Re: Round 1: Sheffield : Sun Apr 04, 2021 4:23 pm  
I would love to know how much we're paying Brough. I see he's already up to his usual tricks and was shown a yellow card today.
Our squad just looks really unbalanced. Alarm bells should have been ringing when Peltier left for a league 1 club and then Kirk did the same thing. Pay peanuts and you get monkeys.

Re: Round 1: Sheffield : Sun Apr 04, 2021 4:29 pm  
Peltier left because we couldn’t commit to sign him due to the transfer ban in 2019 at the end of the Chambers shambles that ended up with us having to sell 5 players to HKR to survive

No idea why Kirk left as in our choice or his but even on today’s performance he would still be behind the props we currently have, you can’t keep everyone

My concerns about players not being fit and Kear's concerns about complacency and not respecting the opposition are obviously well founded.

That side wasn't far off full strength. They'll get relegated on this form.

Perhaps league 1 is where we belong.

The next game needs to see us drop Brown. Move Hamlett into the centres where he was brilliant in the first friendly. Lilley back. And to be fair, include Walker, he hasn’t put a foot wrong, can take a few in the tackle. Drop Rooks as well. Turnstile. My team for next game:

Pickersgill
Sanderson
Hamlett
Oakes
Wallis/DFJ
Lilley
Brough
Crossley
Doyle
Walker
Murphy
Gallagher
B. Evans

Jowitt
Nzoungou
Scurr
Fleming

EDIT - Or Berry for Jowitt to have a proper hooker on the bench.

Doesn't seem like the coach is making excuses!

Walker hasn't put a foot wrong :lol:

He's been training with us for a year apparently and barely lasted 10 mins vs Fev before he was blowing out if his backside.

Think fundamental things are wrong. Attitude seems to be that it's OK to just go through the motions. Warning signs have been there since the Keighley friendly and even Kear admits that so not sure why he didn't see this coming. Other clubs are going to be looking forward to playing us now. Can't see us turning it around quickly as they simply aren't fit enough to compete. What a mess.

And yet when he had the ball he made metres. Took 2-3 defenders with him, ended up on his front ensuring a slightly quicker PTB. Even ran it in well for his try. Don’t remember him missing basic tackles either. He has SL experience (at a good level) and to be honest he’d offer more than what Nzoungou and Fleming offered today.

I’d find a place for him. Even if it’s 10 at the start of the half and 10 at the emd of the half. From what I have seen. He does the basics right. Nothing flash or fancy. Makes his yards. His fitness will come the more he plays.

He was looking for a rest at marker after 5mins versus Fev despite apparently being in training with us for a year. You're deluding yourself.
