| Quote: ShelleyGiant " [sizeOh yes we will,[/size apart from a couple of games this season our pack has been well and truly beaten up and battered by so called "inferior" packs to ours, our defense has been woefull and we've leaked points for fun, don't know whats gone wrong but I'm surprised Anderson hasn't sorted out our forwards by now.
Big Eorl and Koppy on the whole have been very poor and to be honest a few weeks rest might do them both the world of good, they're getting a place in the team on reputation and not on perfomances, same with Leroy, he looks tired, jaded and not half the player he was last season, give him a rest (kick up the booty) players need it from time to time. Add to this Robbo looks injured Broughy needs to get his head sorted to concencentrate on playing instead of pressing the self destruct button and getting involved in stupid arguments he can't win. Last but not least at the moment I don't think Wood brings a lot to the show, I don't think he's good enough for a place be it in the team or on the bench, but that's just my opinion. I think it's fairly easy to see why we're struggling this season, the recent 5 win streak was mainly (Cas apart) against poor opposition who to be honest if we listen to the "experts" we should have buried, but we didn't and the victories didn't even paper over the cracks, we looked poor for large parts of all those games, our pack struggled our defence stuttered and our attack blew hot and cold throughout, don't think them 5 wins fooled too many people. Play like we have been doing against Wigan on Thurs and then at Lids the following week and we could well be on the wrong end of 2 cricket scores.
robinson IS injured. still playing though.
i think crabtree is going ok, his stats back that up too.
kopczak has been dropped/rested for this one

| A lot of Wigan fans on here and social media blaming the ref for their loss. I thought their youngsters looked jaded in the second half- one game too many for them and our change in personnel was the trick needed to give us a bit of a boost. They made too many handling errors at crucial times. Hope we keep robbo and Lunt and 9. And bailey and Lawrence have to play. Still improvements to be had but can't fault the effort.

| well done paul anderson! got the tactics/bench spot on last night, big decision leaving chan and koppy out for a game against the champions, but it worked, especially with robbo starting at 9 and lunt coming off the bench.
the starting props didn't let us down and the workrate and effort was there, but the introduction of crabtree,patrick and ta'ai was a masterstroke and we soon got on top.
i have always thought Eorl is a far better player coming off the bench than a starting prop, he was like the old Eorl crabtree last night...
the biggest difference for me was bailey and lawrence, we looked a totally different team with those 2 defensive machines in the middle as opposed to koppy's hopeful grabs.
i thought bailey was superb in both attack and defence,brough was back to his best and again we showed how bloody lethal our edges can be in attack when we bother using them.
the intensity and effort last night was far better than anything else we've seen this season and it showed.
although the first 20 minutes we were poor defensively again, falling off tackles etc, not hitting hard enough or wrapping the ball up and we got done for it,after that we worked our socks off and got a great result.

| funny how all last week was about how great and brilliant and awesome wigan's kids are etc after they beat a poor salford side, but this week it's a case of they had too many injuries, a bridge too far for their kids etc, they were beaten by a better side simple as, they could beat cas next week and they will be world beaters again, how fickle some sections of the media are eh?

| Only just got to see game.
Much more like it. Even in the wobbly opening 15 minutes our attempt to get quick ptbs and to get stuck in was a breath of fresh air.
The bench was awesome. Real power and intent. Thought Johnson went well, not the finished article but great effort. Eoarl better off the bench for me. Prefer faiumu off the bench long term.
Robbo at 9 with Lunt is hopefully something PA now sticks with. Trio of Bruno - Bailey - ferres the starting back row now, tough as teak, with creativity too.
Chuffed to after watching that. I'll give it a day or two and watch it again.
