I don't normally take against players of other sides but Mikey Lewis is a drama specialist isn't he?

Lewis is one of those players you’d love to play against. But his time will come….I’m sure a couple of big lads have his name etched in their fist

Agree on the recruitment. I wasn't a fan of signing Dixon (age and we had Watkins, Stone, Wright, Hellewell, Longstaff, Lannon, and Greenwood on the books for SR) and Sidlow, in part due to age, but also because almost hjs entire career has been played in the Championship and to sign him at 35 for SL was a poor choice. Contrast that to Leigh signing Mulhern who wasn't wanted but is younger and hungry. I hope we retain Hellewell too. He's never let us down though we still need more grunt up front. Pure props: Singleton, Ormonroyd, King, and Sidlow. SR who played prop: Wright and Hellewell LF/Prop Hybrids: Partington and Gerrard I don't know much about Championship forwards but surely there is a prop worth a shot? Recruitment is done for many teams so from players over here I can only see the Championship, loan market, or Wakefield's squad as recruitment options. We don't know which Wakey players have relegation releases but the options are: Whitebread - likely to a 'bigger' club unless we can offer the financials. Eseh - Raw but has a lot of potential. He could be in demand but I think we could offer him more minutes and development than many other teams. He's one of the players who may not have a relegation break in his contract. Tanginoa - A hybrid player but he's been injured this season so there is a risk/reward balance there. Battye - Works hard and I'd definitely have him over Sidlow Atoni - Doubt he'd be in a lot of demand after a poor first season but it wasn't exactly a good squad to come and settle into for your first year. Maybe Rowley could get the best out of him and he's a big lad. Bowden - Plenty is SL experience but been injured this season. The key will be using are quota spot on a prop couple I have in mind if we could get esah great because I believe he could be a top end prop other than that I like the look on Lewis beinek and domitri bis scarp both younger props with a lot of size |

Maurice (& Worsley) you make your points re Rowley & the signings frequently. Nothing we can do about it now and furthermore (re Greenwood, Sidlow, Gerrard & Dixon) we don`t know about their current fitness levels. What we do know - and I and a few others on here understand - is that with Rowley - he gets his team and personnel to play a certain kind of way. He is successful in this style and the figures prove it. He has never coached a frontline club yet his win : matches played is a staggering 73%. For me he is a must at the club and we need to get our fans 100% behind him and his methods. Talking of a group of your fans who felt the need to come into the East Stand at the end of the game and kick off…10 arrested, 8 Salford and 2 KR. 😡 I've seen one name mentioned and the "fan" in question is clearly visible on one of the videos doing the rounds online. He was stood right next to KR fans in North Stand. No idea if he made it into East Stand afterwards though but if it's him then hopefully the club will issue him with a lengthy/lifetime ban along with his mates once it's clear exactly what took place (and I'm talking police evidence here and not trial by Karen on Facebook🙄). No need for that behaviour at a RL game (or anywhere TBH). I was on one of the D&P coaches and to say there were a few "special" fans on there would be an understatement. F*ck me there were some right balloons who made the trip. |

But his time will come….I’m sure a couple of big lads have his name etched in their fist The talent of other side's players never bothers me TBH, but after the least harmful head tackle I've seen in decades he played it for all it was worth ... not a good look at the best of times.

Lewis, Brierley, Atkin, Myler.... there's 4 names for starters who try and milk it at times. I'm sure between us we could name 30-40 others (including those big tough guys who play in the pack!). The players need to take some responsibility as it's effectively cheating and as we've seen in football it's ruining the game. |

I wasn't talking about milking it SS, I was talking about throwing the ball at a player and what went on beyond that.
There are two common phrases and ideas the notions of "milking it" & "no real intent" which are over used, there is almost no evidence for, and neither "ruin the game" nor "make it a laughing stock" and yet they are always there or thereabouts with the other two.
The cheating side of the game has been around longer than Adam, won't be going anywhere anytime soon and will see you and I off this mortal coil and apart from being the butt of a bit of Pub humour won't raise an eyebrow.

I'm surprised it's so few given the way the game played out.
I've always been a fan of marching arguers another tem metres but interesting when it's applied.
I thought it had gone out of fashion like sailors, harlots and "the flop" at the ruck!

Apparently it wasn’t given for that after all …it was for the tackle on Walker without the ball…which just seemed dumb to me…he just got dummied
V odd
The runt Lewis can lash out, pretend to be hurt, continually play the tough guy and not a squeak

I give up. The same ban that Lees got for attacking Wright off the ball resulting in a season ending broken ankle. Lees didn't even get a yellow card.

Just making certain that our last, feeble chance of a play-off place disappears. Warrington had best open their champagne now, because they won't have anything to celebrate in a couple of weeks. |

At least it’ll cut down our penalty count, keep 13 on the field for the whole match and wake Sidlow out of hibernation

It was a great tackle apart from the small matter that the player he hit wasn't in possession of the ball! A penalty really should've sufficed as it wasn't late, wasn't high and certainly wasn't malicious.🤷♂️ |
