I think the guy is saying he could have been part of the world cup squad had he been used correctly. We will never know because he has been frozen out this year.

Yes we did collapse but it is the first time really that its happened this season. Also i think one of the reasons it all went a bit pete Tong was after we have let in those back to back Trys to fall behind we were trying too hard to make up for the mistakes which unfortunately lead to more errors. Lets be honest we more than matched a pretty much full strength Hull team at there place for 60 minutes and for me that is not bad going.

Warrington game we lost the unlosable(play the ball david)
could that comeback to haunt us?

Not quite full stength - Kelly, Ellis and Minichello would walk into any SL side. Green missing too so 4 frontliners missing. Very impressed with Wakey this season, still think you can secure 4th place above Salford, that last second brain explosion v Saints could totally de-rail them.

I guess you only have to manage your disappointment if you actually feel disappointed.

Personally, I never imagined that our winning run would go unbroken - so the fact that we've lost a few is exactly within my expectations; it's disappointing at the time to lose any single game - but at this stage in the season, when some clubs are fighting hard to reach safety, and we've got an injury crisis, I don't need to manage it.

If anyone feels disappointed just look at the table and think of the players who will be returning soon.

I didn't read it like that.
The managing disappointment was aimed at players and how they handle things when games go against them.
I think we do it pretty well this season as shown by the games where we have turned the game around but we didn't do it well against Hull.

Yes but he wouldn't have. There are simply to many better players ahead of him in that position. To threaten them his improvement imho would have to have been phenomenal. I like Jowitt but I'm honest enough to see his limitations - one day maybe but not yet.

Think you only need to look back less than two months ago regarding the situation with Jonny Lomax at Saints.
There were reports that Saints may not offer him a contract, as they had concerns over his knee/knees.
Lomax has now been given a two year deal and will benefit fron the RFL's central contracts!
That's disappointing.
