I agree with you on Emmit and Johnson, but not on Dean. He is never going to be anywhere near Gilmour's standard, and will probably carve out a career at the lower end of Super League at best. He's a good earnest player, but not top club standard. As for Ellis, I'm led to believe that he was released due to circumstances entirely of his own making.

To be fair to Saddened, he does not keep his abuse focused on youth players, he has a more shot gun approach that catches all and sundrey.

I would have kept Emmitt if possible, but like has already been said, was the money there to keep him? Perry was a top signing, but has just been injured since basically day 1. LMS again was a good signing. Cloughy was ahead of Emmitt. Surely no one is suggesting TP or Graham should have been thrown out to balance the books?

As for keeping Emmitt over Dixon, Ashurst and Megennis. Well I don't think Megennis had had much game time and Dixon looked pretty good last year.

With Graham, TP Clough , LMS and Perry, that's 5 good props, most season's that would have been a great front row, with 4 in most weeks and 1 for rotation. However maybe the planning last year needed to account for Royce playing 3 props from the start. Which begs the question of who was in charge of recruitment and retention during the transition from Potter to Royce. If Royce needed 5 props every match rather than the standard 4 that most SL clubs run with, then we should have been looking for more Props than 2nd rowers.

Bryn Hargreaves - F***ing Immense

Watching Origin yesterday reminded me of him PWNing Thaiday all game in 2007.

THAT was our biggest mistake. Viva la Brynolution

KAPOW!

Been our best forward this year, my player of the year so far, the injury is a cruel blow and quite ironic in that since Huby did his knee, Emmitt stood up and has been accounted for in every game.

Been utterly fantastic all season, thanks for letting him go



Runs hard, tackles hard and give 110% every game.

What about Jamie Elllis? Looks a good'un every time i've seen him (admittedly in the championship) how come you let him go?

Emmitt is a monster. Absolute warrior. Him & HUby next year will be devastating. Think it was the wakey game in the cup he played on with a broken nose for 70 minutes! EMMMMMMMMITTTTTTTT

There was alleged trouble in that case.

Behavioural problems. Lets just say he's probably mates with the idiot in your avatar.

which one?

Let's just say Ellis knew his way to the line, allegedly.

Anyone else think that Jake's injury was caused deliberately by that To$$er Lima lying on the leg and twisting the knee in the tackle?

Yes. It's a known technique they employ. I've been banging on about it since Maguire infested this country. Lima's such a donkey.

Lima is a donkey but when he knew there was a problem he called for the physio along with Hoffmann straight away. I honestly don't think there was intention
