the bbc's report of huddersfields "upset" by beating a team they kicked out of the play offs last year gave me a good chuckle

Phill Clarke, "Salford to finish in the top 6!"

At times on Sunday I thought Salford looked pretty good. I don't think they really got over the shock of a side like the Crusaders scoring a few tries, their heads dropped and they just fell apart.

Salford could yet make the top 6.

Salford have got some quality players there. I think Daniel Holdsworth will be their top scorer this year.

I do hope the two Sky personalties enjoyed their meals on Sunday night and 'Hooted' their appreaceation

Sure i heard Phil Clarke say "your more dangerous when you have the ball"

Didn't I hear Stevo say that when Danny Brough first joined Hudds, there was a conflict with him and Luke Robinson both wanting to run the game, but that Nathan Brown has now got that sorted?
By having Robinson out injured for the first couple of months, drastic solution.

Clarke also commented on Lamont Bryan running in hard with the ball (something he's done ever since his first game, in fact it's just about all he does) that his game has developed - he wouldn't have had the confidence to do that last season.

Are you suggesting Brown has ordered a Mafia style hit on one of his own players.....

Never heard it myself but my mate told me that in one of the games one of them pointed out that "you should never let a bouncing ball bounce."

i didn't hear that myself but I bet there was money changing hands.

Has anybody mentioned Phil "I love Wigan" Clarke's comments that, according to him, when a player is injuired (like Briers was on Saturday through a neck injuiry & like Matt King has probably snapped his cruicate) apparently they should try to get off the field quicker.

They did
It's consistent with his views that those who get injured are being punished by the rugby gods for things they have done wrong

What's wrong with that? If a ball is bouncing, you should catch it, before it bounces again. You'd be waiting for ages if you arrived at the approximate location of the ball and held out until it stopped bouncing. The other team might pinch it.

But surely if you catch the ball before it bounces it is not a bouncing ball.

Ah that famous ancient Chinese proverb. Deep.

There's another

"Man who gets in argument with Dave Lister will die before he wins"

For me that's up there with Ian Millward's post-match analysis of a Leeds-Bradford match a few years ago when he referred to Nick Scruton as "Nick Scroton". You couldn't see it, but afterwards you could hear the rustle of twenty pound notes being pressed into his hand.

what a silly thing to say... Morley doesn't even kick goals.

Not exactly ludicrous but very amusing nonetheless, A while ago I heard Eddie refer to Matt Diskin as Matt Dikskin.

But if you are unable to catch the ball before it bounces owing to being too far away, what do you do?

Imagine this in a Brian Blessed voice...

DIIIIIVE!!!!!!!!!

GORDONS ALIVE!!!!??????

Stand with one hand on hip, pointing accusingly at team mates with the other?

Maybe you should read all the thread
