I'm not sure whether we need to panic or not.....the right edge was abysmal in defence but we had a winger who isn't a winger and kept trying to do a centre's job, and a centre who hasn't been able to claim a regular spot in the team because he always does exactly what he did last night. Return to normal - Tai at centre and Thewlis out wide - and the problem should disappear again.

In attack, we had a playmaker who is 1) past his sell-by date, 2) traditionally less than creative or scintillating at half-back and 3) unable to command a regular team spot. When normal service is resumed, that should sort itself out as well, surely?

Yes we did look like the 2023 vintage wire, but we also made some 2023 team choices that must have played a role.

Flash in the pan, I hope. Don't panic, don't panic. We're not doomed.

-- Cheers Chris:15597.jpg



Quote: Barbed Wire "He finished both chances, fair enough. But aside from that there wasn’t much to report on. Didn’t carry the ball anywhere near often enough, or strongly enough. For comparison, Ashton mad 120+ more meters. Of the 4 wingers, he was 100 meters short of each at least. Got beat on the outside ball watching for the try in the first half, and came up and in again for their try in the second half, but I’ll caveat that with a bit of nervousness given the earlier no-try, I think he’s trying to protect Wrench/Ratchford more than a bad read.

Tough night for him. Decent player, yes, but he was the worst winger on the field, and I would pick every centre bar Wrench above him last night. Put it this way, if that was Greg Minikin last night, this board would be in meltdown.

Back in the centre next week, get back to basics and rebuild into the form of a few weeks ago.'"


Tai is a Poundland Ryan Atkins. He has no game smarts. When or how to pass, where to position himself or what lines to run. I really hope we don't offer him another contract. I'd rather develop Lindop and Wrench. While on Wrench, I raiser earlier in the season that I was worried I was seeing zero progress in him knowing how to position himself in defence and it's costing us tries. I still have this opinion.

Wrench just needs to play. He needs a loan move and play 80 minutes in the same position every week. For various reasons, he’s been in and out of the team. But he needs to learn the game. Every match is like he’s been plucked from the stands and thrown in at the deep end. There’s a rough diamond in there, but he needs to get a grip of his role.

Well said Bunkaib

`You could see Salfords plan big kick from Sneyd to Dufty getting him to run back in and he wasn't involved as much in the attack as well as offload and get wide`

Great coaching from Rowley.

Speaking of centres, why hasn't that Bruines been given a run yet?

He has had hamstring injury, and consequently hasn`t played a game yet for our Reserve team.

I saw him at yesterday`s Reserve game and he was walking OK, but not sure where his recovery is up to
