The Times report this am uses a word that has summed us up all season - "leaden footed". Where has the energy and flair gone? Are they being overtrained?

I was shocked to see GOB brought back tonight..I thought we'd moved on from him in the side with Myler and Patton in the halves.. He simply doesn't cut it ,I fear for the rest of our season if we keep him in the side he was god awful last night.

Although i must say i couldn't criticise our halves last night ,i think maybe Gareth was an attempt to solve the goal kicking & possibly because he has more experience against a big ,physical side like Les Cats. I know we missed a few goals again from out wide & maybe the team should work on trying to score closer to the posts....the odd chip in from the wing to the post for instance. As we know goalkicking can be critical ,but i really did enjoy the match last night.

Wire x3- if we can't critique the game and its players, we may as well just shut this entire FORUM (look it up in the dictionary) down now.

Think your right about GOB being brought back for his goal kicking, pity it was very ordinary last night. I'd stick with Bridge as kicker tbh.

We played some decent stuff in patches las night, however it would have been a different result if Cats hadn't knocked on when they looked like going in for their third straight try at the start of the second half. We really need to do some work on our mindset when coming back on after the break, that's two weeks now where we have been caught napping.

Can someone explain to me why Westwood thought that applying a chicken wing tackle was a good idea, just bleeding stupid, he'll miss the Shudders game for that.

oh my word Ive just checked the stats on the Superleague website currie has made 19 carries and westwood only 18 that is a nonsense sheer and utter rubbish if Currie made 18 carries and more than Westwood they are counting passes (not runs) from Dummy half as a carry.


someone who taped the game count them I did live at the game he never made it to double figures.

according to the stats Currie made 8 tackle busts...I must have gone to the wrong game .... 8 busts...??

who was counting Joey Essex

So you went and looked up the stats so you could slag off Currie a bit more, and now you're throwing yourntoys out because they don't prove your point. Not your best look.

not at all I hate using stats to explain any performance its quite stupid and its like playing a bad game of top trumps....but I like the belittling toys out of the pram line nice touch...

I looked to see if they told a tale and they clearly dont, it just underlines my stance that anyone solely using stats hasnt got much of a clue about the game...

I'm more having a laugh at the stats than wanting to slag off Currie he was lazy last night for large parts of the game, and he gave two passes that hit players on the side because he wouldnt take the hit up, and forced a pass instead. Yet they dont get registered as errors...???

and the best you can come up with is i'm throwing toys out of the pram.

for some reason you like to attack my posts when you can more than anyone else I respect that but at least provide something back rather than trying to look smug if I've said something wrong.

Give me a couple of examples of Curries eight tackle busts...?? ( i had to make a phone call during the game so I may have missed one)

I think the losing the plot after half time & letting teams get back into games has been a problem for quite a few seasons but in the past we have had more fire power to come back & stamp our authority on games, although that has been diminishing steadily over the last 2 or 3 seasons. I think players must be brainwashed when they come here though into playing panic rugby & switching off after half time.

Mmm
I didn't really enjoy the match. It was scrappy - too many errors - and as has been said by others we had a lot of things going in our favour (turnaround time, Carney missing etc).
There just doesn't seem to be a flow with the team at the moment and I wouldn't know really where to start.
Chris Hill is probably our only player who is playing consistently well (Ratch is almost in that category, apart from the one handed carries).
Currie does some good things that get noticed (not his issue) but he's not at Whiteheads level. A lot of pressure on him due to media hype and McBanana's comments. It doesn't help him.
Unfortunately the halves are the biggest problem, but all the chopping and changing doesn't help. Then again if they're not performing at the required standard you have to try something different.
Things can change in a matter of a few games (just ask Radford at Hull), but I don't see where that's going to come from (Hull got key players back from injury).

Not expecting anything this year. If by some miracle we get in the top 4 we're not at the same standard as the current top 4.
We should get in the 8, but it's still very close 5-10.
The Cup depends on the draw, but ultimately we'll come up against a top side. As in the Wiagn / KR match anything can happen in the Cup but I honestly can't see a spark that could deliver that for us.

The only clean breaks I saw came from Atkins and Bridge. I was on the phone to flying for the 5 mins that Currie made those 8 busts, although lack of busts is not a bad thing if it means he has passed the ball before hand??

I like currie. He has improved massively on his attack. Without him and the good fortune we had, we wouldn't have won v Cats. He doesn't hit first often in a tackle though, I'd like to see him up the anti on defence if we continue with this current HB partnership, it's a case of him having too.

If he was lazy for large parts of the game, his 19 carries for 161m (13m more than anyone else on the pitch) is even more impressive! The first pass, to GOB, I'll cop being forced, even though GOB didn't take it because he was tackled without the ball, hence you getting a penalty. The second pass, Harrison should have taken that all day, hence him apologising at the scrum. A tackle bust is breaking a tackle, it's completely different to a clean break (breaking the line). Walmsley is on 64 tackle busts for the season, don't think he's made many clean breaks!

Clearly you take issue with the stats, so there are two possibilities here. 1 - Opta, the people who make a living from finding and presenting sports stats, have got their sports stats completely and utterly wrong. 2 - you have.

I think Warrington will do well enough to make the semis this year in Super League by virtue of their overall talent, but you're probably too weak (and undecided) at halfback to present a major challenge this year. Curious to see where Kurt Gidley will fit in next year in this regard.

Was really impressed with Whitehead last night btw. He's some player.

And I have every right to voice my own opinions on the idiotic ones posted here, see, a forum! WOW!

Now you've got the idea!
