Agree, Platt and Sykes are the types of players we need now (in terms of effort).

Worrincy is the name you’re looking for - I’d put him in the same category of signing as Rikki Sheriffe!

That's the boy, Worrincy! Thanks Ewen.

He wasn't quite as good as the Banana promoted him as to be fair. Scored a winner against Saints away I remember on a day that led to the Aardvark absolutely roasting me because he knew I was gutted that we won as I wanted us to get a thrashing so that McNamara may have got punted. I didn't half get it tight on here that evening!

Id take Paul Sykes now at 40, still got more pace and would take the line on more than both our half backs!

Who have Lilley’s halfback partners been? Patten, Brough, Keyes & who else? This season the pack has been shocking, at home anyway. Everyone now knows that just attack our middles, down the middle, will score tries.
But Lilley has been our main constant at halves. If we can find a complementary half, does he have what it takes to be a consistently good Championship half back?

Chisholm and Milnes?

I think you’re right though, it’s hard to judge the half backs behind the current pack. We’re on the back foot, we don’t offload the ball, never seem to get quick PTBs.

We need a fitter, more mobile pack. I think Lilley and Payton would both look better with more runners and options. I feel like you can see what is coming from the stands so I’m pretty sure the opposition can read where the ball is going.

He seems a really nice lad does Jordan but hes just not good enough. Cant boss a game doesnt create tries doesnt take the line on, zero pace and doesnt even have the goal kicking duties any more. Time to move him on.

Neither halfback as looked anywhere near good enough this season and their expanding waistlines tell a tale too. Isn't Lilley meant to be a PT as well? In their defence I'd agree the pack has been hopeless so they've had no platform to work with.

Dan Fleming’s off the books so it’s not all bad

This year is a right off as far as it goes.
Only positive is we probably will not get relegated.
The management team need to bring in some investment from somewhere and have a clear out for next year.
Losing to keighley twice would be a new low.
Hopefully Fleming going is the start of the said clear out?.

Cherry-Evans & Munster would struggle behind our pack
