Hodgson is joke

I'm not sure about moving Walker to the wing (has he ever played there?) but other than that, no complaints.
In a team crying out for some creativity Connor is wasted in the centres imo.

Why haven't we dropped a number of players who failed last month big time ?

About time we dropped them and played loads of youngsters

What we got to lose ? we're getting hammered even playing the 1st teamers

The youngsters will get valuable super league experience

We won't make the play offs and we can't go down

And before idiots get on their high horse yes we're only just outside play offs .....but we can't keep a team to within 20 most weeks !

Re: Toulouse next : Thu Jul 28, 2022 12:17 pm  

I'm not sure how useful dropping 3 or 4 inexperienced players into an already depleted and struggling side is going to be.
Odds are it'll just deepen the mire and the kids won't get an awful lot out of it.
I agree there are a number of players very lucky to still be selected but given the personnel available I disagree about making wholesale changes.

Connor has got the most assists in SL from full back. We need the ball in his hands as much as possible. Him playing centre doesn't do that.

For me Connor wasn't great at 6 last week but that just epitomised the utter shambles the 17 were. Walker was brought in to fill the FB role but Connor is back so we either give him Connor time to play at 6 or put him back where he has been the most effective. Guess a lot also depends if the rumour about Lovodua is true and won't make the game due to Covid. If so likely be 1. Walker, 6. Connor, 7. Gale, 9. Houghton and 13, Smith.
Some decisions need to be made by BH to get the best out of a very poorly performing group both as a team and individually, I just hope he decides wisely.

Looking at our squad I have to make them the favourites. If we get the result then it will be a good win.

Another game with half of our wage bill sat in the stands as we make our way down the table.

They must be favourites. I can accept a defeat with effort but not another capitulation.

he had the ball in his hands against Cas but he either dropped it or put out a rubbish pass

We shouldnt be accepting defeat against the joint bottom club in the league irrespective of injuries or suspensions
