I didn't go against Rovers as I had a thing called work and have set holidays and didn't watch it on sky as deleted it when I got in from work...we was bloody awful against Hudds

Losing a derby? No different to most seasons, certainly had worse derby losses. Then a win away at the champions. Sort of cancel each other out.

I don't know about anyone else but I don't really care [iwhy[/i we're playing better, just that we [iare[/i playing better. If we can keep this up that'll do for me.

Without doubt. The playing better status has hardly gained any maturity yet - need to do it consistently.

They are stringing together wins at the moment and certainly look better in attack against Cas, but old habits creep back in and the wobble was bad after twenty minutes. Leeds, Wigan, Wire and Saints would have punished us badly for that lengthy lapse Cas could not they lacked the final punch when it was needed. Now hopefully we can push on, but for me what has been said by LR about players and the supporters speaks volumes.

He is still not the man for the job

Surely it's the players if this supposed team meeting took place?

Thought you said enough was enough for you and seven others and you weren't paying any more?

..agree we do look average this part of the season..but you must remember we were without walsh for the latter part of last season..and we still won the lead league leaders shield and the grand final...dont let us being without walsh fool you!..cup games are a different kettle of fish!

You were hopeless though and only won the LLS because no one else could string any performances together and would have likely lost the final had wigan not had a thug playing for them.

I think we should go into the game with a good chance. If we match you in the forwards I think our halfs will win the game for us plus pryce will hopefully have a blinder against his former club

Our short-side play has improved beyond recognition very very quickly.

Houghton has been much better, has set up a few try's in recent games with his reserve ball and quick pass near the line.

His passing was awful yesterday! No accuracy again, nearly every one too high, losing a second of momentum.

Sorry don't understand your post what's the players ?

In terms of 'a team meeting taking place' I'm always a bit wary of believing stuff posted on here. I should imagine there are regular team meetings so maybe this was an extraordinary one or something.

It wasnt, if it was we wouldn't have scored all those try's, it certainly wasn't for his pass to Paea, the odd was poor, but that's what you get when you play him for 80 minutes, he defended well, kicked well and won us the penalty that won us the game.

Another point about our recent form and one that will cause much debate, but are we better without Westerman?

I would say not although with both Sneyd and Price playing his ball handling options are more limited. I thought we missed him badly against Huddersfield.

Are we better without one of our better players?

Logic suggests probably not, although with proper halves his role is less central to how we play this season.

Last season he certainly was, but we played without any halfbacks, this year he seems to be a bit in the way when we have Pryce and Sneyd, all of play should go through these two and we look better when Wesy isn't been used as a ball handler.

I'd play Westy out wide

Mini
Westy
Ellis

Amazing turnaround. Must have been a hell of a meeting

I was referring to this post



Which I had taken to mean that the fans had some kind of impact on things when some other poster said it all stems from some team meeting. Presume now that's not what you meant at all.

Anyway, agree it must have been a hell of a meeting to turn things around so drastically in 2 or 3 weeks

whatever we are getting better and radford must take sum credit imo

Truly extraordinary AGM.

Once a year? That explains a lot

What does it explain ?

The seeming lack of the players knowing what was going on for the first couple of months of the season. Maybe they should have this extraordinary annual general meeting before the season starts next time
