Wire's problem is in backs/halves. You look at the likes of Leeds, Wigan and Saints and you can name who'll be 1-7 when all fit. Wire I'm not sure and this has been going on a while. Who is best choice at FB? Who is best choice for wing? Who is best choice for the halves? I'm not sure even Tony Smith knows.

Agree Printer.
At FB we have S Ratchford and Russell who have been really good but finding the right combos
in the 3/4 and halfbacks especially is the enigma.
On the Wire board the combo of Bridge and Penny been mentioned as one which would work well as Bridge is a wingers centre where his vision out wide utilises the winger the best at Wire and he may be the best to utilize Pennys's pace.

Therefore we have Atkins and J Monaghan on the other wing.

The halfback combo as mentioned still hasn't bedded in yet. All the other top sides seem to be settled on this. As much as it pains me to say, I think Saints will take some stopping when Walsh returns.

Yeah we do, had we not had injuries today's backline would have been straight forward

Ratch
Monas
Bridge
Atkins
Evans

Gob
Myler

Penny and wheeler have had extended game time Sith bridge not being fit(which was majorly apparent today) and having lost ratchford early against hull, I know Russell played today but they've been going softly softly on him as he's still having issues with his teeth following that high tackle that wasn't a high tackle against Widnes last year.

Now, why the hell we played him on the wing today, I have no idea as he's an out n out fullback, with Evans out now it should have been penny or ormsby on the wing.

Wheeler was brought in for cover, but now Myler is out for a few weeks after a hernia op.

No. My TV transmission was cut off before it was announced. I honestly don't know who got it.

I would have given MoM to Todd Carney.


The points would have been:

3. Todd Carney
2. Scott Dureau
1. John Zebolone Ta'ia

That comes across as biased to me. Then after the second 40/20 from dummy half they go "Oui oui oui" which is "yes yes yes". That also comes across as biased.

I was being sarcastic. They are fanatically partisan, even worse than BBC Humberside.

But I find their emotional partisanship funny because it is so overt.
