ratchford, turner and walton all got a game. 3 young lads who have come through ur academy. Also thought sidlow had a solid game!

I would rather lose by 30 with those kids than lose by 30 using 2nd rate imports.

The likes of Ratchford, Turner, Walton and Myler are all talented players and will develop into very good players if they are not held back by the rubbish.

What is it with McRae? He seems to have a thing about playing stand offs on the wing. It didn't work with Dorn and it won't work with Ratchford. The defence down the left was terrible.

lets see if sidlow gets a run now, i thought he was one of the few positives.

SPOT ON "martin13"

Adam Sidlow needs to stay in the starting 17 now and prove himself, although he will be playing in a beaten side more or less each each for sure.

The defence down the middle and right was just as bad. Looking at the left though surely McRae should be making sure that one side isn't so inexperienced. We had Walton, Smith, Turner, Ratchford on the left which for me is asking for a hiding.

Perhaps that's part of our problem. How many promoted sides have fielded as many youngsters as we're doing at present, and got anywhere?

Perhaps the question should be would you rather be competitive with a team full of old SL players and imports, or lose by 30 with 3 or 4 youngsters in the team?

Since this is a thread called 'positives' I think the thread on the Harlequins board is worth a look ... http://forums.rlfans.com/viewtopic.php?t=398103

I dont think its just the players fault there playing the game the coach sets out and unfortunatly he only plays one out rubgy and it is so predictable. I think the players should get fitter because they only seem to perform for 20 mins by then the game as gone. I feel the coaching is so poor we wont get anywhere with it
