Only good point (Apart from Dixon's effort) was Gower after the match he does look motivated and spoke some real sense. Lets hope that the hudds game is a good one with
1/ No silly penalties.
2/ A kicking game that turns the defence
3/ Utilise Dixons obvious pace. This will keep their full back from joining the defensive line as they seem to do against Us.
4/ Intensity from the kick off.

I thought there were some decent performers for you last night, specifically Clubb and Dixon, neither of who gave up, and Gower who got you out of jail with his kicking game. You would have beaten a few teams with that performance, and you are still gelling as a team.

A defence that gets players to the ground instead of just leaning on
An attack that isnt frightened to pass to the centres
A game plan that has more than driving into a pack that is more dominant that ours
A defence that comes of the 10 metres with some decent line speed
Tacklers tackling with there shoulders and not there arms
Urgency from the tackler having made a tackle and getting of the ground and getting either into marker or back into the line instead of dordling or just laying on the floor
URGENCY or 80 mins

Urgency and cutting out silly penalties are the key points. Dixon was a big plus.

Think Dixon summed up what was wrong with us. Only time he got the ball, apart from coming in to look for it, was on the forward pass.

I put $10 a week into a "home play-off" fund, to cover my flight back should we get a home Play-off......on the evidence of yesterday, I will be flying either first class, or maybe even in my own plane befoe the fund gets used!

Gutters give your club to Mid April as I am. This weekend is a big game got to be competitive.

Soinded like a struggle on 5LiveSX last night.

Against Hull you were very poor. One man kept you in it and he was the one in green It looked like the one fan you brought quite enjoyed himself. Its time you were cut loose from suoer league, Youve tried for 25 rs and got nowhere The only thing you are good for is looking after retired Aussies. Your franchise should be given to a team in the north so we can all get on with it up here. Rant over

He's reeling....

-20/10.

Some of the team need to ask themselves why it took an opponent being sent off to spark an effort from them.

It didn't, Powell said it was a conscious decision in the team to spark in the second half-His words



What utter boll*cks

I'm not sure which is worse, Powell's inability to motivate the team or his post match comment.

Why should they have to be motivated. They are well paid athletes who don't have to do any job except this one. Don't they feel they owe it to their employer and the fans who pay their wages?

I was thinking of 11th, but Bradford sound so dire that 10th might be possible (provided Salford and Wakefield don't keep up promising starts).

I don't disagree but the coach also has an important role in getting the best out of the players.

Well said....I can't for the life of me figure out why nobody has ever come on here and said that before this.....you really are a leader and a trend setter

Talk about helping to spread the word or should we confine the Super League just to the M62 corridor & barricade you all in. Very narrow minded I must say.

You haven't been here long have you?

Nope and I have yet to see a Stobart RL truck too

seen the first truck today in kent displaying widnes

Scouse truck in Kent- Stolen- Report it to the Police now

predictable but

My worry is which way was it travelling- to Dover or returning!!!!!!!
