Flanagan really does need to lift his game. I understand that whilst Hohaia and Wilkin are out it's wise to have someone in the team who is flexible - but Flash really isn't offering a great deal.

Sure, as a last-ditch fifth-choice back-rower-cum-scrum-half he's probably better than nothing. But based on his recent performances he's not providing much even before that.

iver never rated flanagan..why they call him flash is beyond me..he's just a mediocre player whose nothing special..

Interesting to see Charnock in the fold! Regardless of the lack of anything flanagan offers, while we have 3 backrowers out he'll get a game. Assuming Walsh is starting and percy is on the bench as has been said:

Makinson
Fleming Ashworth Turner Swift
Burns Walsh
Amor Roby Walmsley
LMS Flanagan
Thomspon

Masoe Richards Savelio Percival

Roby shouldn't be anywhere near the team right now. He was practically playing in a wheel-chair against Leeds. Any other squad member wouldn't have been risked.

It's one thing to play through the pain during the odd emergency. But lately Roby's only ever playing injured. Probably needs two trips to Dr. Feelgood before each game.

I don't know what all that means but I'm guessing your bagging flash. That's lomax and flash you've bagged now.

Not all of our players can be SL stars such are the limitations of the salary cap. Flash does an honest, hardworking job. Like Dawson. Every club gets hammered with injuries and has to dip into their squad. Thankfully, we've got some good lads like Flash who can step in.

Highlighting Lomax's weaknesses (as well as his strengths) is no more "bagging" than it is to say James Graham will never make it as a full-back. As for Flash, I've offered an opinion on his usefulness to the team based on his recent performances. That's usually what people do on public message boards.

Given your private vendetta against Mose I'd think you'd be the last person to accuse others of criticising players.

I don't know what all that means but I'm guessing you trying to say you bagging lomax because he's injured and you bagging flash because he offers nothing (he's only a squad player) is the same as me bagging mose.

You always have a favourite player to bag. For a few seasons it was Wilkin. You obsessed over him week in, week out. It's now Mosoe. I'm sure Wheeler got some attention from you too at some point, a player nearly always injured (he's disappeared from the line up at Warrington I notice). At least Mugwump spreads his largesse to appropriate players at appropriate times. Lomax is looking like his legs cannot cope with the game. That is unfortunate, it is sad, but if this injury is the final straw then he won't be the first to find his career curtailed by injury. As for Flash he worked hard last season and showed some great moments in attack but as yet he hasn't shown any of that kind of form.

Then buy a dictionary. And read it.



Wrong. Again. I do not "bag" injured players for being injured. Being realistic about Lomax's chances - bearing in mind his style of play - after two serious knee injuries isn't "bagging". My criticism of Flash bears no resemblance to your criticism of Mose. For a start - I'll be quite happy to praise Flash should his form improve (as I - and it - did at the end of last season).

Let's put a few facts in the place of your lies.

I did bag Wilkin when he had about 4yrs of mediocre performances. It was notning personal as you suggested at the time but it was fact. Also, I thought he was our player of the year the season before last. Id say that's pretty fair verdict on a player.

I've never once bagged wheeler. I always backed him as injuries are unfortunate part of the game. I did say we shouldn't offer him a new deal last year which based on fact Ms it's a pretty fair assumption don't you think ?

I don't rate mose. He's lazy bone idle and lets his fellow team mates down every single week. He does no one on one tackles. He doesn't make anywhere near enough carries and his avg gain some weeks are laughable for a guy that's so big. He never helps Amor or big Alex out when we stuck in our 20m zone and undsr the pump. On many occasions he hasn't lasted 8 mins before having to be subbed and put on oxygen. I know you like him as he's the lovable samoan with a smile on his face but try telling that to our props when they busted after 80 mins and he walks off hugging any former NRL player he can find on the finsl hooter.

Don't like the facts get in the way of the truth tho girl
