From what Ive been told and seen at yesterdays game your bang on, the senior players in the team dont pay any attention to what the coach says young liam hood looked desperate to get on stood on the sideline waving a bit of paper with the number of player who the coach wanted to take off and was ignored 3 times that spoke volumes to me I know that players hate being subbed but surely the coach should determine the rotations not the players to me this begs the question why the players arnt interested in what the coach wants maybe they feel he is out of his depth and doesnt make any sense in what he is coaching them. Didnt Bluey say something about player power when he resigned or am I imagining that?
In public they all praise Brian but in private I will wager its a different matter

That's very true but luckily for our right side defence Burrow defends on the left, which yesterday was unlucky for Keinhorst as he was called on to make or at least attempt to make 40+ tackles.

That's not correct should Catalans beat Wigan...in that scenario (and if we made it past Wakefield) we would go to the loser of Warrington v St Helens

Either way not confident.
TBH I am not looking past Wakey. In a good run of form, we are not and they are capable of beating us on the day.

Yes, but part of BOTH centres' increased workload is down to the absence of the extra defender in the middle squeezing them both in, rather than just which of them the hooker stands outside.

I don't think we're at odds here. Over-loading the inexperienced Keinhorst/Burrow combination was a no brainer as it would also lesson the threat posed by Burrow out of acting half once Hood had played his debut starting cameo.

How desperate must the CEO have been to secure a starting hooker when he knew he'd be unavailable in potentially key matches down the line. An admission of 'oops I've f[i**ke[/id up here' in releasing Diskin then Buderus without confidence in the line of succession... perhaps.
