Gary Player: “the more I practice the luckier I get”. Pretty decent quote.

I'm afraid it is not, it comes from wum who supports stains and is constantly changing his user name to hide this and like you say it makes no sense that part is true as its totally out of his character to even make that comment

Really.

Well you're at odds with most coaches, not least Alex Ferguson, who clearly states in his Autobiograpy that luck played a huge role in his success.

There is no such thing as luck. There is no mythical power making Gale miss a kick.
It is simply the culmination of a lot of events that arrive at a conclusion you like.
I'm sure Alex Ferguson knows that too.....which is why he works so hard on details others don't to be successful.

I was a bit concerned after the first 15 minutes having had so much possession with nothing on the scoreboard. Only because I have witnessed it so many times before. All credit to the team for hanging in there though, great to see.

Even for you that's bizarre. Of course there is such a thing as luck, it's just another word for chance or good fortune or are you saying they don't exist?

What doesn't exist is ways to create luck such as lucky omens and superstitions, I'll give you that, but luck as a concept is totally real. If luck doesn't exist please explain lottery winners. It may be random chance but you're still chuffin lucky

It's not bizarre just because you don't understand.

You've answered your own point.
You can feel lucky but it isn't something that happens.

You can feel lucky that you roll 2 sixes at dice games but in reality it was always going to be 2 sixes, you just didn't know. Its because of the way you picked them up and the force you put on them in the throw and the way you turned your hand. Not caused by luck.

Luck is just a way of describing something that is beneficial to you that you didn't know was going to happen....but was going to happen regardless.

Excellent results last two weeks, over the two matches how many minutes were we actually in front, shows a real fighting spirit and that is just what is needed when in a relegation battle. Seen comments regarding looking up, 6 point buffer etc etc this to me is silly talk, the battle is on and the quality of teams in that battle is challenging. Toulouse have 5 or six home matches when visiting players have to get used very quickly to 30 degree heat. Toulouse are playing well, they are no easy beats. Think they also have Saints last match of season, Saints will have the League wrapped up and will play a B team gifting Toulouse the points. We have Saints second last match when they will play full strength and then Hudds who will be looking to secure second place. Leeds & Warrington have a star studied team who must get them enough wins. Salford have a great squad. Willie needs to keep the squad focused , I am thinking that maybe 16 points might be enough, 18 will surely keep us up . Can we find four more wins, its a tough tough league and its not going to be Easy. Salford away and the Toulouse match are crucial.

Lino has received a one match ban following an high tackle.

What foresight you possess, all that and you don't know if we can find 4 more wins.

Well done though for stating the obvious.

Hmm. That's problematic.
I hope we have a reserve fixture next week to handle it.

It's quite funny that Philbin, Rachford and Williams are in the England squad for Saturday.

Isn’t he in the combined nations squad?

If so surely that will account for the game.

Reserves due to play Newcastle day before Salford that may help.

Fingers crossed this is the case.

And Cooper and Ashton…

What's going on? I miss 2 games because I'm on holiday and what happens - we win both. How much is everyone going to pay me to stay on holiday? Just asking

You've got a 2 week break but you need to be through check in by 15.00 26th June!!

Warrington rlfans board say Magoulias has left the club.....and has maybe gone to Toulouse.

I thought it would be Powell we managed to push out with a win but it looks like we got him instead.
