even with two injuries this is a good side

You're right, BM is the manager, he and only he will pick the team, but I am happy that he has 19 good players to choose from.







But Luke Dorn has to be in there

If you don't want to follow the link this is them Clubb, Dorn, Gafa, Gale, Golden, Heckenberg, Howell, Kaye, Mbu, McCarthy-Scarsbrook, Melling, Orr, Purdham, Randall, Robinson, Sharp, Temata, Ward, Wells. So are Purdo, Cougar and Sharp really fit after last week or is there some smoke and mirrors going on - we shall see. Hecks in for Haggy. I could put the Pies 19 up but they aren't very good and no household names really so I can't be bovvered. Still the good news is that Mathers is in it I never realised there was a problem with Sharp. Was he limping or something

Dorn will be one of the first on the team sheet every week. Mbu will be feeling the LoVe, warming the stands with his posterior.

Why have people on here got such a vendetta towards Joe Mbu?

Dorn is an opportunist, I would rather have a grafter like Mbu in the side.

i realise this will feed your paanoia/chip on shoulder and also your arrogance that only you know anything about the game, that is without doubt the stupidist post i have ever read and you need to go get some serious medication and lie down for a few years.

dorn is a try scorer and has scored tries at every club he has played for and will continue to do so, and tries win matches because, and you may not quite have grasped this, you get points for each and every one and as long as you get more points than the other team you win the match. Note the Castleford match (and before you point it out i know we won on goal kicks, but Hill would not have scored those two tries............... I accept he might have scored three others or made three but...........)

And to be clear:

Scott Hill - was a great player. I loved watching him and he was not just a money grabber. Dorn isnt hill and nor was Hill Dorn and never was. They both bring things to the party but they are different things

Joe Mbu - is a really good, solid, dependable club man who i also enjoy watching. I was sad when he left and glad when he came back. some of his performances last year where outstanding and i am always pleased to see him in the team, but he is not dorn and Dorn not he, they do very different jobs and one cannot replace the other.

Finally i am not out to bash you/trash you or anything else. The post was rubbish and i have a spare 5 minutes and i just wanted to share with you. If you said it as a joke or at an attempt at irony, you failed to amuse me.

How can you say Dorn to miss out?

Even though you have the chip on your shoulder about Scott Hill leaving and some people saying Dorn is his replacement, you can't deny that Dorn is a very good player, the game at Cas could have been very different without Luke Dorn.

I would be very worried that we would lose if we started this saturdays game against Wigan without him.

Listy is a very well balanced individual..he has a huge chip on both shoulders...

Mac said on the Radio that he had a slight back problem, thats why he didnt come out for 2nd half on Sunday. but said he be fit for Wigan, they were just airing on the side of caution

Think we might miss Haggerty go forward in this match. Also wonder if Golden in for cover for Purdham.

One question i know we have Kaye here as Hooker,but if we do need a kicker for cover can Gale play Hooker or even LF, or is he just a SH/SO

As for Joe,he may noy be a star player,but he never gives else then 100% when playing for Quins

Who has a vendetta with Mbu??

No-one is criticising him at all, I, and a couple of others have defended Luke Dorn and no-one has said a single bad word about Joe Mbu!

Joe is a great player, and he will work hard every minute he is on the pitch.
