You need to open yours. I post plenty of positives, just the pitchfork wielding locals don't like it when I post about the realities of our recruitment and all jump on board. I couldn't care less about anyones opinion of me. I'll post what I see and believe irrespective of whether it's the populist view or not.
Keep it up though, I do enjoy the banter

| I think it’s clear that we are at least starting to do the basics to a decent standard, that shouldn’t really be seen as a positive for a professional rugby side, but it’s a marker of how low we have fallen. That been said, credit has to go to Grix and Cummins for at least getting this improvement out of the team.
it’s now a case of moving to the next step in developing our attack. I appreciate they have only been a partnership for a month or so, but I’d really like to see Reynolds, and particularly Trueman to kick on now. We look very clunky at times, and towards the end we had lane and smith throwing loose and unnecessary passes which ultimately cost us possession and the game.
As for individuals, Moy really is improving game by game, and I’m pleased to see Carlos come back into the side and showing glimpses of the class we have seen over the years.

Il praise the club when they do something right and criticise when they don’t…on a whole Myler has done a good job,yes a couple of the signings are a bit iffy but il give them the benefit of the doubt and see how they get on but Grix has been his biggest mistake IMO as yes performances have improved but still only 2pts won but I hope he leaves at end of season and we bring in a attack coach in his place.

We still fail to do the basics well. Some of the passing is awful

You and I know that that 99% of your posts are negative, even in the good old days you were the same.

| Firstly we had to stop the rot and get some pride in our play. We have done that big time of late. We have a mix of average players. Players coming back from long injuries. Young players making there way . We are what we are but the long improvement has started.

| Back on topic, I agree with other posters we need an attacking coach on board, what role is Ellis doing, him Grix and Cartwright were all forwards it would be good to add a attack minded assistant coach, someone like Ryan Sheridan.

New York is only a seven hour flight,six hours on the return if you get tail winds

| Quote ="the cal train"We looked sloppy in D round the ruck and on our line, and our attack can never be described as aspirational. That being said, what an improvement on only a matter of weeks ago. Really pleased we showed some fight, even three or so weeks ago I think at 18-6 we'd have totally collapsed and it'd have finished 42-6.
Balmforth is the real deal, hope he's signed up already but he's going like he's playing in the shop window.'"
Agree our defense and effort on the field is much better but when you look at the Warrington error count at 19 and a 44% completion rate then in reality the scoreline could have been in the forties.
That said the amount of possession in good field position we had plus the tries we bombed we should have won that game

Its due to the Jet Stream over the Atlantic so the outward flight takes about 7 hours and the return flight usualy wind assisted takes about 6 hours
British Airways' flight 112 from New York-JFK to London-LHR on Saturday, February 8, achieved the fastest subsonic flight duration ever. The route clocked in at just 4 hours and 56 minutes according to the data collected by FlightRadar24. The average flight time for that route is usually 6 hours and 13 minutes. During the flight, the Boeing 747-436 aircraft reached speeds of 800 mph.
The wind also shaved 51 minutes off the average flight time of BA238 on February 8, a Boeing 777-236ER flying from Boston to LHR with onward service to Dublin.

| Wasn't jetlag for Cartwright, he had a back injury not risked. Do some of you so called experts go and just sit and comment on here whilst watching on TV?

This is correct despite Bonaire's boring same old negative spin, surprised he didn't know about this with him being an expert in everything.

According to the HDM he trained last week and this week training with the reserves as the first team have a week off

To add to this, just 2 sin bins in the 8 games since Grix became head coach. 1 of those was Briscoe which was a professional foul which i wouldn't say was bad discipline on his part. I know it counts but its a bit different compare to when Jack Brown picked up 2 for the same dangerous tackle in 2 games.
