It was Partington and on first viewing he might get a match or two but hard to say. Bibby sounds like a precaution.

We just never recovered from the start. The ref was all over us in that start and we never had a spell of momentum in the game really. Some bright moments in the game but we need to hope us seemingly sticking all our eggs in the Challenge cup basket this past couple of weeks comes off.

In other news it’s rare you get one absolute tool in your side like Connor but in Gale and especially Reynolds, they have 3 of the best. It would worry me if I were affiliated to Hull because they put a huge target on the team for the next time sides run across them.

What did Partington do pal?

No surprise all the eggs are in the CC basket, every club would wise they were.

Losing these couple of games puts us off the pace to finish top but I reckon we’ll still be comfortably in the playoffs.

Win next week and losing random away games against Hudds and Hull will be forgotten.

Taylor was stood up in the tackle and he dove in at his legs. He fell awkwardly and it’ll just depend where contact was made.

I meant penalties, errors etc. It seems like we're constantly letting teams off the hook. Did it again today. However, if that perception is wrong I'm happy to accept it.

Irrelevant- I’ll be betting that whoever it is won’t be missing the final- the MRP will wimp it.

Not the way they’ve been pinging players recently

As much as we don't want to lose 2 on the bounce, it's all about next week.

After that, it's aim for top 4 after 27 games and then it's anyone's.

Yeah but bet they won’t ban a player for the final.

He won’t play anyway

And nor should they. I want both teams to be full strength on Saturday.

I've never known a sport, apart from RU, that's so obsessed with banning players.

Give over lad, your normally quite balanced in your opinions, Connor destroyed you today, both teams have had there share of tools playing, I won’t bother naming them, but it comes across as churlish and bad sportsmanship, good luck in the final.

Nothing at all against Hull, the fact you warranted the victory today or even that the trio of tools played a huge part in it. They were all good but come on, level with me, they’re absolute morons aren’t they? Especially Connor and Reynolds. Forget club bias, those two are absolute fools, even their own teammates look like they think it half the time.

I think the fact you say I’m balanced tells you all you need to know. I’m honest when it comes to our own players. We’ve had some idiots in the past but the lads out there today are all pretty decent. I support Wigan Athletic and I don’t mind calling out a couple of tools when I see them. I don’t know if you’re in to your football but Latics have Max Power and James McLean and they’re A Class nobs. Your main two remind me of them.

Nah mate, our lads are also decent, Connor has had his petulant moments, who hasn’t, but no more than that, but moron and idiot descriptions belong with others, and again I respectfully desist naming them.

There’s club bias and then there’s not admitting Connor and Reynolds are morons



Genuinely mate I’m not sure I’ve seen two bigger in all my time. It’s no problem, as I say you were good today, hell they were good (Connor was very good) and you absolutely deserved the win, so it’s not coming from a place of feeling bitter. I can absolutely guarantee you that if you surveyed every fan across superleague and asked them to name the biggest bell ends in the league, they’d come out top two. I’m respectfully pointing out the obvious (they don’t carry their nicknames for nothing).

The worry I’d have as a Hull fan is if they’re good enough and the side is good enough to behave like they do, as it puts a target on the team as a whole, especially when big games come round.

Speak to league fans in Oz and Reynolds is a 'grub' Connor is one of those characters that exists because you can no longer throw a punch.

Every club has them.

I will admit that I’ve just realised I’ve omitted a major player in the bell end of the season award-James Bentley.

Apologies to Connor and Reynolds, they might actually have to settle for 2nd and 3rd.

Think your running out of superlatives now Nicky, what are their nicknames.

Seriously mate, answer me this-do you think they carry themselves well on the field? Honestly?

Five try assists, pretty cool carrying.

Seriously some players do drugs, drink drive, accost barmaids, assault the police, and numerous other offences, let’s put it into perspective, they are bell ends, morons, and idiots. Acting the clown on the field gets you penalised, it’s frustrating, no more.

Jumping in here, Connor is a player who other teams fans hate.He is a g obby player no doubt, but not dirty and does it will a smile on his face most of the time, he winds players up simples. having played rugby i honestly dont know why players bite. just laugh and walk away. anyway it was a good game and hopefully you have no injuries for next week, safe journey down and good luck,

See, you’re letting rugby get in the way of the discussion. We’re not on about that, we’ve covered it, they both played and helped you guys to a deserved win. Go on, be brave and give me you’re honest opinion, do you think they carry themselves well on the field? I’ve put them in a category with James Bentley above, what are your thoughts on Bentley?

I respect characters like James Roby, Danny Houghton, Tommy Leuluai, Alex Walmsley, Morgan Knowles, Manu Ma’u, Liam Farrell, Johnny Lomax, Daryl Clark etc. Quality players, tough, honest, competitive and decent. Reynolds was run out of Oz and Connor can’t get in the England squad, even though he’s plenty talented enough, go figure!

Agree, but like I said....if he mouths off when players like Newton, Lowes, Nickle, Skerrett, Fogarty etc were around and a good punch up was 10 mins in the bin then I don't think he does it with a smile on his face.

He isn’t dirty no, not in the slightest bit it’s all a bit football for me. Take the end of the game, him following Bateman around looking for a rise, knowing he’s got a big game on next week. It’s all just a bit La Liga and a bit sad but it’s his character and you won’t change him.

The discussion was about your unnecessary comments on our players, see my explanatory post after the five try assist post, it determines players who should fall into the “bellends” “Morons” “Idiots” category. Drunk drivers, Drug abuse, Homophobic offences, etc.

Was Reynolds ran out of Oz?
