Well if you now believe we actually do have the players to play better football then we agree that the coach needs to address that fact as his current style isn't getting us far.

Quote: Saddened! "But unlike cards, you are not dealt your players. You are free to cut them loose and sign some new ones that can play the way you want. Personally I think we're trying to play like an NRL side, but have awful players and a rookie coach who is in the job as he thought it would be fun rather than because he's got any coaching ability.'"


I wouldn't mind the ultra-conservative stuff half as much if we were actually any good at it.

My opinions have been pretty consistent for some time now. If you can't keep up with them I'm not going to lose any sleep.

Look, we are two games into the season. TWO. At this time last season Paul Anderson's Huddersfield couldn't buy a result. The last time I checked Huddersfield neither bought a new team nor changed a great deal between then and finishing as arguably the form side going into the playoffs.

I'm not saying there aren't issues which need to be addressed. But two or three wins and the entire emphasis of the side can change.

As the saying goes, [i"If you can keep your head while those around you are losing theirs ..."

It was the 'WE DONT HAVE THE PLAYERS' followed by the 'I never said we didn't have the players to play more expansively' that confused me.

They (Hudds) also finished 3rd due to our capitulation in the super 8s, got nowhere near a challenge cup win and got spanked in the semi final by an ordinary Wigan side.

At the end of the day we both want the same things I'd love nothing more than for KC to prove me and many others wrong and bring a good style back and good results. We have a capable squad and hopefully he uses it to it's full potential as nobody enjoys criticising a club legend.

I don't think I'm saying anything revelatory in pointing out that we don't have an exceptional group of backs. Couple this with one functioning playmaker out of three and I think our situation is plain too see.

I've already said that we do have a lot of options in the forwards and we should definitely be offloading the ball more and running one forward off the shoulder. But beyond that I don't think we have the personnel to effectively and consistently create holes outside the centre channel.

I think we should see were we are come Easter now that the world club challenge is out of the way and hopefully KC starts looking at our playing options, Lomax, Percival and Fages will improve our attack but they need to be on the park.
