I said when we first signed him we have pulled off a massive coup! People still wanted too slate him I think today showed he has he's heart set and he's head on and he was head and shoulders abouve Westwood and Simms!! On another note we really really need too recruit strongly in the pack! We were beat up the middle today! I know everybody loves moi moi but he's not upto it for me! Hoppy was strong today and so was Greg worthington glad I was wrong about dropping him!

Hock was great last week too. Today he was immense. He's looking like our main forward threat suddenly.

Don't want too be too downbeat after that performance I'm buzzing and makes me think we will be in super league next year! But out of that pack we can only look at taking forward hoppy hock Beswick higham Dixon golden. Heard the rumour about Hansen and Patterson that would be superb! Couple of big nasty props wouldn't go amiss too!!! Proud of all the boys today they all put a shift in!!!

Definitely can't rule out Emmitt. Puts in some unreal shifts.

Agreed. A bit disappointed in fui today tho.

Hill & Sims were the boss props today with Hock not too far behind, Moi Moi was disappointing today perhaps he is a Championship player. Despite some classy movement from the backs, Beswick was my MOM.

Cornt argue with that.

Nowt wrong with the forwards today.

Hock had another good game, all the forwards tired for both clubs and (it was a hot day and fairly fast flowing game!).
FFM dropped the odd ball but also took 3 defenders with him as usual on each run.
Let's not forget who we played and the wealth and quality of players Wire have and can atttact!

Where does that leave Sam?

You were pleased with hock today? That's a bit of a puzzler. Aside from one or two hit ups he went missing in the second half.

Injured.

Did we watch th same game hock was the only one who matched up up the middle thought he outplayed Westwood and Simms! Hill was very good today and that asotasi had he's first good game in 2 year! As for sammy Barlow if he could commit he would walk into our team super league or championship! I wouldn't change a thing 1-7 but today showed we aren't there in the forwards all good players in their own right but a big step up! I've said it all year but our defence around the ptb is shocking! Dwyer attacked the whole at a defender all day! How many scoot try's have we allowed around there all year? Wakes found us out early on in the game and wire did last night! Work too do but a massive effort yesterday and Warrington aren't as bad a team as their fans like too make out!!

Don't think it's fair comparing our pack to Warrington's...one of the best in Super League !!! If only their backs were 'half as good' !


Though Kevin Penny is superb at Flying !!!!!!

Thanks Alan, my question of where does that leave Sam was more to do with a some posters on this topic leaving him out of their team for Super League.
Incidentally Sam was at Keighley yesterday for our match v Broncos.
Spooky

Obviously likes his RL - probably went to watch the Broncos then!



Seriously, a bit disappointing he wasn't at Warrington, supporting his mates. I hope he comes back soon - as I believe we are missing him.

See you in the '8's' - and the way you are scoring lately, we would probably need to be worried about that prospect.

Have to admit I wasn't a fan of Hock and thought signing him was a mistake, his first few games I was disappointed in him. Since Whitehaven however he's been playing brilliantly all seems to have clicked for him and he's really showing his skill now.

The game was a bit too quick for Fui yesterday, he's still one of the best in The Championship and showed against Wakefield he's still able to handle himself against the slower Super League teams. Think that's probably about his level now, mid table SL, though to be fair I think that's probably about the level of the team as a whole.

Sam was at Warrington supporting his mates he was by the dug out saw him myself x

That sounds better. Obviously, paranoid 'Fax fans have him popping up all over the 'Dark Side'!



Thanks, 'jacquip'.

It's not paranoia, Sam was at the Halifax game, we kicked off at 6.00 don't know what time you kicked off.
With respect stop thinking that the world is against you.
SAM WAS AT THE FAX GAME. He was trying desperately to be noticed on probably the hottest day of the year he was dressed in a Parker jacket with a fur lined hood.
SAM WAS AT THE FAX GAME, unless he has a double.

Was trying to be ironic John! My main concern was that Sam might not have been at the Leigh game. Obviously he loves his RL. (and that he's a closet London fan!

) Reason for the parka was that he probably had his Leigh club suit & tie on underneath.

Or Sam is a closet Mod.lol

Sam in a suit?
Wouldn't look right with flip flops.

All part of the club's approach to discipline, I reckon. Doesn't half create a good impression when they turn up at Red Hall for the Disciplinary meetings. Maybe that's where the 'Fax & Fev guys are going wrong?

I think reffy talks crap hill could not keep hold of the ball and all sims and hill did was have a hand in and score the try hock was by far the best forward on the field
