That's correct but if you were an opposition coach and watched the tries scored against us in't cup tie you would just get anyone with any pace to run at Muzza and hey presto! 4 points! Time is up for him as good as he's been. A certain Hall of Fame for Scott but as great as he has been for Fax and a possible future coach maybe, he epitomizes what is wrong at the club player wise.

I was surprised you brought in a half back when Tom Holmes appears to be unable to get a game at Huddersfield. He's way better than anyone you've got.

We were supposed to be covering centre/half back with DR but can only assume the better players are not available at this stage.When a good player becomes available you 100% have to take him.

Spot on, we are not even a "feeder club", we are a home for the odd lad who can't make the unbeaten top of the table team.

Back to completely misrepresenting the club again Hudds.
The fact is we have played just the two Ollies, both forwards.
Why?
Because we have a confirmed weak pack.
The offer was Huddersfield the decision was ours which turned out to be a good one on each occasion.
What alternative options do we have to try and address a problem area?
None.
When the club don’t act their wrong, when they do act their wrong.
By the way this latest signing is on loan not on DR and from Hull not Huddersfield.
At least the club hasn’t thrown the towel in yet or resorted to blaming the supporters and slagging them them off at every opportunity.

Really.
What happened to.

And on DR.

Is that the one try that was scored past Murrell, with a kick behind him?? What about the 3 trys scored down our other side, the 2 in the 2nd half in particular, one a poor misread by our centre, the other soft tackling by same centre and 3 others. I presume you went to the Rams game where without Murrell, chances are we would have lost comfortably. To be fair to him, regardless of how much in shape he is in, he will never be the quickest player, but he was set the objective of getting into shape this year and in my view he has done that and is probably as lean as he has ever been for us, and looking sharper. One things for sure, he's not responsible for us getting dominated in the pack and around the ruck and for all the penalties our forwards are giving away.

Ha, the ruck is the key because we lose it more often than not both when defending and when attacking.
It’s largely down to Line speed.
Attack.
Instead of taking the ball in at pace we rumble forward and get knocked over by the faster moving, more aggressive defender.
Then because of being on the back foot, panic and put the ball down.
Defence.
Instead of moving into the tackle at pace we rumble forward and get knocked over by the faster moving more aggressive attacker.
Then because of being on the back foot, bugger about and get penalised.

Spot on. I think the 2nd try is a very poor read by our full back. To be so far away from that kick after the distance from the play the ball to the try is not that large suggest a mis-read. The last try there is no way that player should be getting that ball down once the 3rd player is involved.
