Oh, ok.

In Smith we trust



Cant believe some people are questioning his decisions already.

Let the guy get on with his (massive) job.

Thanks. Looks like you have as many young second rowers as we do!

It's a good move not playing Penny. If they lined Tadulala up against him he would get ripped to shreds in 1 on 1 tackles. Sometimes you have to play the right team for the opposition and not what could be considered your best team.

I've been dropped a few times if a team has really big powerful wingers. Penny shouldn't be disappointed. Smith is also still trying out different teams to see which one he might stick with on a regular basis.

They wouldn't, he plays from the left. (Tadulala), if for some crazy reason they did switch him, we could just as easily do the same, so it's a null point really.

For me, right now, simple as, I can't see where our next try is coming from to be honest, but the one lad we have who at least gives you other options is Penny. Now, whether you utilise that properly during the 80 mins is a different point, but he has the capability to run down a kick or make a 60-80m break or whatever. If he doesn't play, we are back to being a side that only look a threat once in the Bradford 20m, which means our go forward will have to be super human, or we'll need to be on the right end of a weighted penalty count.

its gettin borin listening to this crap now, where did u get half of this common knowledge

mOST OF IT HE GETS FROM TETLEY WALKERS..............ooops caps lock..

Agreed.

If we're taking the play the right team for the opposition point of view Penny might as well go to Widnes or something as he'll never get a game as it's never the right time by the looks of it.

Don't get me wrong I really like Chris Riley he tries his heart out but how many mistakes has he made and he still comes back a few weeks later, Penny has done nothing wrong and can't get a look in. God knows what it's gonna do to the lad.

i feel for penny, like jwp said he didnt put a foot wrong against cas, it seems he has to score to keep a place in the team.
Saying that, im happy with riley in the team, hes been playing well for us

For me, it should be Riley & Penny.

Riley had a good game last year up against Tadulala, it was a good battle. Get pace in the backline, give our halves & backs some much needed pace to work with, play to our strengths rather than worrying about theirs.

1. Riley
2. Hicks
3. PJ
4. King
5. Penny

Have a real go at Bradford, under pressure, they've leaked points this year too, fragile confidence wise. Lets be bold and have a go at them.

Its not common knowledge at all. No one that I've spoken to has heard anything about Briers apart from the fact he's carrying a slight injury picked up in training.

So please enlighten those of us that aren't in the know.

Reily put a big hit on him last year i think it was try saver

Sky Sports News ticker says late fitness test on Friday morn for Briers.

www.sportinglife.com/rugbyleague ... ngton.html Vinnie, Briers, Riley in fact...AND Rauhihi not definetily out either.

Start with Clarke at Hooker, and bring Higham on as an impact player to run at the tiring Bradford forwards. Briers to start on the bench and bring him on to vary the attack which has been a bit flat in the last two games. L. Anderson dropped because he is a liability in defence.

Why would you drop Ben Harrison? He has been one of our best players this season

My my, Tony Smith has been busy this week

Corrrect Robbie. It was a try saver and a brilliant tackle. I would not call it a bit hit though. I never really mentioned Riley as, although he is small, he has a good tackling technique most of the time and can deal with bigger stronger players. Penny seems to go high on most players and he does not have the strength to do so.

He should be taught to go low,if tackling front or side on, before his tackling game can improve.

Im willing to bet that if Briers plays Monaghan wont and vice versa.

Somebody quoted the stat that since the harlequins debacle Briers and Monaghan have hardly been on the pitch at the same time, if at all.

I believe that the rumoured bust up between the two happened either pre or post harlequins.

doesn't take a genius to work out why our halfbacks aint firing.

Whilst I am slightly disappointed that Penny is not in the team, it is not surprising IMO.

He wasn't called up last week due to his reserve team form, he was called up to cover injuries. He did okay, but we are still not in a position where we are using him.

Riley is needed at fb IMO, as Hicks has been terrible there, and we have gone with size and strength in the three-quarters, but with more pace than if Vinnie was there.

Pace is a slight issue for us, but we don't move the ball in our own half anyway, so with our current style, this team will do.
