Blimey ... it is quiet on here tonight. If that pass hadn't have been given forward ...there would be a million giving their advice. Strange world.

We have wafer thin back up. We need more cover now.

Sort of. We definitely need to replace one or both of Mikaele and Maguire.

Get Nicholson back (couple more weeks) and then Harrison can get back in the middle.

Get Philbin back and bench looks a lot stronger with him and one of the other middles there.

Did Russell come on today?

May also have something to do with a small football match going on somewhere.

Picking Russell as sub. shows our lack of depth. He is never an ideal sub.
But once we decided that Matuatia is our best back up half-back it left us very thin.

Blimey we don't half do it tough..walker thewlis excellent..need to step up a few gears next week or a walloping is on the cards..as for Liam six again Moore and failure I despair with there erratic decisions..but a wins a win..now a few whiskies are needed

Really don't know what to make of that tbh, delighted to have got the win but we very nearly blew it.

Walker, Currie, Kasiano and Thewlis excellent, moments of brilliance and moments of real sloppiness especially in defence.

At the start of the season Marshall was my unsung hero for what he had done with the defence - whatever it was, we need to get back to it.

Think Green shown he should not have been left on the bench last week.

Re: Today’s game v Giants. : Sat Jun 10, 2023 7:53 pm  

Some good carries by Green today & the forwards stood tall . I thought Bullock was like Chris Hill at his best ,we just need to get the backs linking up with the forward platform. We seem ,as always , short of ideas close to the line & our only attack is passing from wing to wing & back again in the hope that somebody comes up with an idea. How about plays where attackers are put through gaps to take on the line? What's happened to our sliding defence the kept opponents from scoring? Sort our defence out & winning will be easier.

Positive - 2points
Negatives - we can't defend, we can only seem to attack effectively from our own half

Nobody said we should be hammering them, but any team should need to do more to score against us than Huddersfield did. Every try they scored was completely preventable.

This, we do so much hard work and then let it be undone so cheaply with really soft defence.
