Quote: paulwalker71 "At least Hargreaves put a bit of effort in this week, at least by comparison with his recent performances. He still needs to be more aggressive in attack for me, but I thought he put plenty into his defensive stint

As others have said, Scruton is doing nothing at the moment - laboured in attack, hiding in defence. Burgess needs to learn ball retention, and Joseph looked out of his depth, frankly

The other forward who needs to sort himself out is Whitehead. He was anonymous today in both attack and defence'"


Agreed on all fronts. We can check the stats when they get done. But for me.

Koppy is probably our best all round prop currently (top metre maker?), good work rate/metres per carry, so great going forward and very solid defensively.

Hargreaves absolutely solid defensively. One the least missed tackles in the team even tho he's towards the top end of the tackle count, and with hardly any errors (0 in 3 games?). Could do with alittle more agression in attack/ another metre per carry.

Scruton. Needs to up his game massively on all fronts.

Burgess. Absolute wrecking ball when he keeps hold of it!! But alot to learn, he's still very young. Too many unforced errors at present, poor defensively with too many missed tackles, appears not fit enough (but is that a trade off for so much power/impact in attack though? He's a completely different type of prop to Hagreaves for example and used more in a 15 min impact role)

Jospeh. Indeed looked out of his depth yesterday. And when I saw him in the bar after....possibly one of the smallest super league props going?

Whitehead indeed went missing yesterday. But generally plays well.

Strange how the teams with recognised top coaches rarely make those simple errors. Show me a team where players say that & it is usually a team in trouble.

If the players are making mistakes on the field that means mistakes are being made on the coaching ground. If the same mistakes are being made continuously by the same players then THAT is the fault of the coaches because they are not properly addressing the faults and adapting the training to remove those faults from the players game.

However, the fault is not solely at the feet of the coaches. The player must WANT to learn to improve their game. Otherwise it's all just a waste of time and that player is stealing money from the club.

Basic errors like not finding touch on penalties and taking a man out whilst he's in the air should not need that much coaching. It's just the players making 'Schoolboy' mistakes.

Sammut failing to find touch was one of the reasons we conceded in the 1st half. Next set, they went on to score. If we are to get anything out of a game against Wigan, these mistakes should not happen.

I'm not going to be as harsh on Tom B for dropping the ball so close to the line, this also led to a try but i think he knows this is an area that needs improvement.

The thing i would like to see more in our play is forcing repeat sets. The 'Great' bulls side used to do this every game, tiring the opposition and breaking them down by forcing them to defend repeatedly.

For the record, those that seem to be concerned that some fans seem content at losing by such a heavy scoreline, this is simply not the case. For my own thoughts, i'm not concerned as it's only game 3. We have a new back line, and at times we had 2 inexperienced props on the field, with a centre in the second row. I do expect to do better in future games and if we lose, i hope it's by not as much. But the team we fielded on Sunday was still missing players that i expect to make a huge difference (Elima, Manese, A fit Lulia, Purtell)

How many players were under Potter last season? 12? I would guess that is about the average for teams, especially outside the top 4.
