He's Scottish a.k.a Jock

I'd be tempted to give Meekin a game cos Bibey gives us very little go forward for me when he's on the pitch. Been impressed with Morrison recently, he runs the ball straight and hard which is something lacking in a lot of props these days.

Meekin played for the ressies tonight (as did Nash) so can't see him playing on Sunday.

You taking the proverbial.............

so he's probably not playing for us this Sunday thats a strange decision to play him for the reserves so close to a big & important game with Fax

Totally agree I despair at some of IM decisions at times.

seriously?

WHAT???

Bibey has done that which is expected of him - i.e.making the hard yards, and drawing the opposition tacklers.....the only thing missing from Bibey's performances this season has been a try - but his being on the pitch has benefitted others in this regard. IMHO our best prop this season.

nash only played 20 approx and hes in 1st team sunday

Couldn't pick the best out of Bibey Hill and Emmit

Nash obviously needs game time and giving him a run out last night against Hunslet reserves seems a very good idea to me.

Re Mitchell if he plays for Wire Sunday so be it. We will get 100 % effort from whoever is selected tomorrow and our lads do not like losing.

Criticism of Bibey

He is pack leader of the best pack in the Championship.

Can't believe the comment about Bibey. Makes good yards, attracts defenders, can pass before the line and gets a quicker play the ball than most forwards in the league. He has been quality for us this year.

I still think he could run faster than walkling pace with the ball in hand but Bibey is a beast & I think there's more to come from him yet. I've still not seen Nash play other than the wire friendly

wot kind of player was he like at Salford & wot can we exspect from him is he a good enough to survive in SL or is he a top of the league Championship player?

Bibey
McConnell
Hill
Mitchell
Taylor
McCarthy

Emmitt
Nash
Goulden

Would be an awesome play off pack.

Do people actually watch the game?

Bibey runs often and it takes three players to put him down. Add in his ability to off load with three players on him and I'm thinking he adds up to quality at this level. He does sometimes appear to be running at three quarter pace but watch him drive as he gets tackled. Extra yards every time in the tackle.

Ricky and all our pack have been brilliant this year, it beggers belief how someone can call Ricky, or any of the players, Morrison was brill too v Haven imho our best forward on the day.

According to the RFL:

Dual Registered Players shall only be eligible to play in these Grand Final series provided that
the player has played in at least 75% of the club’s Championships fixtures during the season
in question. Clubs shall be entitled to apply for a dispensation under this rule where the
Player has been injured.

We've got no chance of any of the dual contract players playing for us in the play off's (provided we get there of course). Leigh have played 11 games so far, anyone know what % of league games your DC players have played in?

The dispensation may apply to 'recalled by SL club to play', I also understand if they move from DC to loan it solves the issue.

In answer to your question, not very often since Fax away

B00locks.

I'm no expert but anybody with eyes can see what Biby gives you on the pitch - hard yards, quick PTB, lots of game time, strong defence

As for Morrison, I like him but he just isn't big enough

I can't believe anyone can criticise our pack, it's by far the best in the league. The only position that could be improved is loose forward, and that's no critisism of Armitstead, I just see him more of a second rower.

Well unless I've been on a different planet he has pretty much been playing as a prop this season - the number on the back means not a lot these days.

Ricky is the best prop in this league by a million miles, quite simply he shouldnt be playing in this league we are blessed through the coach to have him in our side!

You're right, most teams play with two hookers at least for some part of the game, but that is normally the stand off doing it (Riddy's done it a bit this year) which leaves the srum half on his own unless you have a creative LF.
