deary me!

So Croker gets the token middle finger from Her Majesties customs who should we go for ?
My option would to bring in Orford.

Bosc

He's a 6

Richard Horne can revert back to a 7

Dobson, would hav done us,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

We lost it because our interchanges are not up to it ..We start well with the opening 13 than after that it goes t-ts up Has soon as we change players .. I couldn't believe that Thackray was playing for the second team ..He was one man we wanted plus My choice would have been Washy ..Nothing against T Lee or Kingy but they should not have been in the 17 ..I have calmed down now after 200+ miles back home ..a good turn out by our fans even if I say it myself

ps I not Blame Thorman its the players around him that not performing ..

if we don't get Croker WE NEED A CREATIVE ORGANISING 7 desperately.

When we get one put Rich Horne full back cos thats his natural game and he'd be GB in that position.

Not a great fan of Thorman but his long kicking game was excellent last night. Only plus point in the game for me.

Agreed. Shame there was no enthusiasm in the chase.

I think you are been a bit hard on thorman personally i think we are missing a ball handling 13 once it gets past horne and thorman their is no creative spark we play with 3 2nd rowers. i think if we had one their would be alot more direction on the field and it would open our attacking options up

As my memory seems to recall he was 'not good enough' for Hull FC and 'Rovers are welcome to him'

He looked total class today.

We still havent replaced Cooke, he could only operate to the left and it was pretty one dimentional, but it was still effective, now we cant play anything but one man rugby.

Agreed.

But he needs to do that against the better teams too.

He has played well all season, and at 22 he can only get better.

Dobson did play well today....his kicking game & directional play was outstanding....... although he is hit & miss.....he goes missing against the big teams!!!! Very strange to here cookie today....not a happy bunny that he wasnt playing!!!!!!!!!!

If we stop Dobson i am sure they don't have a plan B....Our forwards....Tickle & Radders wuill win us the game!!!!!

Should be a good battle, Galea and Newton are on top form as is Murrell. If we can get our best pack out and Dobbo fires we could be in for a very interesting derby.

I totally agree....as i have siad time & time again....the form book goes out of the window!!!! We dont fear Murrell...he isnt good enough... Our pack is far better than rovers pack!!!! Newton is a good consistent player....just like tickle....

Eh yes he is.

That's got more to do with the coach than the players I fear.

Murell isnt a qulaity player........there will be some interesting battles on Good friday!!!! I still think our pack is fitter, stronger & more moblie than rovers!!!! We do have pace out wide if we bother to pass it to the backs!!!! Richard Horne will show his true class!!!!!!

And why isn't he a quality player? JM stated today after the game that Murrell is the backbone of the team so he obviously rates him aswell.

I have only seen your lads in action on telly, but I think this statement is silly, our packs are nearer in quality than that. IMO, if we have a full first choice pack out against your first choice we would shade it. Where we have the edge is in the halves and maybe even across the threequarters, but I still won't predict a derby

He did; do Saints count as a 'better' team?

I would have a back 3 of Newton,Galea and Murrell over yours 8 days a week
