i mentioned the weight loss a few weeks back. it has really affected kylie. looks a shadow of last years player

Maybe that and the rumour he has had his head turned by Wigan, I also aren't sure Bluey has the fogiest idea how to utilise the players he has.

where do passes go?

1 poor pass I can remember.

The thing is we look a lot more dangerous once he enters the action. His passes are in front of the man giving us an extra half second to do something whereas Diskins are usualy fired into the chest (thats not a critisism btw as most players over here do that).

buderus was our best player again for me!! has to play 80 mins or from the start in the first spell!!

Have to echo what has been said, Burderus is looking better with every game.

Surely he should be in line for a start.

For catalan's i think we should go with..
Webb
Donald
Gibson
Senior
Hall
Mcguire
Burrow
Kirke
Buderus
Peacock
Jjb
Ali
Sinfield

Burgess
Worrall
Kylie/bailey
Mcshane

I personally think diskin and ablett need a rest/dropping and it's a toss up for me who misse's out between kylie and bailey.
I thought kirke did well at prop v giant's who like the catalans have a big pack.
I'd also start with Ali to give us more threat and hopefully momentum early rather than hoping he can change it from the bench.
I know other's could be dropped/rested but that's what i'd go with.

positive last night was i didnt need a pee halfway through the first half

Buderus, JP and Kirke, and Donald to some extent.

The first three worked their balls off.

Wilsons Pie and Peas were again fantastic, and it was all down hill from there.

Quins have plenty of positives, possibly the most solidest centre pairing in Super League. The envy.

Buderus was our best last night IMO. Now he is regaining full fitness he is starting to show the form we know he is capable of.
Regarding Kylie. He is suffering more than most from only having a 3/4 week pre season due to the world cup. A player who even when fully fit is not capable of long stints like Peacock,he is really suffering this year. Last night he did 11 mins in the 1st half and 14 in the 2nd. Thats putting added pressure on the rest of the pack who also look jaded. I think this will improve as the season goes on.
Keep the faith

Buderus was MOM for me. Donald's length of the field scamper shows he still has the pace and hopefully will be a much needed confidence boost.

Webb was steady enough and Hall is showing some good form and attitude, and that was about it for last night.

I thought the Quins defence was excellent, their line was ruler straight and they all stepped up as one.
