Anyone heard of Tyrone roberts Newcastle Knights half. Rumour down under we're chasing him. Presumably for next year

Even though the Knights have had a bad year, I would be very pleased if we got him. Seen him play a few times and he looks like a good player. He likes to take the line on a lot and loves to throw a dummy. He kicks goals too.

Anyway you try tell some of the senior player they're not playing in the Leigh game. They've marked this game since the first round of the year.

Exactly. And this is exactly why I don't want our key players playing. We can all see exactly what is going to happen in this game, there will be scraps at some stage, you can tell from tweets made by the players that they want revenge.
But any suspensions coming out of this game will not take effect until the middle 8s. Do you want to win this pointless league game but then lose a key playoff game because we were missing some through suspension? I bloody don't.

We have bigger fish to fry and we need certain players to be fit to stand a chance of winning the big prize. Any thought of revenge against Leigh can wait a little longer until it really matters. I fully understand why most folk including players will have an emotional response to what happened at LSV but shrewd management is needed here....cool heads.
Just imagine if Cobb is the ref again.

Don't have a problem if Cobb is the ref ... what I have seen and heard of him he has come on well through the season. Cant help thinking though, that he looks an awful lot like a young Rowan Atkinson

Well we might as well rest everyone now as we're not going to go into the middle 8's with any momentum anyway after yet another spineless performance! Sorry anyone who thinks we can turn form on as off like a tap is deluded. We should have laid down some markers these next 3 games and gone in with some momentum.

You rest good players that need to be refreshed. So that would only be OBrien

Sames here. Will be a very good player for us if we could manage to pull it off, either if we are in SL or Championship.

Good point well made.

No point risking Mullaney, Gaskell or AoB against Leigh now. Get Addy and Siejka in the halves, give Halafihi a decent stint at hooker and let Caro play the full 80 to get his fitness up.

Brook and Tahraoui both had blinders for Keighley today, Samir got MOM. I'd ask wtf they are doing playing for Keighley in the first place but I'm starting to sound like a broken record so what's the point.

Even a broken record's right 33 times a minute.
