A vast improvement is needed to take owt from this game. A banker you would have thought at the start of the season but with our displays to date who knows. I'm thinking a tight first twenty minutes and then hopefully we will finally find our feet and get going. I'll go for Fax 32v14 Lions.

The way performed against Batley and then last week, Fax by 8. I think our points difference this season, like last, will be of some concern.

Probably muddle through this and the week after.Hope theres bags of improvement with Toronto and a promoted club,sadly way ahead of us at moment,to follow...

I see little in recent performances to excite me about the game or our potential performance. Whilst I am sure Fax will win hopefully I'll see something to encourage me.

Ben Johnston back in squad-not sure what that means as no pivotal absentees...looks like Barber/Kidd dropped from last week..not sure how fair that is as game was lost while they were on bench and no-one saw second half..

No idea what will happen based on what I have seen recently.
If as RM says they have all had a good get together to address it you would have thought the motivation will be there.
Whether the application is will be seen on Sunday.

I'd be surprised if you lost to Swinton.

I'll go with Fax trying to improve their discipline and making some progress but still giving a few too many penalties away.
I see our main threat coming out from deep with Sharp, Salty, Robinson making the yards to set up the field position with the chance of getting some points for on the scoreboard.
From all accounts Swinton have a decent attack and played well against Toulouse so it will be an interesting test of our up to now leaky defence.
Fax to win this one by 16.

Apologies. I didn't realise how bad you are.

I've never been a fan of Marshall' s and I think we've been poor since the second year of his tenure. His inability to develop the squad/team and his poor coaching have been somewhat hidden by fluking the top4 in the last couple of years. We've been consistently inconsistent, played (in general) mistake riddled one man rugby and failed to kick on in spite of bringing in an extra £1.5M in prize money during his time. This year he has arguably spent the most he's ever had and put together a poor team with too many journeyman... Time to go or be shown the door for me but I've been saying it for 1-2 years now and I fear were too skint to do anything about it....

Players raise the bar when at least 1 DR is playing.

Well if we used one of our seven lives against Batley at least 5 of the remaining 6 were used today.

Should you not have 9 lives



All in all looks to be very competitive league, even Toronto not having everything there own way

I really do not know what to say, we have scraped 2 home wins against 2 below average teams. It really does not bode well for the season. Today was dire.

May not be pretty at the moment but your getting the points, do you not have a habit of improving as the season goes on to peak for what would this season be the play offs - or even be a dry pitch team.

Murrell and QLT to be dropped.

I'm usually the first to stick by Murrell as it's clear to see when he's not on the pitch, we crumble.......but Jesus Christ, he's been dire.

QLT I'm sure will come good when the pitches dry up but as it stands, he's a liability at the back and a couple of assists over 5 games doesn't warrant him taking that spot.

Either stick sharp their or try out RCS. White in for Murrell and see how we get on.

Next week is the opportunity to try it out but then again, Dewsbury will be in high spirits after their performance today

Today was utter tripe! Thankfully we had Grix to save us. Unbelievably bad.

The clear the air team meeting last week obviously went well....

kidd played for hunslet n scored.

So was dropped then..White and QLT halves next week and Sharpy at full back.Johnno on bench as cover half/hooker.Would hopefully solve a plethora of glaring problems.

I've been saying for a couple of seasons that Scott is past it. For two seasons he has proved me wrong, but I feel this season may be a step too far for him. A great Fax player but everyone has their limits and perhaps it's time for him to step aside.

I agree 100%, and I've also been saying it for a while, and been wrong. I suspect however he is on a salary that assumes both playing and coaching and there would be no cash saving if he stopped walking around the pitch.

Nothing wrong with walking around the pitch. Tubbs made a career out of it.

You need some big bruising props so any halve can play to their potential, agree that Muzza is at the end of his career but it not a coincidence that his performances over the years are linked to who has been setting the platform for him.
They all give it a real go but we’re not big enough in the front row, it’s showing there, with Muzza and across the park generally imho.
