You would think that cycle will be very hard to break now. I am not sure how the club will budget for next season unless some stability can be obtained. Then there’s the question of who would come. It would be real nice to see the local junior and amateur pools grow and offer a better product line for both our clubs. I really wish the council would invests more in youth sports. It’s a known fact that kids really active in sports are less likely to end up in trouble.

nice to see your diarrhea has cleared up

Looks like Jamie’s Ellis to Leigh is doing the rounds today. Can’t really blame him. I’m sure he had bills to pay like the rest of us. Just wonder if the delay in negotiations and the uncertainty around the club will lead to an exodus of first team players.

Would hope he would be released whatever state our finances?
Wish him well but ultimately no longer a SL standard player.
I suspect come Sunday teatime you will have flounced off here which will be nice

I agree that he’s not the greatest super league player but I still think he’s decent at this level. There’s really not a lot of quality half backs around unless your willing and able to pay good money. He can at least a slot over some goals and drop goals that increases his worth. Could be tough to attract a better replacement with all things considered.

indeed hes not, in fact only marc sneyd rates below him on this years efforts

I know you are trying to divert the conversation away from your clubs crisis but as a matter of fact, I don’t rate Marc Sneyd very highly either. His kicking is second to none but as a half back I don’t rate him.

So back on topic, who do you think you’ll replace Ellis with?

richard agar

Played great today. Leigh fans must be real happy with that signing for league 1. He should go well for them. Is your opinion still the same my friend?

We have offered new deals to Quinlan,Parcell and Crooks.

How dare you.....

Really hope so, and that they accept if true. These are the first three I would offer deals to. Every one of them offers a real threat and we should do everything to hang on to them.

Quinlan is a very good attacking full back but has missed a lot of games for us. I like Dagger but think I'd trust Tony Smith's call on Quinlan.

From the horses mouth,they all want to stay,so fingers crossed.

3 very important players. Quinlan if fit is real class.Crooks has refound his form and Parcell is a dynamo who makes us tick. Are Linnett and SKD here next year? Plenty of groaning over SKD but not had a real shot at things yet. I like him but not seen enough going forward of him but could have Mal Meninga there and still would look average in a team losing the forward battle.

I love it when people blame “losing the forward battle”. Maybe it’s because backs like SKD make Stupid mistakes and give cheap turnover. The forwards have to do a lot of defense if you keep turning over possession. Maybe Smiths expansive game plan is not right for the players you have.

The expansive game plan that has the lowest points for in SL...

not surprising is it basement dwellers and all that im surprised we havent conceded the most aswell i wonder whos below us at this moment in time

Laughing at your own post?
Check the same stat after about 3 minutes of your game against Wigan...unless of course your resolute defence holds on.

Weve earnt a few kind words over some attacking rugby but tbf the losses are adding up. Warrington (full strength) Saints minus a centre and a nut nipping winger.Tonight Wigan who whilst missing few forwards look very strong followed by Saints again? Then I think its Leeds? Even the most one eyed troll must take that run and feel a little sorry for us?
The heavy loss v Salford consigned to the never happened file due to a win versus Huddersfield reserves and a likely win tomorrow against Wolves with no pack and no doubt Old Trafford back in the cards? Again it's the nature of the draw and a team can only beat what's put in front of them Of course 2 points is 2 points but to act Billy Big Balls over us losing against these top sides is a bit churlish. Smith seems happy enough with the efforts and with no relegation it's less important for now. Saying all this i would indeed welcome a good performance combined with a win

Which was nice

Fair cop, Smith's style clearly doesn’t suit us.

No cheap thrills for the 3 Stooges this night

Get in!!!! Well done boys.
