Both teams are very poor, You can both look forward to fighting it out in the middle 8s.

Parcell looked as creative as you can be from dummy half. Our problem, yet again, we're completely reliant on McGuire being fit, and in form.

We also need a full back who can act as a pivot, so I agree re Sutcliffe

so drop last weeks man of the match and play an uncreative player in Sutcliffe who's, who looks out of form and who has never looked anything but average at full back?

Like many I expected Sutty to spend the pre season improving his positioning and goal line defence and be our first choice full back.
I wasn't surprised when Golding turned out at #1 and always thought he looks abit shaky, but after his performance at Saints he has earned the FB position. It's his to lose now, Though with this coach who knows.

As for early comments about Sutty getting more grief than the more senior Burrow I think that's because people don't see him as a HB anymore. He's been a back up hooker (sadly) for so long.

He can still find a gap and occasionally gets through one but the speed to really exploit his size and agility just isn't there anymore.
We have four half backs on the team sheet. Two are basically runners with average passing game, ones a patched up runner with a short kicking game of sorts and the last is a very slow organizing HB shipped out to Bradford.

ATM I think our best pairing is Mags and Lilley but the coach seems to have no faith in Lilley and a need to get Burrow in every game.

Interesting reading all this commentary back now we've neared the end of the season. To think after what was a dreary affair we're now second. Castleford are running away with it, but just interesting to see how much people's opinions have changed since the first round!

On this we agree Tad!
