I was chief culprit on Dwyer Les and certainly no defender of McD. still think Dwyer is dreadful but as I always said he will always come good every now and again.

He doesn't get to dummy half enough, his distribution is as bad as it gets for a 9 how many passes went to peoples feet or behind them to ground today, defensively weak and nobody in team has a clue what he's gonna do on last tackle but the lad tries he is enthusiastic and some of his quick darts are very effective close to the line so as a highlight reel the lad looks good and to be fair when it looked like nobody was going to step up in 2nd half he did it so full marks to him.

if Parcell goes then we will certainly need a 9 for me but it's all opinions.

God knows how bad we'd be without Dwyer at the moment. He's the only player who seems to be showing 100% effort and actually trying to win games.

Whilst I agree Marty, I am not convinced he is a long term first choice 9 as yet, surely it can’t be denied that when he is not on the field the whole teams level drops alarmingly?

To be frank, currently, he is really our only attacking threat. His stamina however is an issue.

I think his distribution to be fair though is better than other options we have. I also think had McDermott not been so arrogant over the player, he might currently be still sat in his job.

I can’t see Crosby escaping a ban to be honest.

For that high tackle,very harsh if he cops a ban for that.

it didn't look good and with it being a tv game it's more likely to be picked up but I would be surprised if a ban comes from it.

Crosby has done ok for us so far to be fair to him.

A must win game for sure

I agree with your last sentence! As an interchange hooker I think he should always be in the squad, that’s what I meant.

Not posted for a while but throw my opinion in (for what it’s worth).

We are now completely devoid of excellence. We have a couple of really good players, a few decent players and far too many average players, packed out with some crap too. But not one player we have is at the top their game.

1 to 13, I can think of a better player in the Super League or at least a player that I’d prefer. This was not the case five years ago.

I know we’re in a ‘period of transition’ at the moment but I fear that our seasons in the sun are well and truly over. London looked feisty the other night and will be a much tougher test than the surrender monkeys we played yesterday (who still managed to ship 22 points past us).

Anyone fancy Blackpool next year?
