phil clarke predicted catalan last night. is he getting as mental, or is he right about them having the best centre combo, and the best front row in the comp?

I think Phil Clarke & his trolley have parted company.

Interesting to hear Clarkes comments "The team with the best front row wins it".

Immediately following Walters "To win it the stats show the team that organised their defence wins it".

Hull look to be dark horses on viewing all teams.

If that is the case with a rotation of Morley, Rauhihi, Wood and Carvell with Higham at hooker we will win SL at a canter.

Funnily enough I thought RL was a 17 man game!

"Dark Houses" in a Desert Orchid kind of way?

Finished 12th last year. They have replaced Carvell with Moa, Wheeldon with Maloney, Sing with Calderwood and Dykes with Thorman.

Schofield in RLW has us in 6th. He also thinks Salford will finish last and probably won't win a single game. "I've got little faith in their coach, Shaun MacRae. while their captain, Robbie Paul, is a few years past it."

Im very glad that we didn't appoint MacRae.

He is very over rated as a coach.

He was never really that better at second row to be honest.
