I know who my money would be on

This is what p[ii[/isses me off.

When we were told about moving to the KC we were told it would mean we could sign better players, so why the feck hasn't it happened?

Jesus, when its spelled ouut like that

2004 (6) V 2009 (5)
I would say a win for the 2004 team by 18 points

My god, 26 players and not a scrum half in sight!

No brainer isn't it oh for the panther back

never mind 26 players and no scrum half its been like that for 20 fooking years

Me too, i don't think we have a divine right to win

But with the right investement in players over the last few years we could be top of the tree again, no doubt

Our recruitment has been poor, too many average players signed on too much money imo

Can't really rationalise it, but I'd always pick McMenemy, on the bench if not in the starting 13. Not the best player but the sort of niggly $hit character we could really do with. Under-utilised kicking game as well.

This was the side who scored 15 tries in a game against salford that year

I'll be surprised if we complete 15 sets!

Wouldn't pick tickle or manu in front of (a fully fit) chester or mcmenemy

Likewise eagar was a better centre than yeaman is and logan offers much greater presence than cusack so would be my choice. swain v berrigan is a difficult one as I don't believe we've see the best of berrigan in his time with us
