More than just a defeat? : Fri Apr 06, 2012 5:32 pm  

It's always hard to take a loss to the pies but looking forward to the next few games and it's looking much harder now.

Wilkin and lomax will most certainly miss the two Widnes games and wildcats games thru injury and I'm pretty sure lance will be up before the rfl for a high tackle.

It's looking like a tough few games.

Nah. Gaskell will get his oppertunity again, who knows how long either lance or lomax are out. La franki and wello back, maybe wheeler too. I would hope we get our mojo back and have a good run of four games. five if you count CC

Good job we have players like Gaskell and Wheeler who can come in and who we know can do a job.Also Wello and Lafranchi will pop back in the team.
Dixon will probably also get a run out

Lances hit on TomPkins near the end was stupid and will kop him a ban.

I would also say that Josh Jones has aquitted himself well in the two games he has played. So far he has been offering more than Shenton, who i am becoming increasingly sceptical about.

Losing to the scum is always more than just a defeat.

Josh jones has done very well and against the two best sides in the comp. he's big, strong and has good balance.

On the subject of shenton, he don't look right to me since his injury. Maybe its just getting over it which will take time but he looks pretty dire.

Yeah. Shenton is looking like a mediocre buy. Although, I will say he's being given very little to work with by the halves.

Jones looks like a physical force. But power isn't something we lack. The problem is a fundamental shortage of skill.

Don,t think the injuries will effect us too much, glad Wellens is back for the next game, we seem to be missing a leader again today. Obviously Lomax effected our game plan that's if we had one, but Gaskell has got the incentive now to get a good run of games together.
Like the look of Josh Jones looks like a raw Jack Reed, more games for him will benefit his game.
Our kicking options were rubbish today, that needs sorting out for Monday.

Our kicking was shocking last week as well.

Shenton is no Lyon. He's no Talau either.

He's no Damian smith at the moment either.
