They lack a leader at 6 and 7. That one player who can dictate a game. The one that marshall's them all over the park. Its not just a case of taking the line on, it's knowing the reason for taking the line on, they fail at.'"
I agree there is still cons but I don’t we could replace either with better ATM, and do you not think in time they can be what we need? Despite for me doing a good job now?

| I’m with big time on this, Sammut is very maverick, yeah he does some very good things in attack but there all for he’s self, he is a good player at this level but gets found out against the SL teams, stick with these too for now. Daley cherry Evans is looking for a way out of Manley.. he said he wants back too the Gold Coast I’m sure he wouldn’t mind a few months on the golden sands of Pennington flash

To be honest, you said you had only seen Sammut play twice. I don't think you can make a judgement on just two games. He can kick any team all over the park, and kicked us all over the park many a time. On form he is unplayable.
Thats the difference as both Reynolds and Hutchison cannot step up to that level,their play is predictable, therefore playable. Their partnership is just too, two dimensional.
Will they improve? You have to look at the facts as Sunday showed, they are stuck in their ways.

Well Hutchison was first choice NRL 7 until his injury - so it’s pretty clear he has the ability to step up to a far better standard than Champ rugby don’t you think
Jury out on the levels Reynolds can reach but he’s deffo improved this season

They wont turn into Sammut, Ford, etc... But as we've seen, their play will improve if the players around them perform better. We're not going to sign a new half back this month, so we need some front rowers to step up to give them the sort of platform they need.

We wont be in the top 4 unless we get some fresh energy the lads are gassed. unless we get some decent middles we are done.

This time last year KR were bringing in Masoe, Carney ETC

I agree,for me the CC was always going to be too much,but anyone who say's it generated a bit of money,well fine,bring some middles in with it.

Yes and junior kangaroo. Having the ability and actually doing the job are two different things. Reynolds with the expericence he's gained at both levels should be ripping this league up now.

No very true they won't turn into them. But the passing at times from both of them is so poor,it makes the forwards look poor. Most are suicide passes stood still.

| Both are great behind a dominant pack, on the front foot both can dictate play but we aren't winning many games in the middle.
When you are winning the ruck in the middle you can play shape and get overlaps like Castleford do so well.
There have to be players out there who need game time.
Warrington-Dom Crosby
Salford-Ryan Lannon
Castleford-Gadwin Springer

The only player dictating play is dummy half. Theres nowt from the halves.

| I think criticism of the halves is harsh. As said above the halves need the pack to provide the platform, when they have we have done really well. Look at Drinkwater behind the massive Catalans pack, he looks a world beater, never saw that at Leigh. I know it is not necessarily part of the halves game, but our get through so much work both taking on the line and defending and to be fair Ben's tactical kicking has improved. We need an injection of energy in the middle, Baldwinson was v disappointing - I think Gladwin Springer is a great shout.

But Catalans pack hasn't changed,the halfback has.

Surly though this time last year KR has assured they were going to be in the top 4 and could spend accordinglyc in our position it would be risky to take On a higher wage bracket. Surly it is better to get into the top 4 which this team is more than capable of, then go from there. The only way we could get players now would be if we had the financial backing regardless of Where we finished and Derek has stated the perhaps he can’t afford to back us outside the top 4.
