Looks that way with Hudds-Shay on Hirst. Hirst's performance against Sheffield outshone everything we've seen from Tangata so a good swap so far. And to argue his failure to hold a place in Wakefield's team is strickly not correct as he was being included, and that argument would hold for ALL champsionship players not in SL anyway!

I would expect every player to 'be honest and give 100%'. It's all about opinions but the one that counts is Simon Grix's. We need to change most of the team as coming in the bottom half of the 2nd division is just not good enough. I would go down the youth route with a few older heads but who they are is open to debate. Muttley Cat has a valid point though about the make up of the Championship as I too believe we will see the demise of some clubs over the next few years, indeed you could say that some of them have actually voted for such a scenario. That said, if a club is happy to plod along in the 2nd division they could well be drawn into the road downwards. Fax as a club must show ambition otherwise we are never going to get back to the top table. If some people are satisfied with that, fair enough. I'm not. Up The Fax!

Out of interest how would you rate Hirst's performance at Swinton ?

I didn't go to Swinton, Beau, was he bad?

On the subject of some clubs maybe going under. I fear for the future. I've said this for some time now, but paying £19 to watch a championship club is way way way too much, infact compared to alternative entertainment it should be no more than a tenner. I guess that the vast majority of exisiting speccies are "old" fans (not necessarily in terms of age) who will continue to watch with a gradual decrease in attendances as we all die off until "non sustainability" is reached.

Took him all of one game to blend in with the annonymous lacklustre efforts of the rest--Brandon Moore excepted.According to Grix though we go to a game with Swinton Lions with absolutely no confidence....has it really become that bad..? forgetting the team morale and most of them should be leaving anyway,Hirst has 4 games to secure a contract,so i'd be expecting his gut busting best efforts...

I can understand why your so envious of Bradford bulls all you do is slate them, I watched a game of your on our league app and you could count your supporters there where that few there, your just a set of grubby moaning Shepard’s, with nothing to brag about you have had your issues in the past and will have them in the future, people in glass houses spring to mind

On the positive side, we don't need educating quite as much.

Your - something that belongs to you.
You're - YOU ARE.

You're welcome

Meh probably an improvement on Johnston and JWH but only a slight one.

If we had 2 half backs that can actually pass with fluidity and purpose, we'd be a changed team.

This is certainly a start
