Our season is not defined by what we won but what we lost. 30 rounds are a pre-qualifier for the 2 games that mattered. We blew the 1 game we had. We blew it big time. The worry is that we will have mostly the same team next year but some of those will be a year older. The bigger worry is that despite bottling every big match for the last 5 years we are still offering cream-puffs like Kopczak contract extensions.

Our attack is too slow, by the time the ball gets out of dummy half the defence is in our face. Our defence is too slow. 2 steps forward and then stand still. If someone comes out of the line and tries to make a tackle then the other 12 players stand around watching while the tackled player has an eternity to offload. Finally our forwards aren't, as a group, aggressive enough. In the example above someone should come across and put their shoulders right in the players kidneys, even if he offloads he's gonna be pretty ill. We should be hurting players in the tackle not cuddling them to the ground so they don't chip their fingbernails. We don't have any support runners. Our players take the ball up in ones. Watch Leeds, every ball carry there's 4 or 5 options following up. That gives us no second phase.

We don't bust tackles, the lowest in the top 8. 310 less than Leeds and 100 less than Catalans who are the 7th placed team. The lowest average gain of any team in Superleague. Only Salford made fewer clean breaks than us. That's 100 less than Leeds (which given we only made 111 is pretty bloody woeful). Those stats paint a picture of what's wrong with the club.

I'm glad you think that that is "cracking". For me it's a miracle we finished 3rd cos they aren't the stats of a top 3 side.

connor to full back

but even then we may get to the semi and lose again. deep down felt we would lose at wigan as been let down so many times before

Expect a big announcement on Jermaine's future tomorrow.

Generally agree with the majority on here. I agree about Connor at fullback. Lots of creativity, not sure about Wardle back to centre, would rather have Murph with Jodie on the wing but that ship has sailed unfortunately.

Plus it's about time a decision was made on Connors position. Whether he eventually replaces Grix, Brough or Wardle he needs a specialist position to flourish and reach his potential, I'd let him choose where he prefers.

It worries me how much of a turnover we have had in players this year, much more so than in the recent past.

Another centre/winger whereever they come from would be great for competition. Wardle starting to look more and more a second row, as he seems to be more suited to crashing over than supplying a killer pass when theres someone in space.

thought it was sorted weeks ago and signed for five years like he said got to look after my young family
