Please can the thread be locked as it was started with a stupid message which does not really deserve answer so we should just let it go

There's only so much Brough can do, surely no one expected him to come back and single handedly beat St Helens?

Brough tried his best, but to be fair Grix really was the weak link on Friday! He's been amazing so far this year, but on Friday everything he did seemed to backfire on him! This just happens from time to time and hopefully Grix will come back stronger because of it!

I just don't understand why we have one bad performance and suddenly we need to blame someone for it!

Just because Scully and Brough have come back from injury means nothing...since they've come back, we've lost Martin, Drew, Stosic and Bibey to injury.

Thats our two stand out performs so far this year (Drew and Martin) and two props who have been making yards consistently! I's be surprised if that didn't disrupt the performance of the team!

Maybe instead of looking for people to blame, we should just accept that with all the injuries we've had so far this year a performance like this was always a possibility!

I'd rather us play badly against Saints, who we weren't expected to beat than against Shudds or C*s!

I am particularly disappointed to see criticism leveled at Sculthorpe for his performance on Friday as I thought he was our stand-out forward. He was our only forward who was consistently making yards going forward and Saints were clearly wary of his ability to off-load.

On his day Sculthorpe ranks amongst the best forwards in SL. If he gets a bit of long overdue good fortune, by staying injury-free, he could play a very significant part in us having a successful season.

We were obviously dreadful, only scoring 18 points against St. Helens, this is the most they have conceded in any game this season, Leeds managed 18 as well, so our shell-shocked, patched up team as is poor as the current WC champions/Grand Final winners, how disappointing.

In other circumstances I would voice an opinion about the game on Friday, but under the current circumstances there is really nothing to say. Anyone with an ounce of compassion will feel that the result/performance on Friday was irrelivent in perspective of the tragic loss of a young man. Still that said and having listened to Mr Walker (a man who I admire) the players need to run fast, think quick and smash into the opposition while the fans cheer with passion. We all need to enjoy the life we have for as long as we are given it. COME ON THE TRINITY.

"In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not whinced nor cried aloud, under the bludgeonings of chance my head is bloodied but unbowed"

Agree with semitone, But not only scoring 18 points against Saints,,
But the only team to score within the 20 minute mark

Dont tell this to fullofhope

We have played all our matches' with as many as 8or 9 players' out every game this season and imo we have punched well above our weight. On friday night as well as having to deal with the tragedy of Leon Walker RIP we have no Bibey, Moore, Stosic our 2 stand out players' this season Drew and Martin are both missing not to mention Brough and TLL are only 2 games back from injury it is also Grix's
1st game back and lets not forget to mention the mighty Saints the best side inS/L for the last 2 years just what do some people expect?

How anyone can complain about Friday's performance is beyond me.

I agree, i notice no reply from the original poster. Had we won the planned Celtic game we would have been top of the league, when you consider the injury situation i thibnk that is a good start to the season. Obviolsy the last two weeks have had a real effect on anyone, together we now move forward and whislt everyone is entitled to there own opinion this is a very strange one.

Lets's all get down to the cup game on friday and do our bit to lift the club we all love

Somebody posted the other day the players played their hearts and not their heads last friday and like any human being their hearts werent (for once) up to it. I for one cant possibly blame them for that.

You all take your opinions and yourselves very seriously.

Maybe because Friday night wasn't a particularly amusing night, and to read anything into the performance is pretty brainless.

hell of a lot more seriously than your opening opinion

Agreed. In fact it was the first time there was not a mtch thread on the game. (Or if there was one I did not see it)

i agree with that if someone plays better then they deserve to be in instead of brough.

why the hell do people want threads locking all the time theres note bad in it. its getting bloody stupid, if you say something someone dont like, its lock it. everything or everyone is not pro club or team all the time, post things and argue your point. this is aimed at wakeytom.

Its not going to be locked, no reason why it should be.

Lock it

Give me a reason under the AUP and i will

5.1

You lot make your own rules up - so I'm told

the aup need to have a rule
lock any thread where mopsey arrives back after a week

now hell slag me off break rules and we can lock it under aup regs!
hehehe

Didn't think Brough had he's best game for us on friday.

The only criticism i have of him is when he runs from one side of the pitch to another to have a go at one of his team mates when they have made a mistake.

Some will call it passion but i feel that it is wrong

Didn't seem to have that in the games before and we seemed to all graft and play for each other.

lets see how it goes on fri and then see if it was a one off

But....... When he makes a mistake it's ok,just put your hand up roll your eye. It is time Danny learnt mistakes by others are not answerable to him and he cannot dish out a ball to the back of the head in the name of passion.

agreed fozzie.

We will see tonight how he goes.

If we can notice surely John Kear can and should be having a word or doing something about it

Apparently he can, and he has. Alledgedly of course.
