can't really think of anybody else who can adequately cover the position

(Delaney of course will be in the second row. Senior will be ideally "rested" before his imminent move into the second row too)

If Senior must play tomorrow, then ....

RW: Wilson
RC: Senior
LC: Watkins
LW: Hall

I would quite happy to see the line up above.

I'd like to see Delaney play at centre. We all know he has the attributes to play SR but he has only played one game (well half a game) in that position.

I don't want to be accused of blocking the pathway of a young British player but I also don't want to hand Wilson a senior debut against arguably the form team of the competition.

I can see the logic behind the above point. suppose depends on SR options avalable as well. But hopefully is Wilson was to play on the wing shouldnt be too exposed.

Wilson playing for U20s tomorrow, squad is how I said earlier.

ooooOOOOOOooooooo.... get her
