What are these nasty props people go on about? I wouldn't have said any of the current top 4 have props who would be classed as "nasty". Plenty of hard hitting, hard grafting ones but there is no nastiness/foul play any more like there used to be

I meant aggressiveness and giving every tackle and hit up everything they have.we have been too 'nice' a team for few season.soft in defence up middle and on edges.make no mistake Leigh bullied us last week.hansen Patterson did exactly what ellis n chello have done to our pack last 5 derbies.walker allgood tilse green are all capable props but only green and allgood show real fire once or twice a season which normally sees a card produced.need smart niggly hard men who teams know they won't turn over and have belly tickled.mcdermott or mills (senior) types.

The timing of the announcment is not our doing. Koukash forced the issue.

Regardless of his loyalties, our players now know. They also know they need to up their game otherwise Sheens will get rid. THAT is the boost that might us get over the line. Ignore Salford and the MPG, get the three wins and we're back in SL.

You can't just get rid of contracted players without paying them off though

I don't think we need a scapegoat Blair and Walker are the only players IMO who can hold there heads up really for been consistent all season other players have had the odd good game but regards Kelly after last season I expected big things but he came back overweight poor performances when he should have stepped up after Campeses injury it's all been on Blairs shoulders really hence last week when he stayed and played against Leigh even though his brother had died

I would add Minns, Sio, Thornley, Greenwood and dare I say, Dane Tilse to your list of consistent performers this season, Frankie.

Kelly's standout season last year went to his head and he came back for preseason in really poor shape. Chester's preseason preparations clearly did nothing to rectify matters and he blew smoke up Kelly's arris. Without Campo, Kelly hasn't been able to get back to last year's heady performance heights, let alone morph into an on-field leader and talisman role in Campo's absence.
