I was thinking the same myself - this time last year we were still enduring the Alex Brown episode. I think we are nearly there and hopefully we will hit our sweet spot soon. I think we all hoped we would kick on from where we left off but not sure how realistic this was. Someone said that 5 of our lads had to have operations in the off season so think that will have had some impact. It was great to see Miles looking so strong and good to have Tommy back - although he isn't that fast now , his grit and experience are really valuable. We could have done with him for the Batley game.
We still have Potts to return, Tyrer said on Facebook that he should be back soon and is looking good. There is still Grix too but not sure whether the intention is for him to play or just coach.
We could just do with a win now to build confidence

I said that about charge downs they just give the opposition another set of six 9 times out of 10 and only benefits you when near their line and hardly ever when you are in your own 20.

We keep on changing the rules in RL, and this one would be an easy one to tweak. Don't reset the tackle count for a charge down. Simple.

Yeah, the Leigh dummy runner blocks off the most direct path to smith which buys Smith half a yard IMHO not intentional but still obstruction in my view. All irrelevant now though.

Another game that's got away from us and we literally could have won every match this season so far and been sitting pretty at the top of the league. A little bit of tweaking and we could easily go on another long winning run. Miles in at FB, what a good return he had, Sharp on't wing and Murrell at LF when fit and we won't go far wrong. Victorian, Fax. Bristol Beer Factory, Independence 4.6 % Mmm!

There has been a lot of talk on here from various people calling for Scott to play at 13, however nobody seems to have considered the extra defensive effort that would be required from him. At the moment, playing at 6, he defends between wing and centre. At 13 he would be 3, maybe 4 players further inside in defensive line. A modern loose forward would be expected to make 30-35 tackles minimum over 80 minutes. The physical effort required from Scott would render him a passenger in attack.
However, with Scott at 13 and Moore + Jonno at HB's at least we have Scott's leadership on the field, which at the moment is a massive factor.
