Quote: Harry Stottle "40 points to the good after 30 or so minutes, lost the next 50 mins by 18 to 10, just shows how deficient our on the field generals are, Riddy is now to slow to catch a cold, Reynolds we could be generous and say he needs more game time, but I saw nothing to convince me he has improoved at all since he left, totally missed Greg at full back he could have had a hand in another 30 points given the same ball Brierley had, and Junior Sa'u no wonder a club needing players let him go, he is absolutely hopeless as a centre, don't get your hopes up guy's for the play offs we just ain't good enough.'"
Harry, Riddy has always been slow however, he controlled the game yesterday as usual and that's why Duffy wants him on the field, regardless ! Its only when he doesn't play that the lack of leadership is glaringly obvious!
I'll never be a Ben Reynolds fan, ever, if he is charged with the task of leading us around the pitch again then i'm afraid, we will return to the Banal attack we had endured over the last two years! The amount of possession he squandered yesterday was embarrassing, the number of times he threw passes behind players or, to ground just confirmed for me his deficiencies as a 'playmaker' !
I was amazed Shaun Ainscough was able to run the length of the field , zig-zagging in and out of our players to eventually score! Credit to him for a very good effort which I applauded however, once again we see opposing players make us look pedestrian!
Gregg is always a loss when he doesn't play because he is so talented and rarely wastes the ball !
I was pleased to see Cory have what I think was his best game since his return and we badly missed his wide running against Widnes!
Brierley seems to be playing within himself at the moment and i'm not sure where his best position is?
A strange tactic I noticed yesterday was the amount of times our threequarters drove the ball in down the middle
It was frustrating to see the scoreboard 'freeze' in the second half but i'm sure we have the nucleus of a good team there !
