Oh for Kelly & Sneyd at 6 & 7.
Never been properly replaced.

I'm feeling nostalgic for the Gale/Reynolds partnership after what I witnessed tonight.

I wish I got a week or weeks ban from work when I make a mistake. I'd be making those mistakes all the time and be putting my feet up.

There's definitely an attraction for being banned.

Were any good no7s available for non marquee money though? We have to be realistic joining a skint 10th place isnt the deal of the century for a decent young player and its only going to get harder the longer we struggle

I'd go further. Smith admitted that the club knew Clifford was putting himself in the shop window and if he performed a return to the NRL was a strong possibility. No contingency plan it seems.

Brown is a good player, he must be to get in the NZ team but he's a hooker not a half back.

We signed a quality half back last season. We just couldn't keep hold of him.

Approximately eight hours to kick-off and, having put my Worzel Gummidge type positive head on, I'm going to stick my neck out and go for us to upset the odds and shade a narrow win by 20 - 18!
Still, it's only a game, isn't it!!

Oh dear, so much for trying to stay positive!!
Struggling to see any positives to take going forward into next week, next month, the rest of the year.

It's already looking like it could be a long, long year for the faithful

The dogfight with London for the wooden spoon could at least keep things slightly interesting.

I suddenly like IMG's franchise idea more than ever

The London game in a couple of weeks is going to be a 4 pointer.
