Let’s hope so. Could do with his organisation in defence, covers a lot of the forwards work so players like Crossley have more energy to run. Hope he’s starting 13 too, he was smashing it in that position in pre season. Looking at the team Storton and Oakes to miss out.

Cheers can't keep up when they keep swapping stations

Will have to watch the game when it's on You Tube but sounds like Kear needs to really get a grip of us. Really disappointing result. Had a 9 day turn a round, at home and should have come out and dictated the game. As I said earlier sounds like we're doing all the silly errors we've done all season. Didn't sound like Lilley or Chisholm created a thing again relying on Ryan to get us out of jail. Chisholms goal kicking is a problem that needs sorting (he must be at 60%)

Poor.

Team selection seems weird. Two second rowers on the bench, one on loan prop who doesn’t seem to offer much who went on in the second half and Flanagan. I saw Wood warming up, one of our best tactical/organisational middles who was 18tg man. At one point when they barged over to score there was Storton, Krasniqi and Minchella on as our middles - two of whom are second rowers! Wood must have really ed Kear off! Crossley is not up to form and although can do the minutes gets put on his back every single time which slows down play as does Hallas - at least Kirk finds his front so the halves have something to play off. I thought, when our centres and wingers got the ball they were good as was Garside. Flanagan was a liability! Need organisation round the middle and a better bench, I think changes are needed before Toulouse!

Flanagan at least gives a feeling he could create something. He suffers as do the half backs, with the lack of a pack that can get on top of the opposition
