Would look at dropping handforth who was dire, i suppose i'm comparing him to branighan and holroyd who created tries for fun, but we just never looked like scoring. Bring in chandler for hesketh who it think has probably been our worst prop this year. Then look at doing something with the centres as neither really give much, paterson is better than both of them in every aspect of the game and maybe shift reittie inside and play worrincy on the wing

I would definitely want Karl to bring in Bowman next week, he may be a bit suspect in defence but you cannot doubt his attacking creativity.

Much like Bradford (although different circumstances) I hope this gives us a deserved kick up the bum and we react to it next week. A couple of tough games in a row and a reality check won't do us any harm.

I think the first 20 minutes showed how we can dominate a decent side and then the next 60 showed that theres still a ton of work to be done. I do feel if it had been dry we would have racked some more points up in that first 20 minutes but it just wasnt to be. End of the day we can afford a few blips so if it means us going out and putting things right next week then its all good. We wont have many collective off days this season so bring on the next game.

it was one loss! jeeez there are some negative people about on here! all of our 'form' players had an off day, the weather was shocking and Leigh to thier credit were awesome.

Beswick showed us up big time.

Bruised egos in the Fax dressing room, and a massive point to prove next week in what is no doubt a 'bigger' game.

get behind the lads, we're not bloody Australia!

arguably the week after is even bigger!


Exactly - I said the same after our unbelievable game v Sheff! It was one of only 4 league losses in just over two season - yet some said they weren't coming anymore!!!!!





ps - They were there v Cas!!

Featherstone should be sacking their coach today shouldn't they? This thread shows cleanly that some people still haven't got a clue about this game despite watching it for years. No-one has a given right to beat other teams easily - even those sat on the bottom. Get a grip and start enjoying The Championships instead of whining and yearning for Super League which, quite frankly, aint what it's all cracked up to be.
