The reason why is = we could play fir 8 weeks and fail to put enough points on the board thaw capable of beating Wigan or wolves as our backs a crap.

I'm all those games you mention if we have had creative halves and good attacking centre we'd have won.

Made me laugh the number of Pro Players last night who backed Huddersfield on twitter, perhaps Wishful Thinking LOL

Well, not in every case. At the DW what we needed was players to be on their mettle all of the time. Alas, Ashurst and Moore went to sleep for a moment and Wigan snuck through. At Cardiff Jamie didn't have his touchline kicking boots on. Against Wire we get dropsy and I think dropsy has undermined us more than anything this season. But certainly having experienced halves would have helped in all but the game against Wigan at Widnes (when they would have made no difference). However, the only way to have experienced halves is to give halves the experience, and experience means failure as well as success. Fans need patience.

When we got tonked it was not because of the halfs. It was because the forwards could not get us out of our half. In the closer games yep a long may have won it for us. But what can you do Eastmond useless Pryce injured. The lads who stepped in ran them asclose as they could. Not bad for a first year. better for it now and next year.

That's very nice, but I fail to see how it is relevant to my point?



Thus far, they have been. But if Wire don't win the GF, that will count for diddly $hit when the other teams share out the major trophies.

Well you'll know better than me. Do we have a back on the bench. Pppllease be no.

We do seam to have gone for less risk, and so less reward at times. That does seam to come from the coach.

ie less risk lets put a back on the bench, incase a back gets injured. Most games the back is sat having no effect. It's a risk averse stratergy but bring up other problemslike other players playing too many minutes in a game.

Is that really a problem though? It's not like we've run out of gas that often except perhaps against the big teams which has usually been more down to being behind anyway i.e. less possession. When was the last time we exploded out of the blocks against a half decent team?

I'll treat this as a loaded question. ie who do you call a half decent team?

I'm assuming by this you mean Wigan and Warrington. My analysis of half decent would be a top 6 side.

But going on Wigan or Warrington, the last time was probably good friday at the DW.

Also depends what you mean by exploded. But some say Wigan exploded us in the semi final and that was 2 tries late in the first half.

Yup. He stated very clearly when Lomax and Gaskell first stepped into the roles that he had simplified the game plan to enable them to play. He has also stated that because injuries have repeatedly disrupted the side he has been unable to build on the basics, which makes perfect sense.

Assuming whatever the problem is which has caused our injury crisis this year is resolved ahead of next season, we should see a more complex attack developing as our rookies will have more experience and there will be more stability, allowing for more complex plays to evolve.
