I try to support the coach as long as he's trying to progress the team I support but I'm getting fed up of the dire rugby we play, the half back pairing & no 9 is pivotal to what a team does, how we play, how we set up.

I stand by what I've said about Russell from the 1st game I saw him, he's a Championship player, he offers nothing going forward, he's got zero skill set, he's got zero flair to get us forward, he's simply awful to watch, yet Watson keeps persisting with him - I've seen hung Kieren Rush offer more & yet he doesn't get a look in.

Hooker - weather it be Goulding or Milner, the pair of them aren't good enough, the pair of them are pedestrians at best, the movement of the ball is so slow & predictable that by the time they've played the ball the opposition already know what pass they've made before they've done it, we've struggled badly at no9 since we lost Levi back to Australia.

I said to a mate earlier, I'm getting sick to death of losing to teans like KR when we have the squad we have, we do have some cracking players but they just aren't playing at the moment for whatever reason.

The one major problem we do have is the size of the squad, we have too many players at Giants.

Personally the likes of :

Milner
Goulding
Russell

Shouldn't be anywhere near the match day squad or Giants, they aren't good enough.

Personally I'd go :

Connor
Halsell
Marsters
Naiqama
Swift

Clune
Lolohea

Hill
Deakin
Ikahihifo

Muchie
Rushton
Yates

Subs

Hewitt
Wilson
English
Rush

Forgot about Cudjoe.

Stick him on the bench for Rush, with Rush being 18th man

Just looking at the squad as a whole :

I'd be saying goodbye to :

Russell
Goulding
Milner
Livett
Bibby (Both)

That still leaves the likes of :

Greenwood
Wallis
Salabio
Rush
Savelio

On our books, its impossible to keep all of the players we have happy.

“Teams like Hull Kr”. Take your rose tinted glasses off…

You are quite right. Your side is better than ours in virtually all departments thanks to Watsons incompetence, I'm sure there are probably a couple of forwards of ours like Wilson, Yates and possibly Swift on the wing you might prefer, but in other regards you would prefer your squad to ours right? I certainly would

Firstly can I say I'm sorry, you're quite right.

I'm just very angry & frustrated at our lack of going forward as a club and continuing to sign utter muppets.

So I take it back.

Got to agree with everything thats already been said. Im not disputing that yesterday HKR were by far the better team and fully deserved to win the game and the scoreline did flatter us as well, It was probably the worst display of refereeing I can remember seeing in 60 years of watching Rugby League, unfortunately it is now a regular occurrence for the refs to give these outrageous decisions and its making the game a very poor spectacle for those of us who have to watch week in week out.

I agree with most comments but is Watson solely to blame for the players signed i cant see a coach having so much power on signing players.You have a big squad but not one player would get into Wigan or Saints side.Salford have a small squad as Leigh do so it is easy for a coach to work with fewer players.Looked at your results last season to beat Catalan home and away even Wigan and Saints failed to do this.The Grand Final has only 4 different winners one Bradford other Leeds who are now in the same situation as yourselves.Wigan and Saints will dominate for years to come and possibly Catalan but not much hope there.

I agree with some of the comments. Russell clearly not good enough, saw Levi score for Canberra at the weekend, what a loss that has proved to be. Milner is a slow journeyman with a pretty slow pass. We needed speed in the spine but haven't recruited that, maybe the new young hooker should be given a go. Same old reaction from Watson. We still appear a slow side, miles behind the top teams.

Levi has been a huge loss, the 1 season we has him, we had speed at the ruck & teams couldn't cope.

Even as a supporter you can telepath what Milner & Goulding are going to do as we are so slow, now if we as supporters can see it, then I can guarantee the opposition can see it.

Best we can hope for is another CC run because the League & Playoffs are a million miles away.

I think Lolohea might be best at FB but I'd play him in the halves with Clune. Try Deakin? at 9, see what he can offer.
