Well I couldn’t last so sorry I’ve broken my own embargo, what a dope I am for ever thinking I could keep my trap shut.

Anyway was talking earlier to a friend of mine who’s is an ex SL player and has coached bit. He’s not Wayne Bennett but he knows more than me or anyone on this forum.

So his opinion on our team.

We have too many players who are really good at training.

Hope I don’t need to explain what he means by that, I think it’s pretty obvious.

yes there is to stay within budget

So why waste money on players we don’t need?

Don’t sign players who don’t improve us just because they are available.

Better to save the money and blood our own than bring in the likes of Lineham etc.

personally I think both Gaskill and Lineham are past their sell by date but you can't knock them for experience and past record can only put it down to that and cover for injuries we need a good solid prop and leave Battye for reserve and cover and yes the young ones do have to learn and quick

That’s fine but if you can’t rustle up 17 from the 30 then you’re stuffed.

Put things into perspective at this present time with the teams I’ve watched only saints would compete n beat Wigan . Wigan are on a roll , we sent a weakened team , any other team in super league sending a scratch squad would end up the same , look at saints at Toulouse for proof , even they came unstuck
