Common sense post..

We are use too hinderance.

In that case Ian,Harpo shall make a return to my avatar.

Fixture planners done us no favours.

The fear is that after an horrendous start we have nil points after 4 games and even worse several team members sat in the stand bashed and broken for the next set of games. We are already then chasing our tails

Club felt the need to seek to bring in a conditioner. Presumably thought was some of the senior lads maybe needed redefining and the younger lads Hopkins/Acton a move up to the next level in order to compete We signed the Aussie lad "to play long minutes". Someone posted Saints and Leeds have small packs, hardly as we will see at LSV shortly. We need that power and stamina to keep us in the games. We will score tries.

Jukes said that we made poor errors and bench did not have any impact. Hansen mainly and Hock looked to be able to compete but not for the duration.Stewart made 32 tackles.

We have a lot to fix. Bring on the Rhinos.

Wire lost to Catalans with Hilly missing,probably the best pack on paper.Long way to go.

Well I thought Riddy wasn't at his best.



We should bring back Acton Higham and Hopkins imo.



Move Mitch Brown to fullback



Rocky on the wing Reynolds at stand off.



We can beat Leeds.



Oh and Maria on the bench for Vea.

Brown at fullback is reliant on Tonga at .Naughton is the winger on board.Riddys not fit.

Totally agree about Maria frank, he looked good in the 2 friendlies, whilst Vea has had little impact so far......

Naughton is a very good fullback who is good under the high ball and is rapid.

To be honest Keith I've hardly seen Vea play before, but because we signed him from Saints, was expecting more. Yes, it's 'early doors' but he's hardly Fuifui Moimoi (impact wise)

All will be well.

Let's just hope for warmer weather - took yonks to thaw out last night

The run of fixtures are perfect for us. We could play to the very last round to get up to speed and we will still not be going to Castleford and taking the points this year. It is time to lower the expectation levels a notch. There are still plenty of fixtures where we are extremely capable and perhaps fancied of picking up points and they come further in the campaign. By then we will have learned and be more hardened to this level.



Castleford were superb in flashes and not many will come away with a victory in their own back yard including our Trinity supporting friend.



I would be inclined however to mix it up a little. Brown needs to move to full back, and I want to see Hampshire's elusiveness in the halves as Riddy is clearley not fit. Hopkins in for Vea and yes time to put Acton on the bench, who I do believe is playing for Sheffield tommorrow.



It is okay putting in defensive players and tackling your hearts out but to win Rugby League matches you have to also hit the line and score tries.



Over all Friday night was not the end of the world. MOM for Leigh ? Josh Drinkwater. He was pivotal in what we did well. A good scrum half and not out of place at this level.



We are not SL top 8, but if we remain relatively injury free we will not be going down either and that would be job done this year.

Love it Derek.
