I have to agree, although I do rate Goulding, positional wise he can tend to look a little lost.

I can agree with that, there's times he flies out the line in Super League and it usually comes off for him, but against the likes of SGI it just didn't work. Although as has been said he had limited help from an unfit Gleeson in the first half. Why in attack the ball was repeatedly given to him to try and get into the corner against Morris I will never know, he had no chance.

The damage was done to our defence long before they got out to Goulding. HH, Tommy, Glees and Goulding couldn't cope with the crossfield running of Fien and Boyd. They pulled our lads out of position time after time.
If that happens against a class centre like Cooper then he'll tear you apart and that's what he did. Morris was brilliant and the two of them carved us up no end. Cooper had one try for his efforts and Morris two. Both could have had more.
StG/Ill obviously knew Gleeson wasn't fully fit and concentrated all their efforts down our right hand defence. Nightingale is a superb winger and he hardly had a pass from Gasnier all night.
StG/Ill are a class act and the level our lads played at was far above Super League level.
Bennett said that our absentees may make the difference and he was probably right. Fielden and Lima were big losses and with Pat and Finch not playing yet we were up against it.
I still believe Lima should have played. His offence was in a SL match and his ban should have been for two SL games. The ARL allowed Brisbane to play Andrew Gee against us in the WCC in 1994, he was in the middle of an eight match ban. Those matches he missed were all league games so he could play in the WCC.
The RFL should have allowed Lima to play.

If he wants to stay he will, IIRC he signed a 1 year deal with a 1 year option in his favour. I think it depends on what offers he gets from Oz.

He did. This is the 2nd year.

I think he meant Hoffman, not Carmont.

Yep. My mistake.

Ben Cohen not been offered a new contract with Sale. Maybe worth a punt for a super league team (not us btw)

Could he play right centre?

SHHH:

I can see this thread sparking into life again, if the mutterings are true, do we have a quota spot available?

Yes we do. Just the one. Amos, Hoffman, Finch & Lima are our current quota guys.

Yes we do.

Quota is 5 players - Brett Finch, Jeff Lima, Ryan Hoffman, Amos Roberts
Were here under the age of 21 (something like that) - Thomas Leuluai, Harrison Hansen - so they don't count.
Don't count for various reasons - George Carmont and Pat Richards.

If said mutterings are true, I'd back Stefan Marsh or Josh Charnley. Give either one a run of games and see how they go.

Are these mutterings the mutterings from a few weeks back (I thought he had paid up) or are these new mutterings.

If they are new mutterings can you pm me the new mutterings

Tahu is not with a club at present?

Would fill in for a year.........if required

Would we be putting too much pressure on Marsh and Charnley for them to potentially share the role? (Should the need arise...)

Any chance of a pm, I'm putting two and two together, think it makes four?

Wikipedia will tell you all you need to know.

Naughty, naughty boy (alledgedly)

Haha:

Pm also? Pleaseeeeeeeee!

PM for me too please.

+ me please!
