Not sure i agree.

If Calderwood goes injured we have plenty of cover for me. (with a fully fit squad) Manu on the other hand gives us something that no one else in the side does.

Fair enough it's all about opinions. Though Whiting has done an ok job on the wing i think against the better teams (Wigan/Leeds) they've really shown up our lack of wingers on the edge IMO and resulted in a lot of tries.

Think that's more down to our poor sliding defence, myself. We've conceded so many tries where the winger is left isolated with 3 or 4 men to defend against.

Agree. It's been a problem since week 1. Briscoe was exposed a number of times early in the season due to inside defenders not working hard enough and our desire to condense down the middle to win the wrestle.

Yes it's hard to pinpoint exactly where it goes wrong, some would suggest the middle. I just feel that not having a winger has cost us quite a few tries both in attack and in defence.

Not too much difference in my opinion, while we are enjoying better fortunes at the moment on the field, we are both two clubs that overall just seem very happy to "exist" rather then compete.

You would have beat Bradford what I saw the other day even with your players out.

I thought our defence was bad but then watched the hull kr v bradford game. Could have ended up 50 all

Simon Moran is not as wealthy as people make out but he is a very good businessman. If it wasnt for Take That reforming he would have gone bankrupt. I have some friends who work for him that say he is on top of everything with regards to property and the recent success of the Academy venues in which he is a shareholder has helped but he is definitly not in a position to invest in a rugby club. I like Rule for what its worth but you cant compare his or Hetheringtons success to Morans.

The salary cap has had a few years to take effect and the clubs will be finding other ways to utilise the money. Can somebody honestly say they would be equally motivated at work if a company down the road had much better facilities? Or a much bigger management team to ensure they get the best out of you?

I don't know how endorsements fit under the salary cap but if I was a club I would spend considerable time building relationships with key staff at large corporations.
