think rinaldi is a kicker

I hope so, because Deacon still won't be playing next week and whilst Sykes is improving, he's no kicking god.

We'll put at least 50 on you next week. Platt should be dropped, he's been shocking so far. Give the youngsters a chance, at least they'll give 100% effort and committment.

I find it strange that Newton has escaped criticism..When the going got tough he completely dissappeared last night...
He's a so called big game player...

Little matter of the poor sod having had to play most of the full 80 for a few weeks now may have had just a teeny bit to do with it.

Perhaps he didn't consider it a big game...

whoa there Lesley!

Seemed to me he was involved with most things that went to sh#t that weren't Platt related last night. If we had the cover I'd be tempted to drop him.

Newton is a shadow of the player he once was. At Wigan he was irrepressible. A constant threat at dummy half. Involved to some extent in almost every play. Probably the fittest man at the club. He was always available to take that try-scoring pass after running fifty yards in support.
