Challenge cup : Mon Mar 21, 2022 5:37 am  

To not go all out to see off Warrington in our upcoming game would imo be almost criminal and disrespectful to the history of this competition. To the players who have produced sweat blood and tears for our club , do they not deserve every chance of playing in a final as remote as that may or may not be . I’ve heard that old chestnut of ( let’s concentrate on the league) far too many time over the years . We have a team assembled now who can challenge teams on more than one front , we have a coach who the players believe in . This year may not be our year but we must try with every fibre of our being , not only for the club but also for the players , some who may never get another chance .Hopefully Willy will buy into the iconic nature and history of the cup and put the wires to the sword with another rousing performance. Keep the faith and keep the band wagon rolling I say .

Well, after that match - warrington, they are hurting & their fans are angry towards all at the club ! They will play their secret weapon against us next week, he nearly played in the match against us this last week. He is their big signing NRL loose forward ball handler,
Magouliss, not sure of the spelling, Powell says he is something special & very differant,
Will we have a plan to deal with this, + all their players will be coming @ 100 mph - ww 3 & so I will be there, this will be very physical & very fast !!!

He's hardly a secret. He nearly signed for us.

He’s probably one of the better NRL imports of recent years but I’d say he’s not that special in that the NRL is full of his type which is probably why he couldn’t get a gig over there. He will probably be successful in SL no doubt but he’s not a sort of player that most SL haven’t come across before. It will purely be a case of what level he’s at and I suppose we will soon find out.

Best game ever from him and be certainly looked the part - hope he continues!

The script for these new Aussie signings seems to be try to impress too much on your debut and get sent off. I hope he's read it.

Billy is a good player and a great bloke… never really lived up to his potential at the sharks… got big wraps for a play which won the reserve grade grand final… but never really showed much in he’s first grade career.

I'd say we should be more worried about the other 2 NRL superstars who were playing for top teams in the Playoffs and Grand Finals.
.....oh wait........never mind.

Have to agree. I'd love a cup run but for this year I'm happy to put it on hold. It was a tricky draw to start with and it won't be any easier now. We have a chance but I can't see lightning striking twice, but then again.

Far far more important are our next two league games, both at home. If we beat both Salford and Cas, we drag them into the mire and ourselves out. It's as obvious as that. Two huge season-defining games IMO.

If we lose both we will be scrapping all season and it won't be fun. If we lose only one, then it gives us a decent platform to keep off the bottom. If we win both I reckon we could, injuries permitting, make a serious push for the top six. All down to the players and the kind of season they want. Simples.
