Which of those players would you say are letting you down currently? From reviews on here Manning is going great guns (although he didn't make any impact against Leigh) and Tangata seems to be having a decent year (who was superb against Leigh).
Just interested to here a revised review of your forward pack after you bigged them up constantly in the off season and yet they seem to have struggled so far even against supposed "lesser" opposition.'"
Calahane's been poor this season IMO and Ambler is overrated can't pass or break tackles.As other posters have said it's back to drawing board now..TBF sometimes e happens just ask Wigan.

You are mistaken I said we had the best pack last year which imo we did. This year I fully expected Leigh to have the best pack which they do by a good ole country mile.
I wouldnt say any of the named are playing badly its just I do not think they are playing anywhere near what they are capable of. Tangata has been our best forward by some distance where as Cahalane has not had the same impact as last season but maybe he got away with it last season with the surprise element but I also think he is carrying a knock. He is clearly capable of better but thats not to say he is playing bad. Manning is quality and probably over a 5 year or so period in this league you would struggle to name maybe more than 1 or 2 players that have done better in his position. Ambler and Moore have both been playing well so its unfair to single any one forward out I just think its collectively they are probably all a little off the form they are capable and we are paying for that.
Lets face it the team in the form we finished last season would not have lost a single game this season, we have had chances to win every game this year and it probably shows how average we have been.

| I think at times our firwRds have played well, they've broken the line on numerous occasions but our follow up support and final execution have been poor. We would have won most games if we had finished well but quite simply we haven't.
Composure has been missing and when you lose games it tends to get even harder to find as you start pushing the passes, time to settle it down, at 18-0 we started to push passes instead of keeping going with the shames plan.

| Quote ="Norman Bates"icon_biggrin.gif Cheers Charlie, I know you have faith in the Fax and are always worried when Leigh come up against us. I think that Leigh will all win this weekend but believe it will be a tough match. Both teams in the hat for the next round, who knows what might happen then.
'"
Very true Norman, I take nothing for granted,and always respect Fax when Leigh play them, Im not going to France as it's my Daughters 21st in 2 weeks we are having a very big Family party in Blackpool ,so the french game has come at a bad time for me, ii may however drive over to the Shay on Sunday to watch your game.
As for Leigh , I think it will be a very hard game, I've for cast a Leigh win but only by 6 ,and im not confident as Toulouse seem to be in very good form, hopefully a Leigh v Fax game in the next round would be good.Have a nice week end. .

| Marshall needs this game to get the attack more fluent and as has already been pointed in other posts, get the support play sorted when the forwards make the breaks. Also forwards look for Greenwood, he is always there in support but they don,t pass to him.

The Lock Lane games always leave you In 2 minds, do you give your players a rest and play a weakened team?Or do you play your strongest team and win in style, as a confidence booster?Or go for a mixture of both?Myself I tend to believe in always playing your strongest team.

| Hey Charlie, after last week's effort, our strongest team may well have been watching from the stands! Tongue in cheek, but a game like this should have a mixture of senior players with some reserve team presence to give them experience. I'd always pick a strong bench (in more ways than one!) in case things don't work out as planned.
