Apart from your apparent affinity with Sheffield United spot on Sam ha ha.

We were a decent team, things were on the up, John Kear said we were "the real deal", on the Super League show and Captain Peacock didn't disagree. Come to think of it neither did anyone on here

its a funny old game.....

ignore him, he's a pig.

Smith will sort it, he's got a challenge on his hands and as usual he'll rise to it. If we're still playing as dourly as we did against Hudds in 5-6 weeks time then we can start to panic. In fact if we haven't improved by the start of May and Cameron is also in Number 10 - i'll just have to end it all. A good performance against Widnes would be a nice fillip.

Think you'll find that there's no solution to the half back problem.

So no matter of Clark, Sims et Al improve or not. Without a half back to take advantage then it will be useless

The half back situation is totally at Smith’s door and if he can't see it then we're well and truly stuffed. To have not addressed it, is either stupidity or sheer arrogance on his part.

O'Brien is a championship scrum half and nobody at all at 6. If Smith is this genius then why hasn't he sorted it. Full backs and wingers of the opposition think our kicks are a simple training exercise, as we find them with unerring regularity.

Surely Every person would agree that the money for Clark should've been spent on a top class half.

One thing is certain with the worst half backs and kicking game in SuperLeague this team is going nowhere

I expected us this season (without a top drawer half) to play an explosive game from dummy half - Higham and Clark working in tandem on the pitch at same time for a fair chunk of the game. Basically we need to play to our strengths but alas that kind of gameplan is easily nullified. As you say our half back issues are not going to be solved this season but i'm expecting/hoping that Smith adopts a style of play that'll have us challenging for honours despite the obvious weaknesses.

I would rather Smith played Patton instead of Bridge tbh, give the lad a chance to prove himself as bridge is doing nothing this season but stealing a living.

If only Smith was an ex halfback, if only Agar was an ex halfback and if only Briers was an ex half back, we could probably use halfback coaches to teach our current lot...sorry but what positions did our current 3 coaches play again...i forget?

Unfortunately they're getting nothing out of the half backs, either they're not listening or they're not good enough. I'd say a combination of the two. But one tuning is certain they're nothing like good enough, for a team that wants to supposedly challenge.

This team will be at best 4th at what fighting to stay in 8

I thought TS played at 6 Yed.

6-7...halfbacks

Arrh yes. I read on.

Oops!

Second worst attack in the league 131 points, tells you all you need to know about where this team Is heading.

Smashed in the pack and clueless in attack

This team is in trouble

May as well rip my season ticket up now then eh???

Nope as long as we're realistic and expect to be amongst the also rans then it'll be OK.

But you must agree it'll be a massive struggle with the current lack of creativity
