Ste Mills’ comment in the recent Trinity Heritage fans forum was telling. He said first and foremost they have a no d*ckheads policy. Signing players based on ability rather than character has been the downfall of many a team, including Wakefield. And you get the impression that might have been the case at Warrington - McGuire being the obvious one.

A lot of us will have played in teams with characters like that who play every week because they can dominate, but they’re rubbish to train with and make the atmosphere toxic.

As for ‘still’ BLM - it’s players like Jordy Crowther, egos like the moon, play in a dinner jacket and won’t do the hard yards

Apparently Wayne Bennett’s best asset is his man management skills, any interview with players who have played for him will say that……. I’m led to believe that Burgees is a chip off the old block with the players too.

Speaking of Bentley, that was funny towards the back end of the 2nd half when Leeds was getting frustrated, Bentley got tackled and started to get all over-excited getting up and jumped up as though he was gonna have a go at the marker, then he saw it was Big Mike and he quietly played the ball and wandered off.

Saw that....
Absolute Gold.

Saw that pic of Pitts and Russell laughing at Bentley and someone commented “This picture wants hanging in the Louvre”

I’ll reply to you Butcher cos BG is not a full shilling totally agree about players but like I’ve said many a time that’s why they stay amateur or lower leagues, regarding Jordan it was SM that got him to Warrington and the rest is history

Mason Lino received 5 points on his record for a grade C charge of making contact to the head of an opponent. Puts him 1 point away from a ban.
Caius Faatili received 1 point on his record for a Grade A late hit on an opponent

According to the RFL website you have got a 3 match ban for foul and abusive language towards an official :lol

Are you going to appeal?
