Clueless, embarrassing,boring, and dare I say it,PRICELESS. hopefully.

Yes I would agree ; tactics or quality of players. Gelling is certainly mercurial, one minute it's a brilliant one handed pass, the next it's a cock up. In earlier matches he was trying to get the ball to Charnley but it certainly dried up in that game. Price will certainly favour the edge that is busting holes in the defence and creating chances, but even so we are wasting a high quality finisher if Charnley is never put in space.

I had forgotten about Hughes. Does anyone else think that he looks incredibly sluggish this year ? He isn't very visible at the best of times simply because of the number of tackles he gets through, but atm his attacking game seems to have all but disappeared.

He's bobbins. Says something when you're still the worst halfback on the pitch playing next to Widdop.

Nothing frustrates me more than when we have the opposition back pedalling with a fast play or 2,we are moving the ball and then it comes to Hughes or Jason Clark, move over. It must be a huge relief to the opposition, all that's going to happen is run in and take the tackle, the defence gets a chance to re set.

Don't get me wrong I like Jack Hughes as a player but both of them is just really negative. Jack Hughes would be a good loose forward and would be a better option in taking more carries to relieve the props than charnley and matty Ashton! He's also better in defence than jason Clark.

What frustrate me more is cooper n hill taking a drive in the 4th tackle !!! I can understand that our wingers and centres take the ball in early to give the props a rest but we do this from the first ti last set tackle 1/2 winger centre drive off our line tackles 3 and 4 is when we drive it in with our props and 5th tackle look to attack. Rugby may have changed from when I played but it was 1st 2nd props maybe 3rd but 4th n 5th was where we looked to put moves on to move the ball.

I get the offload it tires the defences but if it's a "tactic" why is it almost a surprise with half the team getting ready for the next set ? Surely if we are going to be offloading as much we should have 2nd phase plays its normally just lark or Austin making an extra few meters n making themselves unavailable for the next ptb.

Ratchford Austin clark cooper currie ashton king lineham charnley Philbin are the only players I would keep hill maybe but more from the bench the rest for me could be replaced and we would be no worse off. Whilst we can be one prices ability he can also only work with what he has, we dont know the recruitment process at the club. But I think that how we identify potential signings and approach them is not as good as it could be, luckily he went to wigan but we reportedly missed out on burgess and Barbara prior to that. We cannot get them all but we need to look at why they opted for saints n wigan putting aside the likelihood to win the gf.

We massively operate our squad there are too many average at best players. New coach has to come in and give the squad and club a face lift

Hughes had really 2 great seasons with us, so much so, he went onto be a full international...but he has come back from a lengthy serious injury. He is playing himself into match fitness. It is like he had a preseason to help him. The same can be said for Currie.
It happened with King and Atkins too.
I’m cutting slack with Hughes as we know where he can be, and the season hasn’t actually been kind to him to find rhythm, as with all.
I think judgement is fair better in 2021.
