Yeah i also was told at the game today that there has been complications! Matters alot more than a rugby game.

Hope everythings ok...

To the people complaining about Sharp being out of position, surely that is down to the players inside him too?

You can't be left in a 3 on 1 position without the other 2 inside him been at fault either, surely?

just heard his wife and son are now at home,good news for the family,congratulations to them all,guess he pulled out as his mind wouldnt of been on the game.

Glad to hear it

Good news wolfie, thanks for posting the update.

Excellent news. Hope mum and baby (and of course Dad) are doing well.

speaking of new dads - has anyone noticed the bags under Bill Arthurs' eyes lately ? he looks knackered !

Good to hear.

Good news about whiting, missed him today, has he been on the bench, it could have been a differnet story IMO.

Next week he has to be on the wing, unless Phelps is injured, then either Sharp stays or we bring in Lyne?

I wouldn't bring in Lyne tbh.

Sharps just a bit indecisive, took a good bomb all credit to him.

Neither would I, just an option.

Sharp offers much more going foward.

If Phelps is fit then I would expect Sharp will be dropped.

Phelps
Whiting
Gleeson
Yeaman
Briscoe
Horne
Long
Moa
Houghton
O Meley
Manu
Tickle
Fitz

Obst
Radford
Dowes
Westerman/Lauaki

I'd go with that.

Westerman and Lauaki need a rocket up their s.

We missed Whiting? In what sense exactly. His pace, the way he gets stood up by opposition centres, his positional play at FB. Whiting has been poor all year and his performance against Saints (cost us a win) and Widnes (numerous missed tackles) typified this. Another over rated player who has gone backwards since Agar got hold.

feel sorry for sharp gets knocked all the time as said by others he is left exposed . 1st try was a country mile forward 2nd resulted as we had just got some go forward and had hudds rocking till we spilt the ball on the 1st tackle trying to be fancy . 3rd fair enough could of done better so at fault for that . and when brough scored resulted from a forced pass turner dropped and had to turn and chase . collectively the team self descructed by not respecting the ball not one player alone

You'll get banned for talking sense you know.

someone will have something to pull my comments to bits no doubt

whiting said on twitter,he didnt play yesterday because he hasnt had any sleep for 46 hours.said he felt like a zombie.....he had a word with agar and decided he would nt of been his best,and it wasnt fair to the team mates or the fans.

Very true, just pointing out that Sharp was not the only one.

Good to hear Whiting's wife and baby are home.

No need to feel bad mate.If you don`t know the circumstances then you havn`t seen the full picture.

did't sharp get player of the year, supporters player of the year at harlequins last year, in a poor team! His defence can't of been to bad ! i think Agar can turn the best player in the world into a poor player, just my opinion, but the best winger in the world would be poor defensively on our right wing!!!

This kid might drop the occasional clanger but you can't knock him for his enthusiasm,he's always there to drive the ball out.

If anyone had watched Huddersfield (and tbh other sides) prior to the game they would see that Brough and Brown throw long cut out passes that will leave a side with an inability to slide the defence effectively in all sorts of bother.

Their tactics on Sunday were spot on and they wreaked havoc. Yes Sharp has a weakness but he is being hung out to dry by our shocking tactics. Even I could see the long passes coming, yet our defence was almost rooted to the spot, watching the ball. Surely the game plan involved an element of preparation for long passes exploiting the compressed defensive line???

Still Sharp's fault. He needs to make himself heard and shout for people to get across if he is on his own.
But he doesn't have much of a presence in the team as he should in order to get people across to help him.

I feel like his performances are being questioned too often, something needs to be done about it...

Maybe if he shouts really loud the attacker will drop the ball?

Nothing to with shouting to get people across. If the ball is already there Usain Bolt would struggle to get across to help him.

It's a fundamental tactical problem I'm afraid. The defensive line is too narrow, leaving both wings exposed at times. As I said Sharp has his weaknesses in defence and in my view this is just showing up the tactical problem more than before. Agar/Webster/Last need to address this now.
