Maybe you could nip in for Tony Smith before Warrington sign him up to replace Lowes?

We traid the coach that took Saints to glory, didn't work. We tried the coach that brung Bratford glory, isn't working. Really think trying the coach that made Leeds a formidable side going to work???

Whelans the reason you're in this mess in the 1st place. He had the club sown up so tightly leneghan has spent all his time having to sort out the ground, a new sponsor and a new kit manufacturer as big dave spat his dummy.

Wigan had four players missing last night.

Bailey and Richards were really missed.

I agree. People take the mick about Bailey, saying he should be more spectacular than he is.

Teams NEED their solid players though, and people like him tend not to be 'noticed' as such when they're playing, but really missed when they're not there.

Oh and Richards needs to be full back. We've no one else good enough, and in any case, Richards is wasted on the wing.

Didnt bailey play agianst wakefield and hull?? Or was it someone else being run round by pretty much everyone!

We defended well up the middle last night just gash down the sides! Bailey tackling in the middle of the park wont change tim smith playing patsie with the runner!

Had Richards played then no Ainscough...Richards would never have scored that try..and it's not "certain" he would have kicked the goals.

Had Richards played then no Pryce, and I'm pretty sure he would have kicked a couple of those goals.

Maybe your right....though it would not have surprised me if noble has picked pryce over ainscough.

Eight players who came through the academy were in last nights team.

How many were in Hulls last week?

Eight:
Yeaman, Briscoe, Horne R & G, Radford, Burnett, Washbrook & King

Hall and Houghton were in the 19 and unlucky not to make the 17.

I didn't even realise Bailey hadn't played until halfway back down the M6 on the way home!
