why should we bin anyone when there is no-one better to replace them? We will have the same situation again next year if we start scrapping players for a dip in form.

We put Bob in the oven for 10 minutes - 180c. He's risen like a fresh loaf.

The one thing i will say about God Smith. Did you see his reaction last night late on when he had the ball ripped out and ref gave a knock on? He was devastated. You could see the passion in his eyes. None of your other players show that. He's playing behind a beaten pack.

Actually in the front row but otherwise fair enough.

I don't agree with offloading him - there aren't many better in this division. Our problem is getting up the pitch in the first place.

Smith is given far too much responsibility, but having said that isn't pulling his weight this year, I'd drop him. Keep all our youngsters, robinson looked decent in friendlys, so recall hims without a shadow ofa doubt

Another thing I don't get is! I don't recall us scoring a try (at least not many!) from outside the opponents 10/20m line this year, yet when we get pens in opponents half we seem to tap all the time even though our style of play and 'skills' seem to say booting it into the corner would work better?

I think we need to get rid of:

Smith
Duffy
Dodd
Gannon
Fletcher (too injury prone)
Hartley (too injury prone)

Do you watch the games Fletcher is a good player just an unlucky yr, Dodd always gives 100% And duffy keep him he is better that Thackeray.

Isn;t this question the wrong way round? Shouldn't it be, "who can we get in and who then weill we have to let go to bring him in?"

Personally I would have Korkidas after doubts to begin with, but we already have a discipline problem, so maybe that may be an avenue not worth exploring, unsure at the more. Need a lot more fire power up front.
I am almost certain that within the next 5-6 weeks, one of our half backs will go. Would like to see duffy stay.

Has the Vikingman, Mark Smith love in come to an end shocker?
We got a good un in Beswick, looks like the Vikings released the wrong player.

Danny Mills - Wasted signing really

Spoke to Danny at Sheffield. He has been fit since the St Helens home game !!!! Should be given an extended run in Gaskell's absence IMO, with Doddy returning to centre in place of Tyrer
