The dust has settled now, we’re not in as bad a shap as some think.
9 injured (mostly key) players and we still held on.
I wish Oli Holmes was in our back row, always puts a shift in, and not just against us. I think Mellor lacks that bit of aggression if he could get that he’d be much better. I think Martin’s mind is either already on the plane home or worried about a new contract.
Broardbent is growing by the game! Alex Sutcliffe also, he’s solid without been flash. I can see him playing in the back row soon with Ablett’s old role.
We need a half alongside Gale to function fully.
The big lads are going well, but will need some support as it will take its toll if used for big minutes every week.

is Rhyse Martin OOC end of this season ? I thought he was going to be a great signing, but he does not ,goal kicking apart, bring a lot to the team really. No impact from the 2nd row with him and Mellor together.

sadly wasn't much left of him before a couple of games with gale

Ward only played 20 minutes with Gale, ward was finished well before that, we where far too loyal with him, and Walker looking like the same.

I saw the Leeming pass differently, he put it on a plate for Tom Briscoe but he wasn't alive to the opportunity at all. The latter seemed to up his work rate and involvement on the second half which makes me wonder if Agar had a word with him at half time.

Not sure if Oledskji was more related to the interchanges Dwyer /Leeming used up 4 of them. Donaldson, Smith and Thompson used anther 3, only 1 left for the other 3 players that went off.
