Goose. You're right about Moss but wrong about Heffernan. Both class players with Moss slowly developing his wing skills. Heffernan is a good finisher and noticeably backed off a mid air tackle last week against Sheffield. Both pacey and good in defence.

In my opinion, Moss will benefit from being outside of Heffernan as he will pass to him, whereas Minns is altogether more selfish in possession. Dewsbury not a wingers ground as too narrow.

I'm more than prepared and happy to be wrong about Heffernan, I think I can remember last weeks pull up, North end of the East, East end of the North. I was about to go spare.

Crown Flatt is a dog of a ground to play at, bettered only by my own personal Hell, Post Office Road.

His passport is irrelevant as he is non-fed trained. However his dispensation following the Bulls liquidation is very important. His form thus far is disappointing, but it would be worse if he was occupying a quota spot.

I agree, I've been underwhelmed with Moss so far, whether its the big wraps the bulls fans were giving him that inflated expectations or not I'm not sure but he has flattered to deceive so far. Maybe he's just not a winger but I can't see him getting a go at full back either.

Heffernan is getting better, I think there is a player in there that will get better.

I'm struggling generally to see where we are at the moment, are we really good or is the opposition just that bad? I'd have expected us to be challenged a bit more by now but our biggest challenge games have been more down to us not using our heads and lettiing teams back in (Rochdale & London) rather than anything they have done. We are currently just walking though this division and my worry is that once we come up against anything half decent we could come a cropper.

Jury's out in a lot of areas but guess we'll see more improvement as weeks go on. i agree we could do to get through next week and play Huddersfield in the next round to see where we are.

At the moment it seems we are to good for this league but not good enough for super league but has people have said time will tell and I hope its in our favour

Re: Genuine question : Mon Mar 13, 2017 9:04 am  

At this moment in time Huddersfield and more likely Widnes are who were most likely to be capable of knocking off.... agree we are in danger of becoming complacent, it all depends on recruitment and injuries undoubtably

There are some very sensible comments on here regarding your current strength. You really need a hard slog of a match as up to now you've been running over teams too easily. As Barham Red says is that because you're too good or the opposition is too poor. Having to dig in to win a game tells you more about the players than these walkovers.

There were points yesterday, when the ref decided that Greenwood had murdered his family and the pets, that made us have to defend for prolonged periods and I thought we defended well enough but there were very few questions asked. The only try came when the ref called held, we let the player go and he scored and the ref thought that was ok. So we did dig in I suppose. But we definitely need a challenge soon.

Re: Genuine question : Mon Mar 13, 2017 11:45 am  

Moss is wasted on the wing,needs to be involved more, pace to burn, imo a possibility to be used as a halfback.A similar player to quinlan and I think either could play in the halfbacks if injury struck abdull or ellis and also I fear our lack off pace in the halfbacks may be exposed in the middle 8s.

Why pass when you're about to score it yourself? Minns and Heffernan are miles better than any of the wingers they have outside them at the moment.

I'm all for giving Moss more time on the wing but once again he didn't back himself yesterday when he had his chance in the 2nd half. He's still young and learning I suppose but if he's still misfiring/unconfident towards the end of the season he will be a liability.

It'll be funny when Dewsbury come to CP, they'll leave 5 metre gaps on each edge.
