Cup game - live on national telivision - audience of millions - biggest game of some of the younger players careers: How come the player that showed most desire and enthusiasm was JD - one of our oldest players. Really disappointed with some of the team today, didnt see much heart or fight in many of them. Wigan were not great - we rolled over. Exceptions JD, Danny Sculthorpe,Frank (get fit quick),Petersen. Bibb took his total meters made all season to minus 37 today - cack.

just 1 reply ..u r a to55er !!!!

Don't think enthusiasm was a problem, Wigan were simply the better team, making less errors. But we never rolled over and kept trying till the end.
Hey Ho it's not the end of the world!

Thank you for beating me to it, how about we just give up with the kids he does not think its worth it then in 4 or 5 years when our older players retire we just wont have a team - job done

Agree. Always hard for young forwards and don't normally see the best out of them till mid 20's

I think thats as they are still growing until i was about 21 i was a tiny little rake then all of a suddon I really filled out - and i was drinking less beer then than before

Bit confused Tom!
On another thred you agreed that Bibb was quote "soft and lazy and has been for most of the season" and you say he should be dropped.
Yet you think i am a idiot for saying that on this thred?
Let me know when youve made your mind up.

Sorry not having that. Was not at the game as I was working but have just watched it on i player. No shortage of enthusiasm imo.

You are talking about the team in general here - yes I think Bibb should be dropped but just to let him mature, as for the team in general I think your statement is very sweeping we should let young players mature - this is one of the main reasons as I understand for the Franchise system to allow young players to form without the worry of relegation, he has been given his chance for now but he should get it again
