| Chambers has repeatedly said that they want Dufty playing on the inside rather than out wide. It may well be this has been the key to his displays rather than a call from SB.

Perhaps we should have sacked Powell earlier? All those calling for his head early on got rinsed on here when, in fact, they were visionaries.

| Great win, good practice for the attack and defence the lads look as though they're united and in this together again. Maybe the season isn't over yet after all. Credit to all the current coaches and pkayers for the turnaround. Hopefully we get another few wins in the last 3, give saints a good game and go in to the playoffs full of confidence.

He won the first 8. We lost a load of forwards and the camp was divided after the Mcguire debacle. During those first 8 games the players all seemed happy and the Mcguire thing seemed to be the catalyst for discontent. Without the Mcguire shenanigans, things could/should have been very different as the team morale would have been fine, which appears to have been the main cause for our poor performances. With all this in mind, I think the club would gave been reluctant to sack him and not give him chance to make amends as the dip in form would have possibly been attributed to the camp split.
That said, Gleeson seems to have really boosted our attacking prowess as Chambers alluded too in his interview. They also seem to respect Chambers. I think post the Mcguire saga, Chambers has proved to be a better coach in reuniting the different factions and as a result, is getting more out the players. So in hindsight, an earlier change would have been better.

We should have given Chambers the job in 2022. ![Wink icon_wink.gif](images/smilies//icon_wink.gif)

Even at the start of the year we didn't really see the fabled daryl Powell expansive attack

We didn't no. I would have said that it would have taken a bit of time for the shoots of his style to emerge, but Gleeson seems to have made an instant impact. Perhaps Powell's style takes a bit more learning and integration, who knows? But I do agree, in those first 8 wins, there wasn't so much of the Classy Cas flamboyance on view.

| Quote: just_browny "I think the wee switch Chambers has made, with Walker starting and Clark coming off the bench, is starting to work. Not because Walker is better, but because I think he is better at getting the little plays around the ruck going early and giving Vaughan and Mikaele good ball. While Clark's impact as fresh legs in the 2nd half was clear to see and completely beyond Cas's capability to handle.'"
I started to think that Walker should go for a tinkle before the match started, rather than being subbed so that he can go to the loo.

| If we want Dufty running middle channels, we could shoe horn him in as a 9 on attack rather than Dwyer, Thewlis back to fullback.
Dufty dropping back out wide in defence.

Didn’t the Dwyer rumour turn out to be buzzcocks? Pretty sure it did?
And I thought Ratchford was pencilled in as Walker’s backip from the bench?

| IF we win against Salford, the true test of this squad for me is the St's match, not necessarily as a benchmark of our team vs theirs, more from a psychological perspective.
A Salford win solidifies play off place (i think) so it'll be interesting if we get the "job done, cue on the rack" Warrington or if we get the "time to get a run together for the play offs" Warrington.

Is this from the Kear playbook?
