Certainly yes- up until the Wigan away game.

I think all the Roberts hating is disguising our biggest problem .
The fact Atkins is neutralising our biggest attacking threat

Ratchford? How so?

Lol I think you know I was talking about Charnley. As much as im not a big Toby King fan he gave a better pass than Atkins.
Wouldn’t be surprised to see Pompleroy on that right channel against Hull

Charnley was more guilty than most of letting certain aaah prickly Wigan characters get under his skin, knock him of his game and take advantage yeaterday.

Given we will be facing the Lord Mayor of Scrotes, MrJake Connor, next week we all need to be fully focussed and answer any intimidation in the best way - with two points.

Indeed. Brown and Charnley rose to the bait from the off. We need a right hard bugger in the front row/pack as well.

Well other than vs a jetlagged Wigan we haven't beaten the top 4 teams(assuming Hull beat KR).
I even think that defeat has blown all the team weaknesses clear open.
The bubbles burst.
I can only see a Dire vs Dull game next week.
Tbh we need Robert's to step up now. After Wigan, I can't see a win until Salford at home.

A bit less Joy Division and a bit more ABBA please, Mr Duck.

We [ihave[/i, however, handsomely beat last years two grand finalists so come on, lighten up, Meghan looked lovely, the sun is out and it's veggie curry for tea.

I have a dream, where the winner takes it all, that's, the name of the game!....however I'm feeling more Status Quo on the level.

Did Atkins manage a pass to Charnley in that game?

I don't know. Do you know the name of the fella in the 2nd row if the stand that caught it?

Roberts was the least of our worries in that game provided to lovely passes and that D ball for BMM to break the line was a joy to watch. He musn't be confident in his knee as any half who has provided a pass for a big fella like that to coast through the Defense would be right up on his shoulder for support.

We're currently seeing a half with great vision and his kicking game is also vey good. however at the minute he's an organizing player, not a flair player. As Brown is also an organizing player it makes our halves look bang average. A half back pairing needs a thinker and a runner, Sandow was able to look as good as he was because he had an organizer to compliment his individual flair (plus he was unbelievably good). Put a Sandow in that team alongside Roberts and we'd be laughing.

I don't question the standard of Roberts passing and kicks, I'm a little miffed at the volume.

Roberts isn't playing poorly, he's a step above any half back we have had since Briers in my view - although Brown is obviously much, much improved on last season and possibly on a level with him. Thing is, he has that marquee tag, so he needs to be one of the best players in SL - he's a long way from that currently, BUT, if he can get his running game going, he'd be much improved as he would add that extra doubt in to the defenders mind. In my view he's either injured (in which case I just wish they would just say that), or being told by Price top play a certain way.

I wouldn't get too misty eyed over Sandow, he was excellent, almost unplayable for the opening 8 or 9 games in 2016 (he played 30 games in all I think) but before that, and after it, he was largely anonymous.

It's unfortunate he's not on a piece work contract with bonuses.
