So who in your opinion is responsible for managing the ego's in the dressing room? Who is responsible for team selection, who has a major say in recruitment, who should be held accountable for this?

All issues you raise, and i await your reply with interest.

Regards Hanley i think he is the man as he will instantly command respect from the dressing room, something i do not think Noble or Millward prior to that ever did.

As i said above i await your response to the points raised with interest rather than slating me and not adding anything to the discussion, can you manage that?

The bit in bold shows what little clue you have if you think one of the greatest players the game has seen "talks a good game".

i am sorry old wise one i thought we were on about from a coaching aspect???, not a playing one???..as for adding anything to the discussion regarding yet again your favorite person Mr noble!!..i feel that there is no point as regards to what i or anyone else says about him as we are not the ones who's programme he didnt sign....you are clearly the one with the issue!!!..as for the ego issue. your answer is to appoint a man who had one of the biggest ego's in rugbyleague in his time to take control of a dressing room full of ego's???? ...good night son!

Jonh,
My concerns have been well documented re the Timmy Tommy partnership.
I have always thought that they were similar players and if they were going to play together than we would need big, strong, fast players outside them.

Smith was superb last night, his choice of pass ans kick was exquisite. A fit Karl Pryce (Keith Senior, Gary Connolly, Paul Newlove, Inga) type Centre would have had a field day.

The solution maybe to play Sam at 6 , and Tommy at 9 with Riddell.
But where does that leave McIlorum?

On loan/fighting for a spot or at another club. In theory form would dictate, but if it does is another matter.

Shock horror, unable to answer the question.

Who better to appoint than someone with a bigger ego than the lot of them? A dominant figure stamps out ego issues. They come in and take control.

You raised issues that need to be delt with by the coach, and then try to deflect away from your own points that you raised.

I await an answer to who you think should deal with the ego's in the dressing room, who picks the team and who plays a major part in the recruitment of the club? All issues you raise.


I think it is good you are going to bed so you cannot talk yourself into another corner. If you have the nouce to be able to answer the questions raised i look forward to continuing the discussion, i do not think you will though as you cannot.

Night night. The membership badge is in the post by the way.

I want us to lose for the good of the club.

We have the team and the squad to compete. We have a squad capable of winning it, but under the current coach we have no chance.

I have thought for a while now Jonh you are a fool now you have just confirmed it

Friday i will not be attending the game.

To answer the rest of your post i do not really cheer, i applaud good play from both sides, whoever is playing, and i certainly do not boo.

What this has to do with anything i do not know.
