Stewart, Watson, Donlan, Hobson, Alstead, Madden, young?

The others aren't young in rugby terms - 17/18yrs old are youngsters but ours are a couple of years older - they will not get much better now.

A few maybe eg Morty but those that do will be snapped up by SL or better Championship sides. Let's not kid ourselves.

Well that really is where the problem is, you have to be congratulated for bringing youngsters on and building a future team with them but they also need mentoring.They need a few good quality older end to learn from and I think the signing of say the likes of Hobson and the like are not just good enough anymore.

They have played no rugby all season and back end of last, if we were entertained and had the same results we would be singing their praises and looking forward to the future.
We are simply bored with the skill levels and garbage on show.

I dont disagree, I also feel some players have more to offer if used to their strengths.

[quote="Great King Rat"]Yet 2 weeks ago when we beat Widnes away we were 'on the right path' and everything was rosy. Were Widnes that bad then?

Good news! (if he's any good!) Given the current state of affairs, are we likely to hear if he's arrived?

we can keep calling our backs all day but they are not been given the chance to play attacking rugby you can count on one hand the amount of ball centres donlan and reay get in open play the only time the backs get the ball is from acting halfback if kelly cant see this then its time for him to go we need a standoff urgently to bring the backs into play our fitness levels are worst in league mort can be a good player but a fullback he is not never in the right place in defence donlan maybe reay who was wigans reserve fullback need to play here

What i gather from some peeps on here is that when we lose its because we have played cr@p, when we win its because the opposition has played cr@p or both teams are cr@p what about giving the lads a break
