Don't really see what the issue is

What if BetFred require each club to do something on Rivals Round this week?

AP must be so angry at losing to Giants
we could have made close to 500,000 with a sell out semi final and a Final appearance

Don’t the players feel any shame at a pathetic attempt v Giants

BH should ask why he motivated the players to such a shiite house effort

what a crock and it just seems ok

please watch the 2016 semi final and see what it takes to make the CC final
we are zillions of miles away from the 2016 CC semi final type of play and mind set

AP seems to just accept this rubbish inconsistency

Re: Good Friday Derby : Mon Apr 11, 2022 8:44 am  

Given how staggeringly inconsistent we are its probably a good thing we lost on Saturday, means we're due a decent performance.
(I'm not being entirely serious before anyone start....)

Usual derby really, anyone's guess how it'll turn out.
Blunderside mentioned on the coverage of our game that Mikey Lewis finished the Rovers-Cas game on crutches so I guess he'll be missing.

Not much to chance in terms of players, hopefully Carlos will finally make it and Savelio is fit.

Mitch and Johnstone to be replaced by Carlos and Lane.

Start Reynolds at 6, Lovodua at 13, then switch to hooker to rest Houghton.

Also use Lane in the backrow to give rests to Savelio and Ma'u.

Get some work out of the prop forwards.

Re: Good Friday Derby : Mon Apr 11, 2022 8:54 am  

Also target Wood and Keinhorst, Cas had plenty of joy down that side last week.

I have a horrible feeling that we will still see Johnstone in the 17 and flog Houghton for 80mins yet again even with affectively 3 hookers in the 17. I'm not sure who is responsible for the the fact we criminally under use our forwards, is it the way that BH wants us to play, do our forwards simply avoid taking the carries or is that whoever is acting half choses to by pass the forwards? What ever it is it needs resolving and quickly.
I just hope we do not see any more comments from BH or the players about how they have prepared well all week blah blah blah as its just all talk and sadly they have yet to walk the walk.

My concern with BH as Coach is that he is just too nice a guy and not ruthless enough.

I think the problem is BH doesn't see Johnstone as a hooker anymore but more as a utility player so we will probably see him on the bench again and Houghton flogged for 80 minutes.
