blaming medley is a bit harsh IMO he has worked with and brought through some good players... sam burgess been one of them, i think through no fault of the clubs they have been forced to bring younger players into the first time for injuries and such ... look at the hull game we had whitehead (21), donaldson (19) olbison (20?) Burgess (19) thats alot of young players who are all learning there trade together, i know we have been promised big things from them all but for them all to be thrown in together and expected to set the world on fire is a big ask ??? maybe in 2-3 seasons time they will be the back bone of the squad and we will all be singing there praises week in week out hahh , saints were in the same boat as us against huddersfield and look at the shalacking they got given....

Not really. With us, it's much more like Forrest Gump's chocolates. You never know what you're going to get. Indeed, the fact that we can put up creditable performances, against decent opposition, is what to me makes the regular capitulations worse. it wouldn't be AS bad if I knew they weren't capable of better. But it is only a few short games since good efforts against Leeds and against Catalans. The roll call thus far:

Er... revisit the Wakefield result???

Yes, I'm sure I remember it being a fairly comprehensive 'shellacking'..... for Wakefield

As long as we don't replace em with the ones from the Shay. The seats in the Skircoat Stand a couple of weeks ago were coated in dust and dirt.

Well done, you spotted my deliberate mistake. See, it isn't even as bad as I thought it was! Five shellackings? Pffft - what's that?

In fact, looking at the results as a hole (sorry - "whole"; Freudian slip) things aren't all that bad!
