| Just a special mention here regarding Arona.
He has been good for us this year. He can cover front and back row effectively, and like Sio and Ashurst, dont think he has missed a game for us since Chester came in. The only games I think he didnt play in were the wo earlier in the season when he was banned

I know , my point was more, if given the same draw I'd back us to be there too! That said, good luck on Saturday.

| Quote PopTart="PopTart"We just didn't have the size. Fifita and Scruton were the only out and out props. Arona covering and Molloy covering too.
Molloy went down so we were then even lighter.
Fifita stayed on for long minutes and had a great game but when he went off for a rest they took a hold.
Tried our best but that wasn't our day. They worked out our weak point and hit it hard.
It won't be like that every time.
Need Anderson back with Fifita and Scruton for Warrington. Arona can then cover 4th prop without dropping intensity. Simon would be better if he was back.'"
Size has been the issue all year for me which in a way is a compliment to the squad. We do need another big prop to help out Fifita (if he stops) and England but it's our S/R that really gets billie.
In Ashurst, Kirmond and Tupou we have 3 very similar players and all three are on the light side and none are overly pacey. Backing them up we have Anakin and we can all see the issue there and Molloy. None of them are line breakers and none are powerful enough to exhaust the opposition.
The minute I saw us and Cas warming up I feared the worse, I was quite surprised after 60 minutes to still be in it. It wasn't just the size issue, I think because we hadn't pulled away in the first half like we should have minds wandered towards next saturday and I think Cas twigged that.

Strength in depth - might not be owt to do with it. You could put it down to Powell been a better "polisher" than Chester maybe ?

Last Sunday had more to do with being down to 1 interchange with 3 forwards injured.
We'll see you in the Super 8's but, if we manage a win against Warrington on Sunday, our team may be even weaker than it was on Sunday

Well that's disappointing, I thought that after all the boasting from your mates how you'd beaten us with your reserve team, you at least had come on here to apologise for some of your fans behaviour with the flares on Sunday, especially as you were one of them with the most to say when it happened at your place, apparently not

| I have no doubt that he will make a very good full back and is still to develop but i am concerned by his one on one tackling misses. I know he pulled one off this weekend when Castleford made a break but sadly he can be brushed off or side stepped which I hope is down to his age.
I know what I am saying to some will be blasphemy but it is just an observation and is a problem that all the incumbents have been susceptible to.

I think that's super critical for a 19 year old player - yes he has missed a few but I can name you a fair few far more experienced SL FB's who miss far more. Even if he didn't get any better than he is now he'd still be a very useful player.
Hell the ginger doormat otherwise known as Kris Radlinski was a GB International and our very own Shaggy Halpenny put him on his twice in one game in 2004 and that was fairly regular for golden by Kris - and don't even get me started on that chalatan Tomkins!

| Jowitt solid under high ball and positionally very strong for such a young lad. Just needs to develop a bit more of an evasive ability when joining the line 'cos he gives himself up or doesn't back himself enough. His support play is pretty solid.
But in 3 or 4 years he is going to be outstanding if he keeps it up.
