Horo puts in a guilty plea so that he is available for Friday and then is not selected ? Who will play in his key position?
Myler ,Mason and Mounis all took part in training. Why have none of them been selected?
Have we given up on this fixture in order to have fresh players for the cup? Surely it is vital to try to get a home match in the play offs
Can anyone explain what is happening?

Horo is injured. Assume the other 3 arent ready for contact yet

I do also think the hull game is more important than the warrington game.

also at this time of the year worst thing a team can do is play injured players and risk worse injuries for the games that really matter at the end of the year

O.K. on 1st and 3rd points .Totally disagree about the second.The cup -as in association football-is correctly seen-though not watched as the attendances prove-as a less important competition ,and indeed as one which worsens ones league performance,which I shall no doubt have to observe after my trek to Warrington tomorrow.

Its does have the feeling of a match being sacrificed this one.

Brave call from Laurent if so.

He hasn't been afraid to make decisions during his coaching career so far. Though not all popular, this season he has earned the right to pick his team as he wishes.

Re: Wire (a) - Steak and Gidley pie : Fri Jun 17, 2016 10:48 am  

He has always picked his team as he likes and I have almost always agreed that he has picked the best team available.The strong rumour from France is that Casty will play in the second row tonight and that Da Costa and Romano will be excluded from the 17. I am off to Wireland in an hour with hope rather than confidence and I shall report back tomorrow.

Splendid... thank you.

Don't forget the player ratings as I will use them on the website if you are cool with that.

what a performance!! young kids all played well and nearly got the win. bloody pellisier that was so so dumb. what a try that would have been. anyway here are my ratings. i thought bousquet and navarette were immense, carney and albert kicked really well and escare and the 2 wingers were safe and started the sets off well.

escare- 8
yaha- 7.5
richards-7
gigot- 6.5
broughton- 7.5
carney- 8
albert- 8
bousquet- 8.5
pellisier- 5 (purely on that stupid late shot)
maria- 7
stewart- 6.5
casty- 8
baitieri- 7
navarette- 8
bosc- 5.5 (missed the tackle on dwyer for that try and didnt offer too much)
dezaria- 7
margalet- 7

I was at Warrington and agree with all the ratings except for Albert - he dropped a kick off which led to one of their tries so I'd deduct at least 1 for that. Great performance though and really enjoyed the match shame we couldn't hold out for win. Also good to see Richards get all his kicks in and Escare with safe pair of hands.

Re: Wire (a) - Steak and Gidley pie : Sat Jun 18, 2016 12:11 pm  

Once again we threw away a game we could,not necessarily should, have won due to bad individual errors. Albert's dropped ball and Broughton's bad positioning cost us the 2nd try,Gigot,s spell in the sin bin and Bosc 's poor tackle cost us the third. As for Pellissier his clever dick attempt at obstruction created a screen for the first try,his late tackle ruled out a try for us and when we really needed him to make progress near the end he delivered a forward pass
Otherwise I was impressed with most of our efforts.The newcomers were not up to super league requirements but they did their best and made few errors. Others ,above all Bousquet ,were outstanding. The Richards -Yaha combination looks far better than that of Duport and Richards. Escare' s defensive performance was his best for a very long time
Marks Escare 7 Broughton 7 Gigot 6 Richards 7.5 Yaha 7.5 Carney 9 Albert 7 Bousquet 9.5 Pellissier 4.5 Maria 7 Casty 6- Great effort, but he lacks the skill and pace ,which this position demands. Stewart 6 Baitieri 7.5. Replacements Bosc 7-not an idiot-Navarette 7 Margalet 5 Dezaria 5
