Where's Brough!

Just outside Hull, not far from South cave

Berro will be a big loss but as i've said for a while we've not seen the best of him over his time with us.

I'm looking forward to seeing Washy play 9 with Houghton off the bench next week. Will show is what we are missing when Berro isnt there. (if anything)

I don't understand the Washy at 9 thing, He has no place and will constantly get caught at marker although his distribution should be okay.

I've been impressed when he has played there before and defensively he was excellent yesterday. I think he will do a decent job for us there but guess we'll see what Agar goes for. If Horne is back we could go with Horne and Turner in the halves and use Washy and Houghton as the 9s. Houghton cant play 80 imo.

Tommy Lee anyone?

He's injured i believe.

If Houghton plays the ful 80 we will lose the game imo.

I can't see us beating Leeds with Berro and Long both out.

I thought the Crusaders had improved.

I'll believe the Long one when its confirmed. Heard the rumour yesterday about it been more serious but i wouldnt be surprised to see him play on Saturday.

I think with the players coming back in for Saturday like Tickle, Fitz and Horne we will give Leeds a decent game at home.

We'll give them a game but can we beat them?

You hated him before.

You lost by 16 points away with 5 players missing, of course you can.

Doesn't tell the story of the game for me. I honestly thought leeds would score 60 at one point but then they just started to throw the ball around too much and made a few errors and dropped off a bit

Have we already agreed an extension for Berro ?
What if Houghton is given 80 minutes from now on, knock on the head that hooker interchange cack, we utilise that bench spot in other areas and it really seems to work.
Can we offload Berro and his huge wages at the end of this season and find a replacement on half his cash or is it already agreed he is staying next season too ??

Leeds were there for the taking imo if we were on our game. Theyre more than beatable if we turn up.

Thats how I saw it, we just didnt play in the first 20 mins of each half and were very patchy. Just want to see us play with a greater line speed as we did at the start of the season rather than the stand and wait which seems to have crept back in.

As far as I can tell the clauses that needed to be triggered (%ge ganes) etc. have been, so the extension is in place.

We can't just walk away from someone because they get injured, nobody would be suggesting it if it had been a "Hull Lad" or even an English player.

If the rumours about Longys injury been season threatening (hope it is just gossip) then I for one will be suggesting we do English or not!
He is on a fortune

no course not, just give berro a painkilling injection he will be ok

Are you unable to take a post in it's context?

pot / kettle etc

Ah right, now it all makes sense

Houghton IMO hasnt got 80 mins in him, and if he is used for the full game, i think we will lose, for me he just doesnt offer enough, and his little scoots are now well read!
