Well said, and although it causes me real pain to say it, watching Menzies play on Saturday was worth the price of admission alone.

No-one sells a product on that basis though, do they?

Persil washes whiter than white, really?
McLeans toothpaste leaves your mouth fresher than a mountain stream fed by a glacier? Yeah, right! And the rest.
You can't run any business by turning up your cards so they can be seen by your competitors, so that means that sometimes you have to be - I think the expression was - [ieconomical with the actualité[/i. It's just a fact of life and I'm more amazed that some people can't see this, than I am by the fact it goes on.

Btw, I forgot the bloke who says "it does what it says on the tin", he does just tell the truth, but there always is an exception which proves the rule, is there not.

Ronseal "Quick drying woodstain" - Does exactly what it says on the tin

If you want to advertise on the site you need to speak with the Site admin and cross their palm with silver first. HTH

Anyway..............

Does anyone else think Andy Lynch has a glass back which in effect stops him from being able to bend over and pick the ball up from the ground ???

Happened on a few occasions on saturday ??

Is that convincing enough? 7 games left according to that.

Beat Cas away that one's easy, then we owe the Giants one and they're a one man team and he's injured. Next up Warrington who'll be knackered by their Challenge Cup match the week before - beat them. Hull KR at home - tricky fixture as they've started picking up points but shut down Dobson and they're rubbish so beat them. Then Wigan away a week before Challenge Cup final. IF they've got that far we'll beat them as they'll be distracted if they've not got that far it could be two points dropped as has been proved before the full back cheats and gets protection from the refs. That then leaves Crusaders and Wakefield. Those last two fixtures are a bit like feeding the Christians to the lions. Four easy points there.

That's what will happen by and large and you will eat your words.

I love optimism

In fact that post was so optimistic it appeared to break this entire site for the best part of 24 hours

And after a short break, he is back....ladies and gentlemen...the comedy genius that is....the one, the only...MBBB...

Can't believe that Ferriol will only get up to three matches for the worst high shot i've seen in a while. Watched it again on SL highlights and its an absolutely terrible tackle.

Not as bad as Raynor's though obviously....

Just wondering. Shall we go straight on to the "who should we choose when we get the pick in the semi" posts, or would it be best to start a new thread??

I thought the red was harsh. Watching in slow motion really does make it look 10x worse though.

he's got 3 matches for it.

Surely you could see the intent in his eyes though, even from the other side of the pitch/country/world?
It was clear that he meant to knock him out wasn't it?

He had no choice but to try and knock the ball out? Red card for that accidental tackle is just stupid.

Correct decision would be on report. I don't automatically assume that if someone is knocked out it has been done maliciciously and therefore a red card is needed. Players get knocked out in tackles a lot.

He came in with a swinging arm, way to high to knock a ball out and was a lazy tackle that could have easily hurt Donaldson. He deserves the 3 games for recklessness.

a 3 match ban. For an accidental tackle. What a joke.

When you see all those deliberate head shots get let off game in game out. Crazy.

Der Stuka! Tigertot coming in under the radar there.

ATTACK, ATTACK, ATTACK

It's like shooting a convoy of refugees!

<fx: Sound of Spitfire, towing a long banner behind it over the suburb of Ilkley which reads: >

"=#FF0000Head coach Trent Robinson speaking on behalf of the player states that he pleads guilty and is of the opinion that this is unacceptable tackle."

</fx>
But what do they know, eh?

None of my postings above are my words, every one is a direct paste from the Raynor/Tomkins thread from the usual suspects. A quote from me at the time was:

As it happens, guys & gals, Ferriol's high tackle was pretty much text book stuff. Straight red, no messing, no complaints, no doubts. 3 games maximum.

I'm glad I spotted what you were up to.

Good shooting my friend

B*stard i was gonna call u on it but i bought into it. Well played sir

I think I started it, but just too subtle for everyone obviously...

Honourable Mention goes out to Debaser, don't want you feeling left out
