Probably on the wing instead of Colbon at the moment, or at least a place on the bench.

All coaches/managers whatever the sport have their favourites. In the past Wayne Bennett & Sir Alex have been accused of favouritism

Halls non selection is nothing to do with favouritism, its more to do with him being not very good. We have better centres and wingers at the club than Hall.
I'm pretty sure Morgan picks the team he thinks will win, unfortunately he has got this wrong too many times this year.

Dropping a winger for a centre because you don't think he's been performing, that would ruin a career.

Besides, Colbon has been one of our best at making yards.

I didn't really agree with the Hall signing, nor do I agree with trying to shoehorn him in the squad. Goes well in the 20s.

obviuosly never saw hall in the u20'2 yesterday afternoon? does'nt look interested one bit.

Fair points Barham / Dum-Dum, just a shame we can't somehow use Hall's attacking flair.

Can't say i blame him. The standard of U-20 rugby is pitiful and i wouldn't like to be playing it either.

Yesterdays ref was from the 20s making his superleague debut.

Go figure...

surely he has to go out there with the determination to be the best player on the field and fight for a place in the first team squad? irrespective of the comp standard! I've seen kids try harder on east park!

Chris Park:
So Justin, will Matt Cook be in your thoughts for sunday after his MoM performance today?

Yes that was my opinion when he made several breaks and drove the ball in on a number of occasions

matt cook is going to quins...

Wouldn't blame him, he has been treated very poorly by Morgan IMO

its a shame for you guys..i dont know how hes been treated at your club..i just know this to be true

He is from the National League

Well I'm not happy at all can feel an e mail coming on a snotty one at that to Mr Hudge himself I'm starting to really get narked of now with this club, Morgan shud go he stinks

I don't know about behind the scenes, but as a season ticket holder I have seen the kid play well everytime he pulls the shirt on and he has often come up with crucial plays and tries only to be dropped. He is still young (25 ish I believe) and can play back row and centre and is BRITISH.

For me I would have him in the 17 (possibly in the 13 with Galea at loose) and drop Murrell who is not up to SL.

Sensible post, agree with it all but what do we know!

Please God no....







If Morgan allows that to happen he's a f*****g disgrace.

When ur face don't fit with Morgan it don't fit big style, netherton gets a two year deal cook goes to be honest I think that Morgan will go app there is a big exclusive interview in the paper Tom with the hdm watch this space




But agree roofs if cook goes they all need shooting for letting it happen

On Sunday I suggest the biggest 'matty matty cook' chant ever to make a point to our coach.

He would just say ...While iam in the seat. thats my choice.

Been thinking about this a bit and tried to evaluate this from JM's point of view. So thinking what if -

Say that its true what a few people are saying that Matt Cook said in the bar after the match, he asked to be brought off after his 15 min spell in the 2nd half. Then I can see why JM isn't picking him week in week out. Yes he plays well when he comes on but 15mins a half is very poor for a 2nd rower, in fact I'd say its unacceptable for a player of Cooks age.
I'm expecting a barrage of replies saying he doesn't get game time to improve fitess but surely playing in the U20's is game time to improve general fitness.
Also if he is asking to come off is that letting the rest of the team down, shouldn;t he play until he's dead on his feet, insist on being kept on the pitch, not asking to come off.

So MAYBE JM has told him to work on his fitness, get more minutes in but he just isn't cutting it?

....and the award for the most ridiculous post of the year goes to............





What complete tosh!!!

Possible mate, but my guess would be:

1. He's English, not Australian
2. He's not really ar$ed about poker
