Quote: Barbed Wire "Sadly, we’re miles off. Tough two weeks coming up. Leeds, Wakefield, Hull and Salford after that will see us desperate for 4 wins unless we can do the unthinkable and get something from Saints and Catalan.
I think it’s really difficult to come out of this spell. The atmosphere is hostile, the players look disengaged and we’re obviously a lesser team than what we were last season.
The only signs of hope are the kids, although Wrench got dropped, Dean got unjustly hooked in the second half (i think, unless someone can update on Dean being injured) and Longstaff is on the naughty step following Hull. There seems to be willingness to put them in but at the same time happy to take the easy decision to sit them out when a difficult conversation is to be had.'"
This season for Wire now should be all about the younger guys you’ve mentioned.
Give them game time, support them even when they make a few errors.
Get rid of a few passengers at the end of the year.
For example everyone on here seems to rate Longstaff but he can’t get in the team, yet Jason Clark played.
What’s the point? Even if Clark is slightly better right now, the long term interest would be to play the young guy who has a load of improvement in him.
