Thanks 2 wks. Mind you, I'm amazed if that's true that Donny put up with that happening.

Mentioning P.P. there Andy, I saw a guy on the Fev. forum reckons he's been playing rugby union during the winter and he's so fit now he played the full 80 minutes against the Eagles a week gone Sunday and got m.o.m.! Is this true?

You're right there Andy. I always make a point of reading the French Elite report in the League Express and it's often the Aussies or N.Z. players getting the plaudits. Brendan Santi started his Eupopean rugby career at Toulouse I believe and he ain't bad! It's good to hear Clint and Hendo are looking in that direction so let's hope they have some success, sooner rather than later!

Agree with most of that apart from the "now Myler has gone " bit. He was one of the "old heads" you mention that we ain't got many of. We've one less now.

Cockayne, Horne, Edwards, got good service out of them (until Edwards cleared off to Newcastle), but it was in League One. There's a big difference between that and the Championship. Oldham found that out when they played us a few weeks back. They're winning at a canter in League One but we stuffed 'em 46pts 12pts and look at us!

I thought Warrington drew Huddersfield and Hull K.R. drew Wigan?

Agreed Expat. I too am an optimist. Obviously, we've had a lousy start to the league campaign but it's fair to say there are a few legitimate reasons.

Hope you pick up soon Jon. Like Expat says, Pembo's looked upon as a bit of a utility player by Hendo and I agree with you, he's a good prospect, but I reckon he could do to fill out a bit first, especially if we're talking about loose forward.

Instead of who Jon?

As I said, just a matter of opinion.

I think to "rest" A.J. would be like making him the scapegoat for the Donny defeat and even though he had a poor game by his normal standards and made a couple of bad errors, he certainly wasn't the only one. It was the first league game of the season and if your talking of "resting" a player after that I think you mean dropping him and that wouldn't do his confidence any good at all. If you want to drop players for having a poor game half of last weeks team would be dropped this week. Just a matter of opinion of course.

I hope our lads aren't a bit miffed at not getting the credit for their work in defence and making Oldham look poor. Credit where credit's due, I thought they looked dangerous in the 2nd half when we took our foot off the gas and showed what they could have done if we hadn't got stuck in in the first 40.

I agree with most of that Roger but I would like to add I thought our defence was very good for the most part today and was probably a lot to do with Oldham not being as impressive as they were at Barrow. In a nutshell, the Knights didn't let a dangerous looking Oldham get going.

Ata's not in the squad H.K. (Again!) Brad Ward is though so that's another good lad who might be in the mix.
