[/quote]Why are so many mentioning Broughton? There is no chance of us signing him is there?[/quote]

THINK HE WOULD BE MORE REALISTIC THAN SAY TOM BRISCOE, KALLUM WATKINS, RICHARD OWEN.

You are all knee jerking feckwits. The main area we are lacking in is fullback. Despite his tackle today every other aspect of his game is a major weakness for us. The centres and wingers are fine and pretty pacy and youthful.

Throw a Tomkins or Hayne at fullback and we would be fine.

I'm not knee jerking, I've been saying that our backs ain't good enough for 18 month.

Do you honestly believe that having a different fullback would make that much of a difference ?

I think it's a little more than just replacing wello.

Silly comment.

Why? Jammer is an enormous part of our team. Lane Hohaia is having a terrible time in the NRL, everytime I read an match report about him it lists his errors during the game.

Absolutely right. We need to be switched on for the full 80 and bring our A game. But we don't, so we lose to teams who exploit our lapses in ball control, concentration and defence. Invariably, those teams are the teams who are higher up in the league and that is why they are higher up in the league.

"Howler" Hohaia is his nickname

A good team on their game would have put points on the board in the first half today. We was camped on thier line for about 30 mins in the first half.

And even tho the pies was good in defence, our attack asked no questions and we didn't look like scoring.

Jammer hasn't been the player this season that he has been in previous seasons. His passion and endurance are the factors we are most going to miss about him but we will adapt. As for Lance, do you think Sale (or Bath or wherever it is he is going) fans would be encouraged by Kyle Eastmond for most of this season? I doubt it. You cannot judge a player on one season.

And in any case, there is a lot of knee jerking going on around here.

Who in all honesty expected us to beat Wigan today? I know I didn't. Given our crazy season and ongoing injuries with the disruption that causes I thought we put in a great effort but just came up short. That does for me.

Personally, I'm glad we aren't going to Wembley. Our team needs the weekend off. There is always next year.

I'm far more concerned about Friday and how the hell we are going to field a team to match Hudds.

You argue with me even when I'm agreeing with you!

Jammer hasn't been the same player this year but I know for a fact he's playing most weeks with various injuries and one in particular that he can't shake off but he's put his hand up every week.

I though jammer was poor today tho, he worked hard but he was going down before he was touched today with looked awful.
