Worrying thing is, I can't see how we fix it. 


We put Lilley back in at hooker then we have Meadows who isn't good enough.  Or we put Holmes in at 7, but he's a full back and has the same issues Lilley has playing at 7. Okunbor makes good yards yet is guaranteed a brain fart. Hurrell crocked yet gets his loan extended. Hallas, I'm sorry but no team is going to win anything with him starting at 13. There's a reason he went to L1 Hunslet after he left us. And don't give me "he works hard" he doesn't do 80 minutes, never done an off-load or broken a tackle. Gives away draft pens. Remember when we had Batieri at 13! There's levels! 


Noble always you'd get a good idea of this team after round 9.


We're now in July and the facts are we haven't won a single big game. Toulouse, York x 2, Barrow away. All the others, let's be honest either weren't very good or were ravaged by injuries.  We changing our spine DURING games as we can't work out which is best. 



The goodwill of the fans has gone now. We'll beat a poor Hunslet side like we did batley and think everything's OK. York will give us a pasting. 

Holmes played most of his rugby at half back before joining us so is no stranger to tjat position.I agree Hallas is a good bloke but offers very little. Blake is still a good and very strong defensively.

I think Noble will be on borrowed time We have gone backwards this year compared to last year.

They're not learning. 
Either the message is wrong, they're not listening or they're not motivated to change. All 3 of those are coaching issues.
On paper, as Pumpety says, they should be better than this. 


Scurr isn't at his pre-injury level of impact yet, needs gametime, he gets a pass. The rest of the pack were relatively anonymous. But it's a whole team issue. I don't think the direction from the halves or hooker was great. The errors from the backs must have been so dispiriting for the team as a whole. But as we don't have many backs, we can't drop people for poor performance. Especially as Armitage limped off to the treatment room as well. 


Hurrell could do a job vs Hunslet, possibly against Oldham but he can't play against York. That's the level he is currently at. Which is sad. 


And why has no-one worked out how to play Holmes & Hooley in the same team? Everyone could see it coming and I hoped it would have been talked through in advance. 


This season has stalled. Not done yet, but needs a kickstart.
