To be fair just because somebody's played the game doesn't automatically mean they understand it more than the spectators a good friend of mine played at a high level for 12 years and when we watch a game I still can't believe he got through the 12 years with his lack of knowledge which he admits himself

Its my experience there are ex-players who you sit up and listen to.

At the end of the day, we have to trust Tim Sheens knows what he is doing, and he sees Abdull as a 6. Not that it will stop me from questioning it.

Fev are still mostly part-time aren't they? Not a great marker laid down for the middle 8's.

Yes there are a lot of ex players who know there stuff, on Abdul I think he's been consistent it's Ellis who's hit and miss for me

Totally agree with the Ellis statement. He seems to perform when he chooses, he for me is a much bigger concern at 7 that Adbul is at 6.

Wow, did you just refer to a game from 34 years ago to make a connection to a game played yesterday?

Doesn't change the fact that a team that train full-time should be beating a team of part-timers, who had to get up this morning to go to their day jobs.

So with that logic shouldn't you have beaten Leigh at home seeing as us as a championship team beat them away or put up a better fight against Salford

Seen as all the teams you mention are full-time, that doesn't really apply to the point I'm making. If we'd have dropped points vs a part-time team, then yeh fair point.
