just my opinion but with the floods at kirstall training ground it must be a bit of a ball ache training here there and not having the luxuries of what they where used to. sooner they get the training ground sorted the better cant be easy. anybody heard when its gonna be sorted and g4 pitch refitted .

Of all the back five, he's my main concern. I reckon he and we have been lucky that many of our opponents have opted to kick to Handley. That won't last, unless RH's form picks up and the results could be very embarrassing.

The alleged enforced break due to injury might be the kick up the backside he needs. Hopefully, he won't waste that time experimenting with his hair dye solutions.

Hall's inability to catch is because the training ground got flooded.

That was only so we could practice bringing on the sub!

He seems to have lost a bit of pace as well. All well and good having nice footwork, but you gotta get through the gap

didn't look too slow to me at Catalans a few weeks ago. if its in regards to him being caught by Dawson watch it back, he thinks he is been chased by the inside defender only and doesn't know Dawson is behind him, he was cruising.

I agree. Shocking complacency though.

I think the loss of Peacock, Leuluai and Sinfield on the field cannot be understated. I think the players mentioned have had to take on extra responsibility in addition to playing their natural game. Can be difficult.

FFS, how long are we going to bemoan the loss of Sinfield and Peacock. They've gone, move on and rebuild. That's what the coach and team are trying to do. No amount of moaning will bring back retired / defected players

Re Watkins, I watched the GF again the other day and I thought his biggest problem was being asked to defend third or even fourth man in a lot of the time. That means a big tackling load, which must dent his attack. I can't think of a similarly classy attacking player being asked to do so much donkey work.
