Live on Sky. Awesome.

Well they have to start on our right edge
Little point trying to big up Cam Scott because he isnt good enough
McIntosh as we have said has been a poor signing
Savelio still not match fit
Smith keeps going on quite rightly about our tackle technique but whatever they are trying to get the players to do clearly isnt working.
Have to say we do have some really dumb players who are slow in thinking and also slow on their legs.
This game now as we know is all about pace and defence and we lack both.
Smith has very few options as there are no young reserves who are ready for Super League but have to say the attitude of most players stinks.
You have to feel sorry for Adam Pearson

You could make a case for dropping most of them. But we can't. So for me Lane Houghton. Scott. Macintosh for starters. Try Hoy in the Half's litten FB. Cator for Houghton. Vuni or Barron for Mac. Anybody for lane.

I think we should look at seeing if any teams would take lovodua off our hands this season and use the quota spot to sign a second rower from the NRL, we desperately need more size and quality in the pack and I don't see what lovodua offers that someone from the academy doesn't

Re: On to Salford : Sat Mar 11, 2023 5:11 pm  

Defensive work all week has clearly not been put into anything remotely good enough . Soft underbelly , week edges , Smith has hell a lot of work to do . Hopefully this diabolical display will make Smiths Who stays / Who goes a little easier .

I'd even say Laidlaw in for Evans. Or maybe give Staveley a game.

Re: On to Salford : Sat Mar 11, 2023 5:15 pm  

There has got to be at least a couple of players dropped next week surely, if only to send a message.
Will Gardiner was in the squad this week so I'd give him a go, he looked decent last year.

Said it last year when everyone was after sacking Hodgson. We could have Bellamy Robinson, Wane whoever and this playing group would serve up performances like this.
