  1. And some of next - following Ashton into surgery so should be couple of weeks behind him if all gos to plan
  2. I heard MCL was mentioned for Oli so doubtful - I reckon we’ll have to wait a year more for the battle of the leyland brothers. Been a few over the years - Davis brothers, mata’utia and obviously the burgess brothers.
  3. Thought he was going well until the injury and kicks and defence were good. Another game littered with injuries for wire
  4. Agree with that tbf. Warrington have not yet played cas or Salford yet either but haveing watched Huddersfield yesterday I would question is WW would have beaten them as they had go forward against KR just lacked rhe finishing move!
  5. Winning an nrl final as a player? Not sure apart from that! Some very singular decisions but sometimes it works and other times are a shambles.
  6. Leyland needs to play to develop - played 1 full season of SL and I guess the hope was to develop under the guidance of Williams, playing some ‘easier games’ but instead he has played Wigan twice! Something odd there and it’s the same with Musgrove, another strange one, he has a good game and then gets 18th and week after doesn't even feature in 21? When you are carrying injuries what is that about? Today trinity just out played them despite them having players out with injuries.
  7. Yeah I did watch it - and agree Leigh pushed well second half but Wigan with a week off were fresher and more hungry for the win. Sad for O’Brien again Wakey missing their half backs still?
  8. I hope they prove to be the exception as all the semi final teams have not been great this week although KR turned up in the 2nd half and out to bed Huddersfield- not so much of a challenge but for Catalan to be nilled was massive!
  9. Agree that they played well last week but sneyd had 3 charge downs and a try through Ratchford- player that made the difference was Vaughan and sneyds kicking imo - also they had help from ipape who was trying to do too much himself and led to loss of structure. Leigh began to lose shape and Warrington do pull together in those games - when in vegas they started appallingly and had that disallowed try and poor tackle on fitz early in but still came back and put together so great moves and then following week went back to Ratchford against Wakefield and they lost but although they blamed the loss on Russell and leyland there were surely questions around who has been the common denominator for subsequent losses or look to blame injury (which have had impact obviously ) ?
  10. Wakefield will win as it’s the same as the first time played with burgess making decisions that he thinks will be popular rather than looking at what works best for the team
  11. While burgess in charge I can’t see him playing leyland - lots of rumours that they fell out? Depends if he is prepared to move on! Dont know if true but as a young player you’d hope Sam don’t punish indefinitely
  12. It’s already been well leaked that sneyd and Ratchford are playing and the word games and squad release is purely incidental - leyland did well and truly enough and tbh never showed difficulty when he played Leigh in pre season or Catalan in SL - it’s suited the narrative to blame him imo as not a local lad and easy scape goat! He needs time and a nailed on position and expectation of either a 6 or 7 to develop his attack - he set up at least one try in vegas and against Catalan and Wigan too! Jake is fantastic as a young player and will be hard for him to be dropped
