That team is a joke.









Why would you pick Sykes?!?!?

There is so little to play for, and quite candidly the way they are playing, points for wins will be very scarce. Surely the time has arrived when a few of the youngsters can be given a decent trial, and not the usual four minutes. Already Saints are giving try outs to reserves for half back places, and I note Wigan were not disgraced when they did a similar thing earlier in the season. I don't think anyone is proposing a large number of the youngsters playing, but surely now is the time to see test what appears to be the most promising of them a chance to show just what they can do.

Morrison in his blog certainly agrees

And precisely what I posted last week.

You lot are so behind

The play-offs are only a mathmatical possiblity now. We'd need the team to actually learn how to play RL at a proffessional level to have any chance of even getting close

If we make the play-offs we'd have to be one of the favourites to win it, as we'd go in with a massive winning run, ie every match from now to the end of the season. So we'd have some how learned to get rid of all the mistakes that we make to throw away matches we could win.

And we know our players only turn up if they are playing Leeds or Saints.

He has a point!

But a point which kind of contradicts itself.

If it only turns up when playing Leeds or Saints, we can't win the rest of our games.

It was only a matter of time before someone else spotted that...

The ones in bold don't even train full time.

We`ve got one player who doesn`t train at all doesn`t stop him from getting on the pitch.

And a whole lot more who train very well but do nowt on the pitch.

I think part of your problem with youngsters is that wnem Mcnarmara does have them on the bench he only lets them play the last ten minutes or so so effectivley you have a team of only 16?

It's good for their development, letting them have 4 mins, that is.

Ten minutes?!?!?

Let's not get carried away. That would be a bit much for them apparently.

Looks like we might be getting some of what we asked for;

[iHe admitted: “There will be some changes to the side.

“That’s because of both the performances of some individuals in our lower grades but also the performances of some of our players in the first grade. It’s a double-edged sword."

"“We needed to go with a group we thought could get the job done (against Hull KR). Unfortunately, they never did so we will make these changes.” [/i

[iAnd with one eye on next season, McNamara could now be tempted to give each (Whitehead and Donaldson)a longer run in his Super League plans. [/i

Lets see what happens then, good news if you ask me. Got to start looking to these lads playing more next season, so they might as well be blooded now.

Yep, it's certainly a justified move

Hmm. Looks like Steve reads my posts

Who is that?

Menzies?

I've no idea. That's why I asked.



I would have thought it was unlikely it was Menzies. But I know nowt.

I know he doesn't train as much as the others, but then again he's the other side of 30.

The right side of 30 you mean.

Wrong?
