Handley back to the wing, SOS to the Momster. He was never that bad defensively.

I understand people hate Frawley but he was our second best spine player after Croft today. Not that this is saying much on the performance we've just been subjected to.

Gannon's showing was a positive. He seemed like one of the few forwards capable of breaking the line.

Honestly think thats our lot for the season, once again all preseason just more talk cannot deliver. This side is dire and is no where near good enough snd never will be. Be a long season to finish 7-8th again

A backline reshuffle with Miller and the new guy coming in, and Jenkins and Jarrod in the pack, could make a big difference. The worrying thing is that we should have had enough in the squad to beat the promoted side in game 1, assuming we have any ambitions to improve on last season.

Jenkins was deemed to be 5th choice prop I'm not sure how that changes much but mik won't be playing next week

Wakefield were solid and showed they’d be ok this year.

Our defensive structure on both edges was badly undone in the first half . Handley had a steep learning curve but the other edge was just as guilty. I thought Frawley and Ackers were particularly bad, and for me Gannon has to start over Bentley based on that showing. Ditto O’Connor if fit for Ackers.

I’d also think about putting hall back on the left now Sivo is gone

Ive just typed a long rant and the forum reloaded.

Can’t be d typing it again.

Im fuming, im not saying we shouldn’t have got rid of Rohan but can you see us scoring some of those trys we did early on last year? I can’t

Concentrated on Fitness to the detrement of actually playing rugby.

Nothing positive to take from today at all. Stripped out wide from very early on in the game, Wakey were far too good without actually having to do anything spectacular. They just played a really solid, structured game. We were dire with and without the ball. BA will be earning his corn this week that's for sure. Anyway, on to Salford. Can't wait.

My worry is BA said in his presser we need to keep it simpler, I’m not sure how much more simpler we can play

We may well have but we looked gassed half way through the second half.
