I know where you are going with this brearley and why, I agree with you about Brough and Breirley, some of us have been saying for weeks what a waste of time it is playing Brierley with our style of game, But just remember why we let Ellis go, It was because he arguably had the skills but not the pace or the presence to take us forward, He had an odd good game here and there but Brierley has done that, ( not this season yet ).

The next move is drop Brierley, Gaskell to half and somehow hope he can inspire our Forwards to play as a unit and give the halves a chance , whether Gaskell is the man i don't know, If he is a quality half why isn't he still at Saints and why has he been playing in the championship, Whatever, I think he will get his chance soon and we just have to pray he can do the business.

I haven't given up on Stone yet, simply because i don't think he has had long enough, but he is going to have to start and come up with something more than he has yet. I have been looking at this season as a fresh start, a chance to get some of our younger players in the side, I don't care if we get beat as long as we are showing some kind of plan but we are getting beat with the majority of our first choice players back in the side, The worst thing is we look no different to last season under Anderson and we had Ellis in the side then.

Everybody says the same thing, Something needs to change, but we have had the changes, we have changed the coach and half the team, Little or nothing on the field has changed yet, We still play the same dreary pedestrian head down and barge style that people wont turn up to see, let alone stay to clap.
I don't know the answer, I'm just praying that RS does and he sorts it pretty soon.

Well we were a cracking side last season, weren't we !.

It's got nothing to do with Thewlis or deals. It's to do with RFL rules on loans- but hey don't let that stop you peddling the incorrect rumours...

The biggest problem here is the number of low quality players and lack of stand up leader and pack leader.

Daniel Smith whoever gave him a long contract he never made much yardage or even a break yesterday again.

Sam Rapira should have stood up and led yesterday did anyone see the 'ticking off' Robbo gave him ?

Nathan Mason constantly stopped and driven back when in possession.

Olly Roberts his try apart too often hiding out wide no hard yards again.

Aron Murphy took over Jerrys jumping out the line mantle but as another poster said why move him to the wing when Mellor was actually doing well in the second row?

Have we really given Jared Simpson a new contract too easily 'scragged' and dropped a relatively easy cross kick that led to the pressure for the final try?

Tyler Dickinson looked out of place these lads should have shone yesterday but seem to have caught the malaise from the 1st team too.

Is Jamie Ellis the answer 'nope' might have made a difference yesterday but not a superleague player long term and he's had enough goes at it.

Rick Stone NRL or Superleague coach ?? Not a chance I'm afraid mediocrity abounds !!

I totally agree, Because we have hit bottom as a team and Brough is not at his usual standard, Why would we even consider getting someone back who we let go as not being good enough. Ah yes we have a history to live up to .

what is masons injury?? looked bad

dickinson, didnt even notice he was on the pitch, when i did i thought he had just come on, looks too small and stocky for super league
