I think Menzies has been awsome for them since he went to 6 and Henderson is on fire at the moment. They have greenshields who is always dangerous and real pace in blanch. Baile has been one of the form centres as well.

Dureau is a quality player and will be missed but they do have other attacking options.

Not seen the game, is Dureau definitely out next week, big loss for them if he is. I was hoping Eastmond would get back into playing pre 2011 stuff, hope he gets a starting place and kickstarts our season.

He started the game with a ankle problem and was helped from the field. In the post match interview their coach said he was on crutches.

He also said it's time to prove next week that we ain't a one man team.

It's the 'a win's a win' attitude I don't like. If he'd said they were shocking in the second half and left it at that then that would be fine. But to then say a win is a win shows a poor attitude. At the very least they should consider the fans who had made the trip over there and put some effort into their ball retention, a sign to me of a lack of concentration and care. They are fulltime professionals but are handling the ball like a group of rookie under 7s. And they've been like that for weeks.

That certainly isn't Royce's attitude, I think you may have misunderstood some of the sentiments. I am certain they will get a massive bollocking when they resume training as they didn't retain possession which is what the main focus was at training this week.

I'll find out just how bollocked they get and let you know, just for your own peace of mind.

I get the distinct impression it's not Royce's attitude! I think that is probably the problem. They are not doing as Royce is asking them to do and are going in with the wrong attitude. They deserve a bollocking.

I look forward to it! If I was still unemployed, I'd walk up to Cowley and listen for myself!

We have lost Wilkin, Meli, Clough and Wello to injuries, none of whom are expected to play next week. Wello and Meli are achilles injuries; Wilkin ankle and Clough 'very serious'.

Simmons said that was the worst game of rugby league he has ever seen.

He should have been with us Wakey fans at Hull KR last week, believe me Roycey, that was even worse.

Congratulations, you could shove it up a certain Wigan supporters backside.
