Surprise! Surprise! No changes ... : Wed May 30, 2012 6:21 pm  

And us fans are being told to get some perspective as losing to Wigan is only one team. Rush is beginning to get on my nerves. As my Dad said the other day: the prefect is in charge of the sixth formers. He's showing his age and the fact that he went to grammar school back in the day but IMO fundamentally he's right.

Has the squad been announced? How many changes to the 19 can they make realistically?

Well, I think a lot of people wanted to see a change in the halfbacks wouldn't you say? But it is clear from Rush's comments that the only changes which will be made will be as a result of injury so we can assume that Hohaia will be retained as our 6 regardless of his performance, and indeed Meli on the wing (useless idiot).

Also, though, I didn't like the way he spoke about the Wigan matches. His lack of interest in them speaks volumes and probably helps to understand why the team aren't motivated in them either. Contrast his attitude with the ape over the lump and it is little wonder we looked like a bunch of wets on Sunday night.

Have you now finally noticed that lance hohaia isn't a stand off?

So basically we targeting the next 5 wins against mediocre opposition and then when we get to somebody good we'll struggle.

Why is he so reluctant to make the obvious changes that are needed. I'm starting to dislike him.

To be fair, the aint much he can change. Obviously he can bring in gaskell for hohaia and maybe josh jones for one of shenton or wheeler but that's about it really.

I acknowledged it on these boards about five weeks ago, at the very least. Perhaps you were banned at the time.

I know there's not a lot that can be done but there are things he can do which he appears to be blind to see.

Meli needs to go back into the centres with Josh Jones on the other side. Personally I'd put Makinson at full back but I can see why he's staying with Wellens. Gaskell must come in for Hohaia. Flannery is a dead duck and Dixon deserves another shot at it. Magennis is awful and I'm glad he's suspended, I' have Forster in over him.

Just reading that article.
Saying some players are getting some stick on social networking sites.
Saints where pretty crap on Sunday but to start hurling abuse at the players is idiotic. If anyone on here has done it, your a moron.
