bmm has to be used when he is running and not given when standing still!

FROm a neutral point of view think it's pretty harsh on Russell last night, thought he made good yards went looking for work and had a decent game. Kevin brown isn't good enough for wire and a team that wants too challenge at the top! BMM very quiet, Roberts trying to find he's way in as said think he's distribution was top class and shape will come in the next few weeks. For me you need a full back. Mitch brown was good for us good strong returns just lacks a bit of pace but would be a lot better option than ratchford

we were sooooo flat though, whenever we got in their then, leeds defence was like off a shovel out, we were stood pretty flat and it was exacerbated by the slow looping pass from dummy half, the defence was on the first receiver like a flash.

Eh? Am I mistaken or didn’t Leeds score two tries when Westwood came on for Goodwin and Hughes went to centre?

BMM reminds me a bit of Ali Lauitiiti (although I dont think he is in the same class tbf), in that he is a strike weapon who needs to be facilitated with a couple of workhorse backrowers.

Wow Roberts FIRST game, had no warm ups and already being slagged off! The attack undoubtedly needs work but the priority was shoring up the defence and that certainly seems to be coming along.
I think the team will improve significantly, give them time.

Agree
Roberts didn't look fit - But looks a class act to Me
Moon ghosted past him a couple of time
A fully fit Roberts would have gone on his own & not passed to Atkins for the flying pig impression
The gap was there to be taken

You have him then.

Roberts and BMM probably (and rather foolishly) assumed that instead of chancing it and going alone that by sending it out wide they could garuntee 4 points. They will learn in time not to put trust in Atkins and Russell. Hiku figured out not to trust Russell by his 3rd game.

Interesting from Price that he says they knew before the game she was having some contractions. Absolutely the right decision for Hill to be at the birth but a good idea to pick him in the circumstances?

I think so - we still got 50 mins of him. Also given we already have two props out, I think we would have been too lightweight upfront without him.

I suppose with the already missing it's an understandable reason but he could've easily been subbed off after only 5 minutes.

Yes only the first game but I still have not seen what Kevin Brown offers this team.He was gash last year + no better last night.Def on my top 10 worst ever Wire buys up to now.

A couple of bigger bodies missing but when you look at Cas and Saints benches tonight it makes you realise how good some teams are.

Wire look paper thin squadwise

Our bench is not inspiring is it? 1 has-been, 1 might-be, and 2 never-will-bes
Westwood
Philbin
King
Patton

It's not as if we have a quality packed 13 either. But - better than last season.

I wonder if Karl is still wondering why he fell 4,000 short of his sell-out.
