| I'm just as concerned about our pack to be honest, other than hill I don't really think our props are up to much. England could be good enough but I don't think he is fully adjusted yet, woody has been good for us but he is still nothing special and asotasi is just horrible to watch. Our only real light is being held by Ben Evans who is very unfortunately out injured just as he was coming good, I am not sure if Harrison would be better at prop or as a long term second row option. Either way I think releasing carvell is looking like a terrible decision.
Myler needs more time than he is being given to do anything effective, for me ratchford would be one of the first names on the team sheet but it's hard to choose any other half than bridge at the minute.

| Bizarre decision to not play Bridge and Ratchford from the start together.

| Overall, it needs sorting, this article in rugby league world actually IN my opinion shows you what's wrong, personally I think we're sorted for 6, we need a leading 7.
4 interchanging isn't a solution long term, we need a settled pairing to guide us around, I'd be inclined to make a cheeky bid for Scott dureau

I wouldn't be surprised to see Ryan Atkins moving to second row.

He is certainly strong enough. I think we need another quality prop sims would be good as prop or second row. I hope he bring all of his aggression we are a bit too nice this season.

| Find me any half back pairing that can work behind a pack where our best prop we have gives the team the go forward with a total of four drives in that first half ... It aint gonna happen .

| Myler is dreadful, full stop.
Never seen him take a game by the scruff of its neck and boss it, dare I say he's probably too busy being a celebrity husband these days!
Only thing he's been good at is being at the end of moves to score the odd try with some pace.
Koukash might be stupid enough to snap him up and let us make some of the fee back.
And I'm not going to even start with Asotasi!

You can have him on loan until the end of the season.

| Myler played reasonably well today (today, for me, was a lack of pace and power in the forwards). But he's too much in the back seat while plays are about to start for a Scrum Half. He's not really a first receiver type of player. What he does have is incredible support play (he's always there when someone makes a break) and his kicking from hand is probably the best in our team. He gets over the top stick, for me.
We don't have any natural Half Backs in our team. So when we play any of them together they don't particularly work that well. Sometimes it'll come off, or sometime one or the other will have a good game. But overall none of them really work that well together.

| First half - myler and ratchford in the halves and we were worse than abysmal in attack. Second half - myler and Bridge in the halves and we create more chances(and blew them)than leeds did in the entire game. Now either bridge is some sort of world class stand off or the problem lies elsewhere. Is all this based on the fact we paid a large fee for myler and got ratchford for free? Because anyone who wants to slag off myler after today and think ratchford is even a championship standard halfback needs to have a long think. We've tried ratchford in five different positions now and is anyone the wiser to where his actual best position is?

At the start of the season we were clueless in attack with Myler & Ratchford at halves
We switched Bridge to stand-off in Myler's abscnece and went on a long unbeaten run
Today first half we had Myler & Ratchford in the first half and were clueless in attack
Second half we moved Bridge to stand-off and Myler spent most of the time at acting half-back and were much improved
The problem is there somewhere, but it ain't Bridge and it ain't Ratchford.

| While we're looking for scapegoats how about getting shut of Russell who gave the most stupid penalty away which set the tone for the opening sets and has absolutely zero game intelligence, Ratchford for kicking out on the full straight after and contributing nothing at half back, Simon Grix for dropping two balls that directly resulted in tries for Leeds and Chris Hill for knocking on 20 metres from the Leeds line when we had the momentum. Although that was all probably Myler's fault too.

| Well if we played well in the second half and it was all bridge's doing, then surely the 10 game unbeaten run was all down to him to? Anybody want to answer the question as to where they think ratchford should play? He tried two positions today and was gash in both. I always thought we had bought him to replace hodgson, but the signing of russell put paid to that.
