Yep, it was from his own half and he looked quick. It was a really good try actually, I can see it in my head.

Higham, I dunno. He is what he is, is passing is innacurate, he doesn't/can't/won't kick from DH, but he tackles pretty well, he runs in straight lines and doesn't overcomplicate things I guess.

I think half the problem these two have is the bloke they come on to replace, he's doing things that beggar belief at times with ball in hand and defends as well as any forward I've ever seen. They must feel like the ugly bloke to the good looking mate.

I remember the try against Catalan, it was a very good try indeed! It was a case of determination with a capital 'D'! But you know me mate, protocol etc ...

As for replacing Mona's, it really is an unenviable task I agree. And one which neither of them are honestly upto. Mona's just sets a standard that can't be maintained on the vast majority of occasions. James Roby aside, there is no other hooker in the league who could continue a similar influence/impact from the bench.

Robinson?

Better than his effort at Wakefield in 2007?

Not a million miles off but still not in Mona's league in my opinion.

I know Im gonna get my head bitten off for this but (taking deep breath as I type!)
Against Wakey start with Clarke and have monnason the bench, to come on as impact.

The way wakey have been playing I'm happy for TS to borrow my dog to go in the pack!!!!!

Nah - start with Monas who will rip them to spreds. At half time take monas off who can put his feet up @ the bar & let Clarke have a run out

I've been impressed watching the young hooker at Cas, he's called Clarke, I think he's only 18.

Looks a terrific player, he's got great ability and just oozes potential.

I've not laughed that hard in awhile

According to the back of todays Guardian, Smithy reckons Higham deserved to get a ban.

See, even Smith doesn't like him!
