The next two home games after Salford are Saints and Wigan, I wonder what the chances of a home record of "Played 4, Lost 4" are????

No they're not. Wakefield are still in business you know.

You're an athlete mate no doubt about it. Even Harry Kewell had gout and look at him.

Otherwise which ever of us weighs the most needs to take his boots on Friday!

You would struggle to make less impact - would you know Cross was playing? makes you wonder how he got a place every week in the super human NRL?

Re: Cross charged .. : Mon Mar 07, 2011 10:28 pm  

Is it mere coincedence that the two players charged this week were done so after appearing on sky?

Re: Cross charged .. : Mon Mar 07, 2011 10:52 pm  

Don't worry, the 'golden' signing will show his worth over the season - as a very average SL prop, which is what he was always going to be.

Both of these players represent the kind of average (ordinary) overseas signing which is strangling the life out of our game and our international prospects.

Sadly true. Two of our last three overseas signings - Delaney and Cross - have been virtually pointless IMO. Hauraki may well have been worth a punt as he did well for Crusaders last year, but Delaney and Cross have performed about as well as expected. Delaney was a regular but virtually anonymous centre ('solid' in the dour sense of the word) and Cross was a virtually anonymous irregular player.

Cross in particular I don't understand. If we rate Ambler and Amor at all, his spot should have been given to those two to fight over. If we don't, then we should have gone for LMS.
