ELBOWSEYE

I hope your overconfidence leaks over to the players a semifinal is a completely different game and nothing before will matter and both clubs will have to take care with injuries leading up to the game. I am not overly concerned by yesterday's loss with regards to the semi but more concerned over our league form. But as Leigh proved last season it's the finish that matters not the start.

Well they didn't but we are in charge of our own destiny and will finish were we deserve., just need to lose next two to give you so much overconfidence for the semi.

Harry I have noticed Warrington have named a 17yr old half back who is a former Leigh miners junior in the 21 man squad, do you have any knowledge about him.

Now Harry don't get to giddy you will do yourself an injury at your age.

I find the poster becomes obsessed with his posts and bombards people into submission, I gave up replying it was pointless.

Maybe Moran has given him use of a boat on the mersey or ship canal.

This is the last response to you on this, it's my opinion, your opinion is no better qualified than mine , I accept you don't agree with my posts on this subject you will have accept people don't always agree on subjects.

I am not saying I would (I just watch the game) but listening to regular pod casts from former players and coaches and historically they don't pick English based players. The closest is Langer back to SOS for Queensland.

Because you keep quoting this doesn't make it right, Ponga has played six for Queensland and Mitchell is playing for souths, but there are plenty of others to they would select before French and I am not saying I don't rate him(I do) it's just they don't (no matter how many times you say different).

They would play Mitchell or ponga first, I don't see how people can not see they don't rate halves over here where ever they are born. No matter how many times posters on here wax lyrical about French the main people who select the kangaroo squad won't have him in their thoughts so rubbishing what I write only makes those posters happy.

I thought that was a side issue, Hull were deserved winners, more worrying for wire is they were given plenty of opportunities in the second half and never looked like taking them.

Not my call, but he went back on with the backs back to normal,Currie back in the pack ,there is plenty of cover. But aren't most props daft.

Not strictly correct, it was the society they registered in not were they were born, at Crosfields we had a lot of referee's involved with the club some born in Wigan but registered in Warrington, they officiated in Wigan games when those rules were used. Jack Smith played for Crosfields a Warrington amateur club so it's makes no difference.

Lindop missing after playing with a broken jaw, Vaughan amazingly playing despite his bone coming through the skin on his finger, King,Thewlis are back so normal back line is restored. Wire by 10.

I like watching him(not against Warrington) But the general consensus is that ours is an inferior competition and some players will thrive better in SL because it's not a week by week intensive competition, there are to many easy games. Lewis Dodd was a young half at the time playing well with an impressive Saints side, since signing he has lost form and is nowhere near a start in the NRL and will follow lots of backs who went over and return within two years.

I think you got that spot on, he isn't being offered a NRL deal and there's a shortage of quality halves in aus and that's why they get top money and the he's under contract means nothing as Wigan find out on a regular basis.

I did and agree with myself

Not in the top twenty, absolutely no way any of those would make the playoffs. To compete over a season they would have to increase their cap massively, grow their junior set , have fully fledged reserve sides playing in a competitive competition, we can't run a truly competitive league ( only four ever winners over 30 years) produce enough players to run, SL ,a reserve comp and every SL side running academy sides. And the nrl cherry picks the best English talent( mostly forwards, only three backs in recent times have held regular places,( Williams, Young and Farnworth ,the last two taken earlier in their development)

I am not saying he's not one of the top players over here, just that the nrl doesn't have your opinion, please don't get carried away with the victories of SL winners over penrith, (and I do cheer our teams) the game is mainly pre season for the majority of NRL teams, do you honestly believe any SL team would even make the playoffs in the NRL

He could earn a lot more in the NRL on a basic contract, he basically gets more freedom to use his strengths in SL. Any Aussie who believes they would be a regular in the nrl does not play SL ( except players at the later stages of their career)

Not a hope in hell french will be selected, they just don't think he would be successful in the NRL.

Confident Catalan will beat HKR are you Harry.

Yet ultimately his goal kicking won the match.

No idea who wire will Play in the centres, whole new back line last week with two 18yr old wingers and a 37 yr old utility player at centre. Possible Tai may be back any other would be a bonus.

Wasn't there three Dave,Eric and Les
