A half is needed most.but can't see it happening now.Masoe is a big bonus plus the injured players returning.We could have enough as it stands.

Ellis seems to pull his finger out in the big games well against Leigh anyhow, for me greenwood and minns will be like new signings seems an eternity since they played.

Fair points..Watching Widnes tonight they apparently have 11 out.Chase Hanbury aside who would we want in our side?hemorrhoid?no we have 2 better hooker.O'barrell is similar to there pack players now. Very average .Well organised side but very limited.Was thinking Catalans and Leigh may be most vulnerable but Widnes look far worse than our team that got relegated

Would take joe mellor, Thompson (whose off anyhow) isn't heremai injured? I can't stand Widnes fans they're on par with Leigh, I wouldn't even want chase tbf. Looking at them and Leigh I agree our squads better then the side that went down and their sides aren't any better as you say if not worse....

Watching Warrington v Widnes.Both playing very basic rugby and still lots of errors. Warrington on paper still look good and Hiku stands out but losing at half time. Will be different circumstances and pressure when we play them but they are far from unbeatable

widnes aren;t a bad team but have had massive injury problems all season. 11 missing tonight I think they said including a couple of half backs, a full back and his deputy and both thier first chocie hookers. if they ever get near a full strength team on the field they will be OK in the 8's but it's a big if. leigh are the worst team in SL IMO but it will be interesting to see if mortimer can improve them. I still think you'll finish above leigh and probably widnes unless their injury run improves significantly

Re: Lead Balloon... : Thu Jul 20, 2017 9:21 pm  

I've never had a problem with Leigh fans and drank with a fair few over years. Salford and Widnes for me but fair few groups of fans find both Hull teams bad for trouble at away games and it's often just few nutters full of ale . Mellor was good jinking through the line but didn't organise much.Widnes were very poor and Warrington took 60;min to get over them so they aren't firing on all cylinder either

If only it runs that smoothly my friend.... knowing us we will end up in the mpg and bomb it.... then we are royally fooked!

Overlapped posts.. even with players back for me it's only Chase Hanbury that offer big improvement. All conjecture at moment but will pan out very soon

Chase turns it on when he can be arsed not a player I would want, as everyone's probably read Acton will play no part this season for Leigh and I think that could of been a huge boost for them if they are to play the mpg. Be good if greenwood can get somewhere near his form last season....

What I want to see Is rovers win enough so we do not have to be in the MPG and in that game London play Leigh and London win

I think Acton is due back for the last 2 M8's and the MPG if they're in it.

Widnes have Heramia and Ah Van gone for the year, not sure on the others. Chase is Chase and wont organise anything but can give that moment of magic.

As it stands if Toulouse get in the M8's Widnes play both them and Cats away, that will be far from ideal for them. Just hope Jon Wells prediction is right
