OK.
1) Where did you get that information, I haven’t seen it.
2) What don’t you understand about bloody stupid players making bloody stupid decisions in game time. Gale and Reynolds have spent more time in the stands then any other 2 players.
3) Shaull’s past it full stop but there is an alternative, Wynne’s playing centre, INJURIES!!!
4) Your criticism of Kirk is paranoid at least, did he say something bad to your Mum? Or was that Griffin. You say he stole a living but Shaull and Bowden are doing the same plus Johnstone but we couldn’t move them on. If their in the playing pool you have to use them when we’ve got injuries. FFS Carlos has gone now, suppose you’ll bleat on about Mitch now.
One trick pony!!!!

Having now read Hodgson’s comments I find it strange to say the scoreline would have been the same with Connor? He can change a game in an instant. Think he was alluding to the fact that the forwards didn’t get the chance to dominate so chances were few and far between. Hodgson does seem a bit lost at the moment with the injuries but isn’t helping himself sticking with Reynolds. Just read a post saying he’s got his head in the sand, more like his hands.

To me, this decision alone is enough to see him gone. Hodgson must really undervalue SL to think Reynolds could offer more than your run of the mill championship halfback.

I thought when we signed Gale it would be a risk that would work as he always came across as somebody who has a massive ego and would want to prove he still had it unfortunately it's not worked at all and he just looks an angry frustrated player because he has lost it and Leeds were right.

Do you have any theory, why we play our '6' on the right edge,than the left edge??

Most halfbacks have a preference for one side. There can be a problem if both like the same side but that is usually a consideration when making signings

I've never been one for criticising individual players on this forum and definitely not young players making their way in the game but I have to agree with you. Both have had long largely successful careers and have earned a decent living from the game but are clearly no longer capable of contributing at this level.

Going forward it's a major worry that Hodgson after making expensive misjudgements with these two is in charge of recruitment for next season.

May be not
A loss at Warrington would really put him under pressure.
If he doesnt make the necessary changes at half back and we dont see an improvement to the on field indiscipline he may not make the end of the season

Just for some context on our indiscipline issue. These are the penalties conceded by both teams in our last few games:

Cats 8
Hull 7

Wakey 2
Hull 7

Hull 7
Wigan 7

Saints 10
Hull 9

We've conceded the 5th most penalties so far this season.

If you add six agains and errors i bet we are top of the league

Well at least you get your wish of Griffin not playing the next one. One match ban.

Agree with what you say and a loss to what is probably one of the poorest performing Warrington sides during SL then I think that is a question that needs to be asked by AP. Hopefully he learnt the lesson of hanging on too long to a coach that failed to get the consistency in performances and move the club forward.
I have to say after the pitiful performance that the team served up at Cas when they were in a mess on the field I really don't have a lot of confidence of a result at the Halliwell Jones.

Reynolds has always been a right edge player and Gale the same with the left so in theory, it should be a good combo.

I don't like split halves full stop and hate teams obsession with 'finding the 40' to get a perceived advantage in numbers on the open side.
