He did receive a bit of treatment after the try but if he did break his nose then why on earth did he stay on the pitch until the second half!?! A broken nose not only hurts like hell but it effects your sight and judgement, which I assume is rather important for a fullback!

Jury certainly out on this one, hope we not purchased a dud (again) on huge contract for 3 years????, we have signed a few older players what type of condition will these players be in in 3 years time? Dads army?

I admit I was excited about the signings but now standing back and assessing a short term fix may prove disastrous.

I may add this is SM team now what he has built and that is why his head should role ( 100 other reasons to why it should go)

Guys, seriously wind your fecking necks in on this one! Now I'll admit I've not watched much NRL over the last few years but stats don't lie.

Over 10 years playing in the NRL.
Almost 300 NRL appearances.
Over 100 NRL tries.
Voted clubs POTY on 2 occasions.
Tipped by numerous RL experts to be this seasons best import.

Now I'm more than willing to give LP the benefit of the doubt on this one. He's had a couple of iffy games but he's walked into a side that tbh looks nothing short of a shambles due to blatant mis-coaching and lack of confidence. Even with the mistakes he's shown some classy touches and scored a couple of tries. The last thing he (and DH for that matter) need right now is for the fans to turn on him. LP will come good but only when the team starts to play to it's potential and it looks like it is going to take a new coach for that to happen.

Once McRae is shown the door (and I'm sure it will happen) things will get better. Until then it is up to us, the fans, to get behind every player that walks onto the pitch. If we crucify them all now it doesn't matter if we bring Wayne Bennett in the confidence of the players will be so shot to pieces there'll be no way back.

To coin a phrase...... "Keep the faith"

Worth bringing Sneyd back into the squad MR? Thought he was excellent in the U20's on Fri and with the limited options available I can't see what else we can do.

Agree with you on this. We have seen some sublime touches from LP but some school boy errors too. His record speaks for itself and im convinced he will play a big part in this club's revival and success - which will come!!

Must admit that was my first thought also. Alternatively though Adam Clay could come onto the wing & Ashley Gibson drop back to fullback (where he looked very comfortable against Leigh in December).
