correct on every count

The team we had out on Saturday are more than capable of beating Widnes and several other SL teams , so no current need to bring in anybody right now , we played poorly , we will play better next time , knee jerk reactions after every below par performance aren't what we need , we are now playing in SL and have been competitive in all but 1 game

Chill pills required

We were ok in the last 20 mins at Cas. We shud av beat Leeds but didn't we then beat Wire Saints and Hudds who are hardly at the top of their form.

Second half at Wakefield our lads were very bad as they where on Saturday.

Frank , we were better than Cas for the first 18 as well ' let down by a lack of composure

Second half at Wakey we lost Drinkwater and were on the back of some dubious decisions

Competitive in all the rest

Sorry I think Green is a good player , each to their own I guess .

Indeed Keith , but fortunate that a season isn't one and a half games either , so no need to throw the baby out wi, well you know the rest

God forbid we'd have had the start of Widnes or Wire , massive overreaction to some poor form , I've faith in all our players whoever gets the nod , and faith in the coaching staff to sort out our problems

Do I think Chase was a sensible signing or a publicity stunt ? , probably the latter , and perhaps while not something I'd want to see long term I'd be happy to indulge our benefactor that one time

Pity we didn't get Jarryd Hayne for the 8 s , but ultimately we got what we wanted so I'm happy with that , I'm sure Dereck like everybody is still learning

I've lost track of this topic, why are we criticising our owner? from where I was sat on Saturday, he didnt appear to be in the 17 out on the pitch!!!
Im a bit sick of hearing how other teams have players missing, Cunningham,McDermott and Betts amoungst others!
Looking to my left in the stand on Saturday I could see the following players; Glen Stewart,Willie Tonga,Josh Drinkwater,Cory Patterson,Antonia Maria,Eloi Pelissier,Gregg McNally and James Clare ! Thats eight players who, had they been available would have been in our seventeen!!
Its all right buying new players however, these guys are all on Contract salaries and there is only so much spend !!
When you here other clubs moaning about injuries suspensions etc.... just remind them, we too have got our share and we've got on with it!!
Lets show a bit more respect on here for the investment our owner has put into this club, without him, we would not be here in SL!!

Anymore injuries and there wont be a choice other than to bring others in.Similar to last season the sick board is filling up,add suspensions to that and you have real problems. Thats not moaning,thats fact.

Simple question Atomic , was the team selected on sat good enough to have got a win against Widnes if they had performed as they have in other matches ?

Of the list supplied by Kirkhall along with others like Lachlan Burr , some can return now and others will follow , so ATM we still have a squad capable of contesting matches against most in SL

That may change , and I'm sure there will be a contingency for that eventuality

On paper,yes Ste. In reality no. The facts show without Drinkwater we struggle.Riddy has very little game time under his belt this season and not fitting into the role seamlessly at present along with others. Now the question is given Riddy needs more game time do you play him Friday? Even if Drinkwater is fit!

Granted the injury scenario isn't helping,but I do feel at present the coaches need to think out of the box a little on who is playing where.Consistency at present can only be gained by having a consistent squad in consistent positions. If that comes at a cost then they know they have no option but to strengthen.Players in stands don't win games.

Why not bring AJ inside to centre & let Naughton or Hampshire have a run at wing ? I mean, AJ is a big lad, built like a centre & tackles like a centre (apart from last Saturday), that way Mitch can go to FB where he has done a grand job so far.

I too believe injuries are hurting us, got to look at those out & say most are 1st choice players, though I also agree that the 17 from Saturday could have killed Widnes had they applied normal standards & smarter play.

Won or not, Widnes are [i'P00P'[/i & headed for rock bottom.

Not Derek's fault either as someone else has said, down to the 17 on the pitch.

Interestingly, Gaz Hock apologised on twitter for letting the fans down, that despite him being one of the few leaders that played & battled hard for a win. Matty Dawson also tweeted about hard work to do. Gaz was one of the very few who don't need to apologise for that display on Saturday & Matty D another who at least worked really hard.

Ah well, Dragons on Friday, they are a big set of lads, any more of that slap flappy fairy tackling & they will steamroller us.

I have a feeling that there will be a [i'very different attitude'[/i for Les Catalans

Oui.

Give that Cat a game.

Ian, He's playing for [uCAT[/ualan.

PURRRRRRRRRFECT

Beltin.

Of course the 'team selected' was good enough to beat a Widnes side, without a win, and missing 10 regulars.

But it wasn't good enough,was it..

We won't see Josh till Easter at least , so Riddy and Ben again with Stewart replacing Jamie

Give Riddy more of the last play and we have a chance, be surprised to see Weston

Well it's time for Riddy to shine..

We scored 4 try's , Riddy assisted 2 , the other 2 were carbon copy's , Reynolds-Hampshire-Crooks

Q. When did Dayne Weston suddenly become a bad player ?


A. He didn't.

Most were singing his praises last season, he was our best prop & still is one of our best forwards. Might not be at peak fitness or in his best form but class is permanent & Dayne has it.

Anyone forgetting Salford at home in the Q8's should go watch it back. A harder runner in this team I have yet to see.

D.W will be back & he will contribute to wins, of that I have no doubt
