Hello headhunter.Well I have attended every match in England and several in france.Henderson and Taia have been far and away our best players .the clamour for Pelissier is ridiculous.i cannot recall a single occasion where he has managed to pass the ball to a cooleague after a break.Dureau is not the player of 3 years ago ,but he has worked valinty to overcome the manifest defects of all the backs except of course Carney.We shall have to agree to disagree.I was there on sunday.Were you?

Dureau has had a tough time for sure.

He has shown flashes though, but I doubt he will be here next season and that's a shame. His illness and injury have been career changing as well as life changing.

Compare his as a signing to say, Brent Webb, who had a complete shocker, and Dureau stands up.

Great that we are having this debate though.

Henderson has and is a solid player however he can not change a game like Pellisier can. When Pellisier came on at Warrington he changed the game completely. Hhe is probably the best running hooker in super league atm. He gets 20 mins a game at best and that is just not enough for a player of his calibre. If he leaves then that will be the biggest loss in years.

Dureau was my favourite player in super league a few years ago however (understandably) he is not the player he was. With Carney at his side he is a much better player as he lacks a really good kicking game and his game management is a little poor at times.

We are a fair weather team, we play well in hot dry weather and play poorly in wet conditions. It has always been like that. Salford were just as bad as us in those conditions (it was dreadful).

Gigot has been brilliant the last few months so having a dig at him playing in an unfamiliar position is a little unfair. Inu looks like he is lacking match fitness. Was strong in the first 20 and then went missing a little bit, I believe he will come good towards the end of this season especially with Carney's kicks to him.

For me we need a good half (Myler/Robert Lui/Cornish/Luke Kelly/Sandow/Isaac John), a prop (Willie Mason/George Rose/Tagatese/Hannant) and a second row or two to replace Whitehead(Sika Manu/Dave Taylor/Lagi Setu). I'd also take Millard back if he wanted to come.

Pelissier will not be leaving,,because Henderson is.Making breaks is not the same as enabling continuity and Pelissier always ends up taking the tackle.However I accept that Pelissier needs more game time .Where was he on Sunday? Fair does re .Gigot,but there is no doubt hat he and Inu cost us a vital match.

I have a different view. At the end of that game Henderson passed to Dureau and he kicked to the corner with 5 mins left which resulted in a 20m drop out and they went up the pitch and scored. It was a crazy play which gave them momentum. That ball should have kept on their line, just take the tackle even. Those two have enough experience to know that. But everyone is entitled to their opinion. I assume Pellisier and Escare were both injured?

Louis Anderson, two more years

Thank god.

You praise Henderson yet he was the player who was at fault for Salford's first try with a ridiculous lack of concentration. He also cost the game against Warrington with another awful lapse in concentration just minutes after replacing Pelissier, who was close to man of the match and the only attacking threat. Dureau has been utterly awful this year, particularly in the past month, kicking the ball away, taking the wrong option almost every time. You cannot just blame the other players for the failings of these players, someone like Pelissier was dropped for missing one tackle yet the likes of Henderson and Dureau constantly do stupid things, cost the team matches time after time and keep their place. The inconsistency and poor concentration of the likes of Henderson and Dureau is a main reason that the team never wins away, if you've been to all the away matches then you've surely seen how badly they perform. Just winning all the home matches is not good enough now, the new format means that the team can't just scrape into the top 8 and then turn it on in the play-offs anymore.

Agree with everything said here. We'd have won that Warrington game if Pelissier had stayed on, I'm sure of it.

Richards confirmed by the club. Got to be happy with that.

Yesssssssssssss

Because he is...

Oldfield would be a loss for me.

All this talk of the acrobatic try scoring recently and he has been missed out. Some of his efforts have been close to this man in their skill and aerial altitude gain.





I like Mikey.

Yep, big loss. There are about 50 wingers as good as him in Aus tho.

Good and bad news. Good news- Richie Myler in- www.catalansdragons.com/en/artic ... hie-myler/ Wonderful signing imo, if we can keep Carney that is undoubtedly the best halves pairing in super league. Bad news- St George Illawara have approached Zeb. I am scared

Brilliant signing, I am genuinely excited by this one.

Lots of rumours about Dave Taylor, Paul Aiton and now Jodie Broughton to the Dragons.

Aiton would probably not want to be second choice to Eloi?

I assume so. I'd want Eloi as my first choice next year, he is good enough.

Seen on social media he wants to go if Aiton does come in as first choice.

Not suprised haha. I'd be very annoyed if I was him.
