I know, i needed to word this better, filter them in slowly at first (that bit's done)
then as time goes by they get more game time until they are actually playing more games than the older players.

I think more of the younger players should be blooded in, to gain the experience

When Tony Smith came to our club he made two massive statments.
1 got rid of Martin Gleesson..
2 Dropped Lee Briers..
We all thought he had lost his marbles,I am sure he will turn things around and in the near future no one will look forward to facing Warrington Wolves home or away again..

Similar. I wasn't saying they were the worst, just using them to disprove your daft point.

Im disappointed Briers didn't step up when Myler got injured

The team needs to give the tackle bags some hammer this week. Too much s cragging and not enough solid tackles going in resulting in Catalans breaking the line on too many occasions. Right across the board tackles were missed. GOB seemed to be one of the only ones who had read the tackling manual.

Always interesting to see the posters who only contribute when we get beat.

How good was Higham in that first half though? I was looking through my hands in the second hlaf.

Always busier on this board when people have something to moan about!

I thought Higham was our best player today, and not for the first time this season.

Yeah i'm noticing that. I'm a longtime Wire fan but a newbie to these boards, can't believe how negative the vibe seems to be though.

I'm not convinced that there is anything that TS needs to sort out. From memory we weren't in blistering form at the start of last season either, it was only once the summer months rolled around that we hit our peak and reeled in the Pie Crusters. Given our relatively easier schedule for the next couple of months I would be surprised if we don't go into the Leeds and Hull fixtures in June in something resembling decent form and performances.
