Centre is quite possibly the hardest position in which to defend. Taufua has played all but a couple of his 1st grade games on the wing, it’s a big ask to ask him to come in and try turning our season around in an unfamiliar position. I’d be putting him on the wing with Batch at centre.

Never mind if Willie can coach Scarlet , can the players put in an 80 mins performance, that’s what I’m more bothered about , you can bust your nuts off on the training field , but if you don’t get your head ready for the fight on match day , it’s all a waste of time . Yes he’s made some dubious positional choices , but the bottom line is they are payed professional players and as such should play with passion and pride for their club week in week out , it certainly isn’t asking too much from the fans .

Brimming with positivity as per usual

No it’s called reality based on having the worst points difference in SL.

Taufua has more experience at centre than Batch



All I know is that summat has to change

Not sure about that. Batch has played at centre a number of times over the years. Seem to recall he played a number there last season towards back end. I read Taufua was a winger that has probably played only a handful of times at centre.

Not that it matters. We just need whomever plays there to do the business. Whether that’s Batch or Taufua.

Using the royal we then, we have only had the worst points difference for 3 week, so do you think that is the amount of time it will take.

I don’t even use the word WE but sadly you can look at our defence over the last few seasons but that involves having an interest to look which is not one of your strong points. He could be the greatest defender but when there are two running at you it is pretty irrelevant wouldn’t you agree.

I regularly back against us when we are favourites just to try and put the kiss of death on to our opponents. I'm not sure whether to continue with this strategy or switch to backing T.O. to win every week?
I had £50 on T.O. at the weekend @ evens and now have the dilemma of bulking onto either Hull KR to win or T.O. to win. Have to wait for the odds to help my decision.

Well look what we have here

Yes but that was not the one quoted was it, I replied to that. I would suggest you be a little more specific in the future to avoid you looking silly.

Plaster for every sore springs to mind here squire.

How about “we are all in this together” a popular slogan at the club which I hope settles your clouded mind on the use of the word WE. I wouldn’t want you going through life in a fog like haze on why I used the word WE, which clearly troubled you.

Nothing troubles me captain and I certainly don't go through life in a fog like haze.
There are confusing signs regarding you if I may point them out
Firstly there is the club, the board of directors, why is it that you criticise them at every possible opportunity not once publicly showing your backing for anything they try to do
Why do you always criticise the coach and his staff, every game you complain about his team selection, yet you haven't been near the ground for 3 year.
Why is it the players never get it right even when we win and there's always criticism on most players, simple question really, why do you bother at all coming on here, after all it must be quite painful having to watch it all on Trinity TV arguing with genuine fans who have the desire and the fortitude which you plainly haven't, one thing was is always missing from your posts, that's encouragement, don't bother with a half baked stuttering reply saves you any embarrassment

Can't agree with that. He's played centre more than a few times. However he is a wide back where as Batch is a forward. Batch has had one good game at Centre, he's had far more stinkers.

Also this lad is NRL proven and that alone makes him vastly superior to most of our lillie livers.

Please go away foggy and stop making a fool of yourself because I am not alone in my opinion that our progress is one way and that is backwards. We have found no new revenue streams which reduces the quality of the squad, which means a slow decline in performances, a tapering off of support, which reduces revenue and you just keep rolling on until we are finally relegated and have to start again. If you choose not to accept it when many others do that is your choice. If I was you I would go to the dictionary and look up the word “forum” and what it means. The reason I complain is because I am angry which may surprise you however, we had a chance to finally stop looking down, we had a strong squad and we played attractive rugby. This was unfortunately allowed to wither leaving us where we are today. If you want to keep your head in the fog with your fingers in your ears (not heres) going la,la,la go for it.
I have Trinity TV and a season ticket the former however does not make good watching so don’t bother, a bit like you and your outlook on life.

First line of your sentence and were giving out the insults, pretty cool I'd say.
Course your not alone in your condemnation of the club, but at least others others aren't at it constantly like you, but then others unlike you don't think they have a monopoly at the demise of the club, is that why you have a season ticket so that you can criticise to your hearts content, just an observation really squire, but I notice the word WE in your post quite a few times.

Ok let it go now both of you.

You survive on that “tight budget”…..just about. Year after year. What’s the point? I really don’t get the MC love in, he’s probably great if you’re running a newsagent but he doesn’t have the finance obviously to move things on for you.

More than happy to, good luck with him

So
1) he's kept us in Super League with an income close to a newsagent.
2) even with our poor bank account, he managed to get a squad together that can beat your millionaire team 3 times this season
3) as you don't support Wakefield, I can't see why it's a problem to you.

Yes he did save the club PopTart but he should have changed his approach over the last 5 or 6 years.
Our present situations down to Mr Carter who must be held responsible.
If we do manage to survive does the club continue on its present path and repeat the process next season.
I know you always look on the bright side but I think many supporters are starting to realise that something needs to be done before they shell out on season tickets an make regular visits to B V.
If we do survive the club should make a statement of intent, Infact if relagated also.
Its an extremely difficult time for people and the club will need to bring as many supporters it can along with it.

There aren't many positives on the field right now but Carter's responsibilty to the club is to primarily keep it afloat when other clubs in our position have gone under.

When you talk about revenue streams we are in the middle of one of the biggest projects to change that.
The onfield stuff could change overnight.....either way. But the work on stadium and the work to keep the budget under control is long term and long lasting.

Didn't he get two MoMs at centre, against Hull and Wire?

True, I meant two but the point is he’s hardly a seasoned centre.

That’s not to say I wouldn’t play him there and was baffled to not see him playing there on Saturday.

As I say I’ve totally lost any belief that Poching is up to the job. His inability to settle on a line up is frightening.

I hate to say it but he appears clueless as demonstrated in that second half.
