Lets make sure we dont get egg on our faces then!

And what excuses are they? Stating that we have alot of forwards injured?

We still have a team capable of winning on Thursday. The team will be very simialr to last week with just Fletcher missing. There's alot of arrogance on this board, surprised really considering you're going into a big game having just played a University team in 3 weeks.

we are not arrogent. we are just very confident we can beat you and even with the forwards that you are missing i still think we can beat you.

we have won every game we have played so far and admitedly it wasnt againt a team like widnes but to score more than 50 points in every game we have played so far that isnt easy to do.

am really looking forward to this one now.

You're right, it's impressive. So is scoring 158 points in 2 games and conceding zero.

Add the 'new coach' factor to that, and it isn't going to be as easy as you obviously think it is.

I dont think there is any more arrogance than on most sites?

You are correct that we havent had a test yet this season, but then you can hardly call last weeks fiasco a test for your team either.

I am looking forward to the game as this will be our biggest test yet and will probably represent our biggest test of the season, time and time again.

am just saying that even with your full strengh squad on the pitch we could still beat you i believe.

well basically in all the games we have played so far most of the pionts we have conceded have been interceptions. the defence has been preety good so far this year. plus i think we have a stronger pack than you so that will give the chance for penky glesson black govin and maybe beswick to work around.

although if there is one player that i am not looking forward to seeing and that is webster he could just be the key in a match like this.

We need to play better than we have been doing to win.

We can be Jekyll and Hyde. If we get it right, we will win but if we turn up in the wrong frame of mind we will struggle.

They are valid excuses, we have six missing which would affect any team. As I have said before the season won't be won on Thursday.
