| I think it was made very clear today that a Sykes-Kearney half back combination just isn't going to work, neither was simply creative enough in my opinion.
Why do coach's insist on playing Sykes at 6 when quite clearly he doesnt have the skill set to play such a cruical position. I would have liked to see Addy start at 6 or put Ah Van in there and bring Ainscough in onto the the wing.
Its not the end of the world and who here expected us to win either of our first 2? I know I certainly didn't! A new team, injuries to key players and a new coach.
Time to focus on Crusaders and getting our first win of the season!

| Lets hope Herbert is back next week. And also that Bryn won't be put in at Loose!
If Herbert's not back then Southernwood should be risked.

Done. 25/01/17.: |

| Sorry, I shouldn't have made the comments about his injury. I retract them.
But as everyone has pointed out he's no 6, so why the hell hasn't Potter learnt this? He can't have failed to notice before.

I very much doubt Potter will play Cain. Quite simply put at the fans forum, he said Cain just isnt big enough yet to play super league and he requires more development before getting a chance!

Beggars can't be choosers, when both halves are out any team would struggle to fill both

Well done for being man enough to make the apology.
Potter's got his hands tied with both halves imo. If he plays a youngster, he risks overexposing them and they could take a major confidence knock. If he plays somebody out of position they won't be up to scratch. We'll be okay once Herbert is back next week.

We need some creativity in there though.
He said he isn't big enough for the rigours of SL week in, week out. But he played well in the friendlies (I know, not near the intensity of SL) and one game to see how he plays wouldn't be too much of a risk.

From what I hear, he could have played today but he didn't want to be risked, and rightly so. He should be in next week.

I think he should be in at 13 whether herbert is back or not.
He has huge potential, and (long term) is seen as a loose. Perfect opportunity to give him some gametime with Langley out imo.

| I'm trying to think of a positive but I am really struggling. Very strange player selection which baffled me.
Hopefully this performance will shut up the idiots on here that still think we can 'make do' with a makeshift 6 and 7 like today.

why not - we (saints) went into a grand final without 2 recognised half backs???
Thats what you get with Potter baffling team selections and just for information - if you are behind at half time you may as well go home - fight backs dont happen.

Per Potter on radio leeds on't way home, Herberts rated at 80% fit. Hopefully, he can get back to full fitness through the week or at least fit enough to play next week - Sykes/Kearney simply cannot be the half backs next week!

You also got to the GF with make shift halfbacks.
I'd take no fightbacks and baffling selections along with a GF appearance tbh.
