GOLDINg is not a hooker!! : Sat May 25, 2024 12:30 pm  

I I despair at some choices Watson makes. Golding cannot pass quickly enough, kick well or run from dummy half. He should never play there again.
Russell is not super league quality, everyone else knows this. Wake up Mr Watson.
We are dreadful in attack, shocking kicks, or poor passing. Masters and Naiqama must despair at the lack of quality.
With little pace we fail to finish any breaks we make.
Too many average players.
Finally, we score against 11 eventually, then play one out rugby for 5 tackles and run on the last. Anyone who follows the game knows you can go side to side to find the space, but not us!!

Agree about Golding at 9 but I like him and he brings a lot to the team so would go back to basics and play him in the position we signed him for at full back he has good pace bringing the ball back and generates good go forward. Watson is not doing him any favours playing him at 9. I could not believe that playing against 11 we weren’t moving the ball side to side to find gaps but stuck to the “process” and kept to one man runs. I believe there is a decent team in there we just need a coach who can bring it out!!

Agree with Golding. Play at full back or wing if no other choice.

Here's a question....

If we revert Goulding back to FB, where does that leave Connor?

If we play him on the wing, where does that leave Wallis or Halsall, especially when Swift is back and ready to go....

Only other position is potentially LF but (if I'm right in saying) he's got Yates & sometimes Cudjoe playing there

Our squad is imbalanced & too many players down there at the moment but that's just my opinion.

We Are clearly using the cap to it's full potential, shame we aren't fulfilling it on the field but then again, with Milner & Goulding at hooker we are going absolutely no where.

I know this will get mocked but personally I wouldn’t play Connor and wouldn’t have brought him back. Yes got bags of ability but acts like a child and only mainly stands out if the team is on top but is very easily goaded and then you’re playing a man down

Not to mention, his knee is short to pieces....
