For me the one thing we are missing is a system. We have the players to do they job we just do not have a system of playing them.I watch other teams and the know what to do in both attack and defence we seem lost in both departments. In attack we are still to slow passing the ball and we stand either to deep when close to the line or to shallow when midfield. The centres (YEAMAN) constantly leaves his wing man when kick are high and the full back ambles out when collecting a ball.
When we get a penalty we kick it 10meters were other teams are banging it half the length of the pitch.

Our halves double as centres and our creativness from scrums is a joke. We have the players not sure we have the people above.

I think we are lacking a bit in the backs, but having said that we aren;t making the most of what we do have.

Briscoe is a great player, but not a winger, he lacks the height and the ability to jump for kicks and we often get punished for it, his positional play often lets him down imo. Whiting is a safe, solid, but avarage at best centre I'm afraid. He offers little to no attacking threat and Craig Hall shold be first choice centre every day of the week for me. Yeaman is okay without being spectacular and Turner is also much better in the backs. I don't really see what he has done at 6 to warrant the praise he has been getting. Lyne was brought in perhaps a little early but I don't blame Agar for playing him what so ever because I would have done the same.

Assuming Horne is fit against Rovers I would go for:

Tansey
Turner
Yeaman/Briscoe
Hall
Whiting

Horne
Long

O'Meley (assuming he doesn't get a ban)
Berrigan
Cusack
Tickle
Manu
Fitzgibbon

Houghton
Moa
Lauaki
Dowes

forget systems

its all about the players not wanting to play for that so called coach

one good performance this year (saints, because of the situation)

It all seems to be a mental issue to me, for ages now we have been poor against the poorer sides and then we up our game against the better sides. Not since Bomber was here have we been able to put sides to the sword, they just don't seem to be mentally prepared for a lot of the games. You could see from minute one of the Salford game they'd not turned up.

I thought we played a decent game against Hudds tbf...but I know what you are saying.

Spot on. The first set of six set the tone for the game and we just couldnt snap out of it.

We've been sheite against the good teams for 3 years now
