my m8 says danny is out of tomoz game ..due too dead leg

Ridiculous....surely he is playing for hull this week

Thought it was saint Helen's, No wait my mistake it was Wigan all along.

If this is true,who will be the halves tonight? bearing in mind we have lost Broughys very important kicking game.

Grix plus Moore or Lee will take up the halves, allowing Robinson to also rotate

This is only if Brough doesn't play

If no Brough then Grix to first receiver for mine to take on the kicking duties.Disrupts things a bit though must be said.Lee had a solid game as run on hooker,Robbo is dangerous out of dummy half later on.

Decent kicking game has Grixy,thing is though he doesn't do spiral bombs to my recollection,and Broughy was 8 from 8 (think it was) on the goalkicking front last week.

Brough out would be a big loss,but that goes without saying.

think he will be playing.

Brough will be a late call, but currently will not play

well if hes out thats a blow

grix-lee

moore-robinson

probably have to go with

I thought Grix had his best game for us for a while.

He was average against a very pedestrian team. Not having a go at you jools, but Grix was O.K., nothing more imo. Kicking out on the full etc. He just isn't up to scratch in my view. It took an error strewn game against a poor team for him to put in a just average performance & therefore get noticed.

He has really been found wanting the last season & a half now. I'm not trolling, I know there are dedicated fans here who rate the lad. But I honestly don't. Not scapegoating, just saying.

Etc???? What is the etc?? The try saving tackle? The try's he set up? Brough has kicked out on the full on more than one occasion in recent weeks- is he average too? That kick was the only error he made.

And I didn't say he was world class - I said he'd had a much better game than recently. But I know that won't be good enough to stop him being the most recent player to get stick.

i agre with jools. Grixy hardly put a foot wrong today. A couple of good breaks a great try saving tackle in the second half and his kicking was pretty good.

The only problem was that he made one obvious mistake and people get on his back.

There were loads of mistakes made by other players.

The knock on when jerry got the ball 10 mins from the end of the first half was terrible. As they scored on that set and got back into the game. A bit of composure then and we could have kept them scoreless until Leroy came back on.

And as for Eorl who could not make the line from 10 metres out with a clear run in was shocking ( although i suppose he had just gone 50 metres and dummied Patten gives him a positive)



I cannot wait to see the stats for the game i bet Eorl made over 200 metres in carries.



A narow win against a poor Salford side but the confidence will be building. Anderson with a 50% success rate. A game where the ref did us no favours. Their first try must have been 2 yards forwrd.

Hard work but a good win.

Grix made 1 mistake last night. What an awful player he is. Forget the tackles he made. Forget how many tries come off his passing [including last week - he has both a short, inside pass and a long cut-out pass.

Yes, he does sometimes get caught in possession when running across the field. How many times would Cunningham have got caught if he hadn't have had his forwards running up wanting a pass? Perhaps if our forwards did the same Grix would have someone to pass to?

After a poor spell, he had an excellent game last week and a very good one last night.

And in closing, how on earth people [person? can say he wasn't u to it [i:2ktdlveulast[/i.

well brough didnt play afterall!

still we got the two points with a make shift team so well done giants!

A crowd of over 5000??? Even including season ticket holders that must be optimistic. Looked like 3000 a tops.

A good turnout by us, though.

The reception given to the players at the end of the game was one of the best I've ever seen. The look on the players faces showed how much they appreciated it.

Well done to one and all [apart from the 4 behind us, talk about moaning and blinkered vision!!!

seems like alot of clubs are giving out attendanes to be more than they are... salford, bradford are two

ours looked abit shady v catalans too

Nah ours looked good v Les Cats

And I sometimes wonder if I'm watching the same game as others

Must admit i was a bit worried when the team was announced but i thought Grix and Tommy more than made up for Danny's absence - Grix actually looked like a decent creative player last night, maybe because he wasn't having to play in Danny's shadows, and Tommy was solid without being superb and between them kept the team ticking over well.

grix did well put some neat kicks in and i suppose you can beat whats infront of ya and he did that.

mason well id let him go now he must be averaging 4/5 pens a game along with his mistakes

tommy lee sign him onto a new contract now he has been a good signing for us always looked sharp at both hooker and half back

joe wardle brilliant return after being out so long

overall scrappy game thought our forwards dominated, thaler got abit to whistle happy in the second half but we responded well to nick it at the end and without brough not a bad night at the office

Ditto.

Mason doesn't give any more penalties away than any other player
Nor does he knock on more than any other

What he does do is add some real bite and mongrel in the middle that we missed when he wasn't playing. Last few games he has run hard and tackled hard and what more do people want from a prop?

We could have the entire Queensland SOO team in claret and gold and some people would still say they were no good!

Mason can knock on at inopportune moments so it stands out more IMO.

He did give away some vital possession last night- but his overall performance has improved in last two games.

not been grixys biggest fan of late but thought he was superb last night got give the lad credit when he plays well, him and tommy lee handled the key roles very well i thought, as for mason i thought he gives what we need a bit of grunt and agression when hes fired up we look a lot better side, yes he makes errors but makes up with his agression for me.
Heard last night that lee wants a contract but thewlis haggling over money, tommy only wants 30k and 1 year contract hes happy to accept, sign him up i say, most games hes played this year he has performed well i think.
