Glad to see its not just me and i fully agree about the hard work needed...However i think it may be fitness (or lack thereof) that hampers our ability to defend... I think we need a full review of all coaching staff and trainers, very much like Pearson has done at Hull. I'm not one to call people inadequate but to be a successful professional club we need a long term plan and structure from top to bottom... As for Morrison at Batley all i say is look on T&A and we need to move quickly, a gamble that doesn't work is better than staying as we are and not moving forward... Come on Hood, pull your finger out, sick of nothing happening at the club

Also any news on Cummins? Still no extensionthat i have heard of!

Sorry bull boy 2011, tackle legs first at super league level and all that will happen is offload after offload. What does need to happen is the initial hit wraps and split second later legs taken , followed by a 3rd who then controls the speed. A 3 man tackle is so more effective than a 1 man 'smash' tackle!!!! This is the reason a average giants side compete as they do this very well.

Our defensive problem is 1- some of our players are by far the worst in the league at reading attack , 2- Not all the players are aggressive enough in defence , and 3- Our fitness is dyer

but correct about line speed, ours is terrible

Judging by the picture Potter should be used to working with empty vessels... Although he seems to have some difficulty in getting the team fired-up this season. I think it is time for him to change the temper and make-up of the side but he has to be careful not to act like a Bull in a china shop.

...and that's putting a gloss on things.
