Eh I know you didn't, that's why I questioned why he's agreeing me when I was talking about him to back it up.

I am not suggesting they are wrong either by the way - but you might be up for a trip to court!!!! That comment puzzles me, can you clarify what you mean. Do you mean
a) to be able to get any money back; or
b) for suggesting that the cheque bounced; or
c) for saying it
Sorry Kinleycat not quite sure what you are meaning.

| Boring yes --predictable yes--shoot ourselves in the foot yes--easy to work out? you,ve got it. What part of a coaching manual tells players to get the ball away from the ruck and then bring it straight back thus gaining zilch??? Beats the hell out of me!

| When you make Cas look like Wigan, something is deeply wrong; total lack of defensive commitment, poor movement on and off the ball and a mercurial half-back who has gone into his shell and reverted to the same drop-off ball on every attacking play.
There's trouble at t'mill.

Is Fox the best victim you could manage, jeez I'd pick a dozen before I got to that poor lad.
The Two Smith for starters and a coach who picks the worst bench in history in terms of versatility and makes his hooker play 80 minutes every week and expects miracles whilst letting a good one go with no replacement.
Many things as fans are beyond our knowledge and grasp but I will never ever believe I couldn't have picked a better bench than that.

Tim Smith is a one trick pony, well two. A good cut out pass and an inside ball.
However despite defending him earlier this season he doesn't tackle or run in any direction and it's becoming a joke.
Truth is Rangi Chase is ten times the player and it hurts to say. Worse still he doesn't compete with previous Trinity halves either. Nowhere near as good as Brough who we have never managed to replace. Not as good as Jeffries and just about on a par with Rooney who at least scored occasionally.
Smith can go for me, I'm bored of this when I can be bothered stuff, he need to man up and lead the team.

I agree to an extent with this about Smith (particularly the comparisons with Brough and Chase), would argue that his is a better player than both Jeffries and also Rooney but not a right lot in it. I would be prepared to give Smith the benefit of the doubt for some time yet, and reserve judgement until Sykes comes back. I for one didn't rate Sykes particularly, but the dip in Smith's form has come at the same time as Sykes is missing so this for me is enough to save him from criticism. As for defence, he's not there to tackle and plenty have massive question marks over them in that department so prepared to give him that.
The one that is disappointing me is Poore, he is on a real downward spiral after starting fairly sprightly. I cannot help but think there is some truth in the rumours that he is on an extended site seeing tour with their lass until returning back down under next year - something is clearly affecting his performance on the field. In the last 2 games I don't think he has won a collision, yet he has continued to give away penalties, and not ones you can accept from an "enforcer" type of player, they are lazy needless ones that are simply daft and unavoidable more often than not.
I realise that he is a bit of a folk hero after paggaring Bailey and Farrell, but there are far too similarities between him and Korkidas for me. I fully expect the fanboys to be along in a moment sticking up for him too.
Who's ever heard of a former State of Origin prop that has been dominated by George Griffin and Ryan Boyle and others of their ilk?

I could have picked others, but if you read my comment properly I was talking about our wingers before mentioning our beaten pack. Even your extensive Rugby League knowledge will stretch to the fact we only have two wingers and at the time I made the comment Fox was the worse of the two.

I'll pull you up on a few points things, Jeffries was way more varied and IMHO a better player for us but hey opinions.
Where I can't agree is his tackling. Yes he isn't expected to be Kirmond or Aiton in that department but he should still be able to tackle or try to tackle when required and he simply isn't doing that.
True Sykes does seem to bring out the best but come on he's not running Smith by remote control - he shouldn't lose all ability to play the game because Sykes isn't playing.

He had a poorish game against Carney which is odd because he had his best against him earlier in the season, but for me Ben was poorer all game.
Truth is when the team is playing so bad Wingers and Fullbacks are always made to look worst.
