| Quote ="Mrs Barista"The weakness of the pack has been highlighted since before pre season. Chuck in the fact that we were missing Paea, Bowden, Manu and Savelio it's hardly a surprise we got rolled at times. We heard a lot about Green being the one player who would have made a difference in the semi and who we should be retaining. Not that convinced he is indispensable personally but interested to see how things pan out. The back row certainly seems to be upweighted next year and we have strong backs. Hope to see props similarly strengthened.'"
Where has anyone said green is indispensable? Plenty saying he is better than fash, which he is

| Like others on here I'm puzzled with the situation with Jake. Playing at right centre, he and Ratu were up there with the best in the league. Carlos to my knowledge has always played on the left and with Josh proving his worth in the second row, those three ought to be put where they give most value. Kelly and Sneyd go without saying. Bureto needs to up his game with more outside backs joining us next year or he'll be spending more time in the reserves. That said, and even without our star men shining, we're still 3rd in the league with two very winnable games coming up.

| Quote ="Chris71"Considering green had the opportunity to put himself in the shop window I thought he was pretty disappointing. One thing that I don’t get is fir a lad his size as soon as contact is made he stops moving his legs and concedes to the tackle. We certainly missed Paea which didn’t think I’d say after the way he started the season.
Just think we missed a trick last night and Radford got it wrong as should have had Connor starting centre alongside Ratu and Carlos alongside Faraimo with Griffin starting 2nd row and Lane on the bench.
We certainly miss Manu when he’s not in the side.'"
I thought Greeny went ok last night, what really disappointed me was when Westy broke through, Greeny was in support, but no backs.

| Quote ="Mild mannered Janitor"All most fans will ask is consistency. Unfortunately that is not forthcoming.
The eight point try for example. Not real difference to what happened to Faraimo at Headlingley.
I also think Thaler wrongly awarded a penalty for Ratu being offside when chasing Conners kick late on.
That said, it’s done now. The team need to rest up for a few days and go all guns blazing to Belle Vue.'"
You do know the offside rule don’t you? He was at least 3 meters offside

| Other results could make some big differences to those in and around us this weekend. Hopefully Rovers beat Cas, but if they don't, and Catalans beat Wire we have 3 teams behind us on 26 points to our 28. One of us will miss out.

It could be. I think Catalans last 5 games include the bottom 4 or something like that. Wigan are improving and Powell's told his lot to go unbeaten now. Some will benefit from getting Saints/Wire either side of Wembley. We still have to play Saints. Miles off being a certainty IMO.

It's arrogance and presumption to assume we'll be in the top 5. 10 points up for grabs still and we have an awful points difference. Of course I hope we'll make it but it's far from secure.

I’m not sure it’s arrogance, saints aside, we shouldn’t fear anyone with a fit squad. Agree with your earlier post, I think if we’d of had 2 of the 4 players available for the Wigan game, would of made a big difference to our pack and probably won us the game. Paea and manu a big loss

One thing's for sure, whatever the quality, this season has been a success from a competition perspective (apart from Saints battering everyone). 5 rounds to go and there are still 6 (arguably 7) in competition for the top 5, and 5 in the mix for relegation.

On paper looks a good comp, but look at that tonight, 44-0 or whatever it was, that’s not entertaining, but makes the league table look competitive, been to much of that this season

I agree. Got in at half time of last night's game. Switched it on, saw the score and switched straight off again.
There's no fun in watching games as a neutral that are lopsided like that.

Yet the previous round Huddersfield v Rovers in similar league positions was very tightly contested with an exciting finish. Every round will have close games like ours and mismatches on the night.

Beginning to come round to your opinion of Jamie Shaul at Full back.
Still think he would make a good 9.
He does the job occasionally anyway at acting half.Could develop into a real game changer in that position with his pace off the mark.
If we have this big tough pack next season he doesnt have to be a tackle machine like Houghton.
I like Connor at right centre but move him to full back would solve the Centre problem we will have next season

| Agree Shaul is holding you guys back, very one dimensional and easy to defend against. All the good attacking teams nowadays have the half back playing fullback, setting up wingers for fun. Tomkins, Ratchford, Coote, Hardaker etc, even Luke Dorn back in the day.
Your two monsters on the wing would have a field day with better service, give them early ball and one on ones against opposing wingers.
Shaul obviously has talent, not saying hes a bad player, would be a super league club, lower end though. Not on with trophy winning ambitions like FC.
Id stick Jake Connor at full back, what a player he is. Just need him on the ball, in space, as much as poss!

| shaul given the right service is as good as any fb.until we get one or two ball playing forewards in the side he wont shine. I still remember the great ball he got from watts in 2016 in the second half at wigan.he ended up scoring and making a total mug of Tompkins.

a.) It's Tomkins, he's literally been at top level rugby league for 10 years, also has a high profile brother with the same name. Learn to spell.
b.) That might be the worst take I've ever read on RL Fans.
Come on here for a decent rugby debate with a great knowledgeable set of fans and get greeted with this.
