Need to put Naughton in now. Has a great try scoring record against Saints.

Pragmatism is what has contributed to the SL being a mediocre competition in recent seasons. Our success is built on the brand of rugby we play - if the players listen and learn from our coaching team - we will be ok.

But you currently don't have players good enough to play the style of rugby you played in the championship and cover for the mistakes that are made or forced by better teams.

At the moment you are a bottom 4 for a reason. The game against Leeds should have been a win for you but wasn't. Not because your side was not good enough to win but simply because too many mistakes being made by trying to play attractive rugby gifting Leeds the ball time and again. I would not say SL in mediocre, I would say it is tedious at times and as I have stated I like how Leigh try to bring some entertainment back to the game, however you are going to need far better players than you currently have.

I am not saying completely change your game but simply be more aware that mistakes will be made so play expansive rugby in the right areas. the percentage game at the right moments is a requirement if you want to keep the place you have earned.

800 and something went into the south

Huge positives from Hopkins and Acton, they took it in hard and troubled Leeds. Add Higham and Stewart to that team and we win with ease imo. So if all are fit it's Higham and Eloi at hooker, Stewart for Vea and two from Hock/Weston/Tickle. We do need a fit Riddy on the park to see if Derek needs to pull a 6 in.

Disagree on quality of players - we have recruited proven experienced players together with some younger recruits added to a number of top quality players we signed prior to the middle 8's last season. We are TWO games into the season hardly a time to be quoting bottom of the league. I am unaware who you support but very few teams will go and win at Cas and Friday's game speaks for itself, we simply should have won.

I have watched super league from Super league one and matches from 10 years ago were far and above more skilful and exciting compared to the current "arm wrestle".

Weston before Acton and Hopkins at the mo Mo, although Acton especially stood up on Friday (although you can still argue his discipline is at last chance saloon)
Maria and Green seemed ok from the 1st 2 games - can see quite a bit of rotation of the props early doors to keep them fresh and competing for places

Acton must play nobody gets us on the front foot like he does although he is being singled out by the officials, plenty elbows used by Leeds all game and nothing half a push and a binning, he will learn

Mo I wish it would be so easy to get a win,maybe Jukesy will read yer post and heed your advice, with Saints and Wigan up next we need some inspiration from somewhere. Maybe you in the centre circle before kick off with a rendition of GIGI.

Agree Mo,Acton must play, despite him being victimized. Briscoe milked it, and Acton got binned. On the 3rd tackle prior to the binning,there were 3 players all over pelly like a rash and he couldn't get up, and nowt given.

Why would Derek need to pull a 6 in?

Is that not Jukes's job?

Milked it or not you cannot seriously be trying to condone that, Dawson (I think) was lucky enough but what the hell was Acton even doing there - unless he's deaf he should have been getting back in the defensive line

Maria impressed me, and don't get me wrong, reckon Acton could get a regular place in the 17 and push on to a very high standard indeed - but if he's not careful he could also become nothing more than a decent championship player due to his failings. We got away with the 10 mins in Friday (some may argue it cost us the game), can't do that regularly at this level

Dawson could claim he was committed and wasn't sure if Briscoe was over the line , Jamie was just daft as usual , he has to clean it up if he is to have a SL career

No, i'm not condoning it,it was silly to even touch him i agree, However Mc Shane should've been binned the week before for a far worse incident(spear tackle),but he wasn't,and like iv'e already mentioned about the heavy push on Crooks into Higson which could've been serious,and nothing said about that.Mr Hicks kept telling Gallen to have a word with his players today, Why did he not give them a team warning? He gave us 2 in 20 minutes against Hull Kr.

We've had Mr Hicks enough times to know what he is like , that game is over , on to Saints
