| Mellor was much more effective today, cant say the same about martin. Holroyd/king when eithers ready need to come in for Donaldson as things stand, too many steady industrious back rowers not enough impact with the ball. Tetevano, Mik and Prior all very good but the middle drops off as theres nothing backing it up off the bench to keep the levels up. Looking forward to seeing Tetevano off the back of not having to do as much of the heavy lifting in yardage to make the most of his threat with the ball.

The 6 again Tom Briscoe gave away just before there last try was a back breaker, really stupid from him, thought we were getting on top of them at that point.
Broadbent class again'"
Game was done as soon as Briscoe gave that pen away I agree.
Broadbent looked great - it's got talent!

| Quote: Dewsburyrhino1 "I actually would give a bit of a shout out to Alex Mellor, he gets a lot of stick but i thought he ran hard today and played well.
Overall whilst disappointing to lose I thought we played well, certainly more positives than negatives, just need to be smarter in attack.
Tetevano is an absolute beast too.'"
Yeah I’m not convinced with Mellor still but thought he was solid today.
I usually stick up for T Briscoe but not keen on that performance from him. Tindall already offers more going forward, but his positional play / D looked poor last year.
I would be lining up Broadbent to play left centre, and Newman on the right going forward. Jack’s been MoM or close to it three games in a row, has to keep a place in the side if fit.

| Im a fan of Donaldson but not sure he added anything today, would like to see what King offers instead
Bit worried about Oledski, did he get on in the second half hope he’s not picked up an injury

Mellor much better, too much run sideways running from Martin. I would bring in Walters for Donaldson.

| Although I think the club has turned the corner massively from our slump, we have a lot of decisions to make this year to really kick on.

If and its a big if, Eastmind works out he will add a lot yo the team, we’re just missing that little bit of pace snd class in the halfbacks
I think we’ll go ok if we can get some players back

| When fit I would play Newman at left centre. That is his true position and he should get a proper shot at it and not be stuck on the wing. There will plenty of chances for Broadbent covering centre, wing and full back over the next 18 months or so. Think a winger with real speed is a priority recruitment wise. It's been left alone for a couple of years now because we've had other priorities, but next year is the time.

I would give m his chance when we have a our first choice centres back.

| I’m not convinced longer term about our back row with Mellor and Martin. They don’t give enough punch imo. Mellor needs to improve a heck of a lot imo and sharpish. Needs a big season

Martin seems to always play better when Lui plays and ays well, i think Martin struggles without decent service

I’m sure the club will work it out but I reckon Broadbent does Newman for pace and skill, and Newman does Broadbent for acceleration and footwork. Newman is more aggressive. A decent winger outside Broadbent will score a hatful. I can see Newman being a physical specimen in a few years and he played pretty well on the right when Hurrell was left.
Broadbent is definitely still developing but he is a classic centre.

Tindall isnt the answer.

| Concur with most of this. Glad we didn't get stretched out wide this week. I don't think we offered much of a threat of our own in that regard though. Martin offered little. Smith just slows the play down too much for me. Hall needed to be getting the ball before the tackler was on him. We're still not putting up contestable bombs. I thought Liam was more involved this week, but never a first choice half. Broadbent and Tetevano have been mentioned. As have A Sutcliffe's big hits, Mik not getting back on and needing to see more of Tindall when Hurrell's back. Mellor did ok for mine. King needs to be in the 17 to justify signing.
