ELBOWSEYE

He is moving to LF next season with Fitzgibbon and Currie SR, that's a decent backrow combination,Powell can't even f#ck that up.

It was similar to kasianos which he received a one match ban, sort of chested the player with his hands down but contacts the head .

Kendall to referee, if I was a betting man lump on Wigan to win by a slam dunk.

They don't see, in the 80s when I coached junior and schools it's not just your commitment with time it was the amount of money you lost through being unavailable for work(when you needed it most). On one occasion I played Saturday tore my calf ,kept in hospital overnight,signed myself out Sunday morning so I could take my side to waterhead for a game.

Are we not allowed a view, and nothing I say will make or break the game, locally, national and international but I have put my time,money and effort in the game from being a junior playing open age coaching in numerous schools and amateur as well as being a season ticket holder and watching international games so without people like me there wouldn't be a game to be doomed.

I am not critical of Melbourne I like watching them and wish the whole area well, I wish we could invest in the sport to the level that Melbourne has had. You obviously have a better understanding of the area so I accept your view.

That's good but how long have they been going, and Widdop was already playing when he left these shores. The other question is do players not taken up by Melbourne go to other NRL clubs in any numbers. I know the more playing the game is always a positive but from the outside it looks like the look of the NRL spread wise is a bigger reward considering the amount of money invested to keep Melbourne a top side.

I wouldn't be happy surely you could have played Friday it's not a tv game.

Come on they have been wrote off and ridiculed, so they deserve to give some back.

Tough for you in semi, saints have a 9 day turnaround Leigh have a 6 day , both Wigan and HKR play Friday.

Are Melbourne really expansion,they don't produce high levels of junior players into the competition, the value is more profile for the competition especially on TV rights deals.

Never smirking, they will lose games but have a decent squad that will(in my opinion get them through enough games). The Saints game is interesting with the semi the week after. Could be the best time to play Saints. Come the playoffs it's a new competition and fit squads and form will be important.

Doesn't play out that way, Warrington have beaten cats twice in France this season even on this run of terrible form, I fully expect Catalan to win even if they play bad, they must be favourites for the LLS.

Must be a mistake on Bridgewater (Warrington) that's a senior school so is it year 8 not u8s.

I'll accept that now.

Saints have won 30 out of 35 games at the HWJ, since it opened. So they would be favourites no matter form.

I don't know after seeing some of the NRL recent results it makes a mockery of every games are competitive, there are bigger scores than in SL, and the gap between the top sides and bottom sides has never been bigger.

Very good

Just need quality centres to feed them

And Powell is Eric Morecambe playing all the right notes but not necessarily in the right order.

Like they say if my Auntie had a pair she would be my uncle.

You are mistaken,that's the get Powell out queue last season.

Seems to cover it all that, only thing I would add is too have some confidence in some of the youngsters when things are not working ie like wrench and thewlis the promise they show outweighs the mistakes they make.

So he's improving

Drinkwater back.
