Well, luckily it's the two most unprofessional coaches going head to head tonight. Hope they completely do each other. If we don't win tomorrow, I sincerely hope Saints win at OT.

It was certainly clear cut from were I was sat. Peacock had no chance of stopping the try but went charging in with his knee's, with the only outcome being a possible injury. He can't even use fatigue as a factor because it was in the first 10 minutes. My point is 'those in glass houses & all that........'

I get it, I shouldn't comment on two very questionable incidents involving the same opposition player recklessly risking the safety of the same Rhinos player on a thread specificallyabout one of those incidents unless I first caveat it by covering each and every potentially comparable piece of foul play dished out by a Leeds player. That makes sense. We should do that on every thread, no talking about specific incidents until you've covered everything else that's ever happened.

Thanks for the heads up genius.

Brough is very quick thinking - he has proved that time and time again. He proved that when he joined Jon Wells for the post match analysis when they beat Saints last month.

He knew exactly what he was doing when he went in for the 'scissor' tackle on Hardaker.

If he took the sh|thouse stuff out of his game and had an attitude adjustment he could have been one of the best players in SL. Unfortunately "once a sh|house always a sh|house".

You mean exactly like Brough has just done on Bateman????

Bateman deserves all he gets.
Every tackle in the first 20 minutes he has his head in the opponents face.
He milks the tackle wrapping his leg round the opponents body trying to get a penalty.
Flippin good player but i wish someone would lamp him.

I don't care if Zak doesn't play against Kiwis:
1) It gives him a full off season. This benefits us!
2) McNamara will play him out of position to accommodate little darling Sam anyway.
3) RL internationals are a load of guff anyway

Fully agree on 1 and 2. Although, in reality he has earned the 1 shirt and deserves to play there. Would spare McNamara a big decision though.

Agree with that. Unfortunately for both Brough & England/GB I don't think he's had very good coaches at the clubs he's been at. If he'd had a Tony Smith I think he'd have become a great player rather than a good one. Someone like Smith would massively improve his mentality like he did with Briers.

I do care if Hardaker doesn't play against the Kiwis but that doesn't mean we should take England into account when deciding if he plays in the semi and/or final.

If Hardaker's fit enough to play he should play. If he isn't then he shouldn't.
