| Quote ="Matty_HullFC"Do you think Birscoe is a more exciting player than Tansey?'"
No, but it's not about individual flair, it's about team performance.
Rovers for me have a better balance when Briscoe is at 1, Dobson at 7 and Murrell at 13. (whichever other pivot at 6)
FC for me have a better balance when Whiting or Washy are at 13. If you look at our attacking performances it's pretty obvious too that we desperately need more creativity. If our existing pivots cant provide it maybe we do need a 4th.

| Quote ="Big Dave T"Appreciate that mate, so should we stop chasing the ghost that it Australia then and concentrate on getting our own house in order?
Whats the point in changing tactics and changing the way we do things to emulate them if ultimately we're always going to be 10 years behind and the gap is growing due to finances?'" I agree, but we need to be competitive against them. The only decent team in the comp that uses your style of 13 is Leeds, and we all know what happens when Sinfield plays 13 for England.

then later said we had 18 players and no one to bring yet Burnett played in the 20s
I like the bloke as a person, but hes running the club i love and i believe he will never deliver silverware becasue he is not astute enough as a coach tatically

As you say that free's up the FB birth to be used more as a classic role instead of the new type of FB.
We have been playing with 3 props just like yourselves really (Watts packing down in the LF spot).

to be honest we've played a lot better since we moved watts to 13, made our go fwd and defence miles better, murrell's played 6, but we have a pivot 2nd rower in galea.

I don't think Mark likes Wigan
Cummings, Rule and Agar cringed at his slating of Wigan "squirming on the ground around you" in the ruck. He must've mentioned them about 4 times after that, too. I bet he's targeting them for his return... hopefully could be sooner? Mentioned facial hair cultivation within the squad (whilst sporting spectacular nasal slug himself) usually unveiled at a prestigious occasion meriting team bonding....

| Quote ="holt fc"You are totally right we have seen worse than this, however i feel the big big difference now is that in previous bad times we had nothing in place to suggest that anything but bad times were inevitable. As a result of this we as fans accepted the bad times and knew good times would return and the old faithful in any kind of weather stayed true
Now the total difference is everything off the pitch is in place ie. stadium, merchandising, marketing, communications and record sponsorship deals. However we choose a cheap option in the coaching department, our recruitment and retention of players is questionable at times and due to financial restraints etc. peoples loyalty to the club is not as prominent and commitment can be questioned more.
How many times have we been excited by the rugby seen at the KC in the last 2-3 seasons? Barring the Saints game at home this season, i am struggling to think of another game. We all pay enough to be entertained yet our delightful board do not appear to see it this way and we feel we our commitment to the team we all love (and will still support once this shower have long gone) is being taken for granted'"
I agree completely with you - The other thing to add is that when I was younger and I presume you - The players were only part-time - had a day job and trained on a night. These modern players- train - go to the gym - have a gentle swim and then go home - I dont mean this as a bleat about comparing eras but our Part-timers had our respect for what they did. We expect our new young players to be up for it every game even if we lose. On Saturday against Wakefield they certainly were not.

You asked good questions, but he gave you his answer (as did O'Meley) and you and the other members of the "anti Agar" crew didn't get the answer you wanted. Well that's just tough.
