Surely a stint in the reserves awaits.Proving to be a very bad signing.

I'd rather see Gidley in the reserves if I'm being honest.

Brown will never be good enough to take us to where we want to be. And this has been a season too far for Gidley.

Not performing as the general we need to guide us aroud the park

He's our Matty Smith... We need someone to replace him asap.

So that's 3 of our 4 top choices for the halfback positions that should be dropped to the reserves (Patton, Gidley and Brown). If Patton was deemed droppable due to form the other two should be cleaning his boots for a week.

I don't want either dropped. We need continuity in our halfs and our spine in general. Ratch, Brown, Gidley, Clark & Westerman need time out on the park together.

They are un-droppable.
No replacements.... Next idea.

Brown was a centre when he played at Wigan

We should have gone for Todd Carney.

I thought brown was better in the second half but Gidley was poor. The problem I have with our ball players is that on attacking plays the ball gets to the second rower too early. Jack Hughes often had the ball well before the line and then had to make the decisions rather than the second rower committing to run a line and the half back making the decision to hit him or miss out or go themselves.
We tend to play like an under 13's team where the ball carrier (half back) is running with the ball at an angle that is eating space up on the edges but everybody on the outside is jogging along expecting a pass rather than running a line and sticking to it. It usually ends up with 3 players within 5 yards of the touchline. To be fair though Russell scored 3 tries that should never have been scored. His first was right in front of me and when he went for it I though he was going to be bounced into touch but he was very strong.
I know Russell has took some stick but those tries took some scoring.

There is a lot of disconnect with our halfs and forwards. It seems as though this season we need to have ball players all over the park. How many times did Jack Hughes get the ball, fake a run then half heartardly throw a pass out that usually hit the deck. Young Jack should concentrate on trying to do his job and get through the line. He has been a big disappointment for me this season.

There were some on here saying he was better than Liam Farrell. Wigan usually keep hold of the good ones.

True, but never a good one. Nobody was that bothered when Noble sold him to Huddersfield.
