1 Wellens - still up to the job but should have more support in defence
2 Lomax - needs experience and team needs his pace
3 Gidley - should improve with faster winger to support him
4 Meli - much stronger attacking than defending. His size and storming runs should be more of a virtue here.
5 Wheeler - here for same reason as Lomax
6 Pryce - needs to buck his ideas up to keep this but lets give him a little more time to gel with...
7 Eastmond - ought to stay here to make 7 his own. Organsing will come when team mates all do their part.
8 Graham - can`t fault him. Regular interchanges to keep him fresh.
9 Moore - needs to settle at 9 so he can improve confidence and get more involved in play.
10 Fozzard - needs to step up. Regular interchanges with Fa`asavalu.
11 Clough - excellent workhorse. Good stamina on this lad so keep him on for as long as he`s up to it
12 Puletua - I`m undecided as yet. Steady player but still needs settling in team (?) so keep him here
13 Wilkin - want to see more creativity, he`s well capable. Remember him at 7?

Roby - versatile interchange. Remarkable at 2 v Hull.
Cunningham - regular interchange with Moore.
Flannery - cover for 11-13
Fa`asavalu - cover for 8,10,11,12

1-13 I`d like to see as regular spots. We need consistency in positions, giving each one chance to settle and exploit their individual strengths. Where a player is out, not muck about changing people around, rather, replace with squad and interchange players.

I see many players down on confidence but with more spritely wingers, fresher forwards and more inventiveness at the front we should see more interesting gameplay.

Apart from that... Potter out!

Thats a ridiculous post. Leon's effort is the not the reason he's not doing too well. He still works as hard, takes as many carries up, does as many tackles and works as hard in defense. It's just with no organising half back alongside him he's a little lost and his form has dipped. But to criticise his effort is out of order IMO.

guys your 1 game in, you lost the 1st 5 last season or was it 08 and still made old trafford, get behind your team enjoy the game today woteva the result, hopefully bradford win, saints will still be up there come autumn, hopefully bulls will be too

i dont agree, he just doesnt seem interested at all

I was being a little harsh earlier maybe but I think Pryce's head does go down when things arnt going his way and he does go missing when we need someone to stamp their authority on a game. Pryce simply isnt a standoff, but Potter dosnt have the balls to move him.

As for Leggohead at centre, I dont doubt he will try really really hard but that wont make him any better , this isnt u10's Rugby where effort makes up for a lack of ability or pace

I don't think he does take as many carries, but agree with the rest.
