I think we will only win 4/5 of our remaing fixtures. Not sure where that would leave us in the table but its going to be a struggle to make the 8.

The way we've played in the last few weeks, with O'Brien in the side and Lomax back, we'll beat a lot of teams IMO.

I can't believe people are happy with our performances over the last few weeks, I think we've been pretty poor.

Our attack has been boring rubbish off the cuff with no structure.

Our defence is worst I've seen for many years. When teams move the ball wide, we are stretched.

Our kicking game has been shocking!

We beat Leeds but to many fans got carried away, it was a win but we was poor.

The Warrington game was enabrassing at times.

Hudds was better than us and I don't think they got out of 3rd gear.

Only the eternal optimists are happy. I agree completely we have been terrible and the excuses are running out

There will only be Perry, Meli and Puletua that will leave at the end of the year and those include 2 of our better players.

Which two of three are our better players this year?

That's the biggest compliment anyone has paid me all week. I do think it's about expectations. I gave up on top 4 some weeks ago. So I'm simply about were we stand in the top eight not where we are overall league wise. That can't change until personnel change.

Re: Nathan Brown : Wed Jun 05, 2013 6:32 pm  

For people getting on Browns back, what would you do with this current squad?


(I'm not saying he's not to blame for some things this year but the squad is awful)

Because we're so poor in the middle we very rarely get any decent quick ball out wide. Thought we've looked decent when we have shifted it wide but were far to predictable constantly running back into the middle & turning it back inside mainly because we haven't got the quality in the halves. Defensively I think we're partly suffering due to the amount of positional changes & rotation. We're crying out for a leader in the forwards, a Cayless or Graham to radically improve our line speed, other than our 10-15 flurry in games were we look good our line speed & aggression in defence is woeful.
