You say your squad is better on paper i disagree i think ours is the one of the best but that's been the problem to many supetstars and not playing as a team. Hopefully though were starting to gel as a team.
Oh yeah watch out for Paterson pure class with ball in hand!
I'll still say Huddersfield by 10 home advantage seems massive this season.'"
Liam will play big minutes?? good - we can run at him then!!! defensively we are tight and line speed is good atm so we can cope with his running from dh. Same with Paterson - he may be good with ball in hand but defensively hes a lazy sieve by the looks - and lockes stats make grixs look good!! As an overall picture Id certainly say our squad is better if we aren't just looking at the obvious in your face stuff - cant win if you cant defend!!!!
Quote ="Durham Giant"Quote ="brearley84"thats a blow
if so then prob see murphy go centre and broughton return on the wing.'"
Hughes to centre with Murphy still on the wing. He is broughs go to man. Changes to a minimum imho'"
hughes to centre might be nice to see going forward but could be a massive waste imo - hes too good defensively to shift him out.

| Hughes was going really well in the second row at wigan and didn't they try move him to the spot? Pretty sure second row is his prefered position.
Murphy did very well at the right position when covering Leroy with his dead leg last year.
Rewarding broughton for going out training, getting behind the lads playing and having the rite work ethic is the correct option. Wood and grix and Bruno went out and proved themselves, now broughton is doing it! Good attitude from the squad bar one lad who is no longer part of our squad

| Hughes played centre at Wakefield and did not perform too well.
Broughton has waited patiently for a game and as a specialised outside back would be the obvious choice to come in. Murphy will slot into centre easily enough.

| I always thought Hughes started out at centre and to be honest we're not exactly bereft of options at centre if we needed someone .
Agree Re Broughton earning his chance by being patient, couldn't imagine a former hooker going to play at Oldham cos he wasn't first choice and biding his time !!!.
It's a nice option though when we can bring in a player like Jodie to cover...

| dont understand a few posters wondering why murphy has gone to centre to replace cudjoe, its the logical move with broughton ready to come in too on the wing.
broughton was due a game this easter too, been out at oldham like a few others have and look how they returned!
just hope he performs now, will be abit worried when the high balls go over his way though

think he will, most of our players will be playing with a days less rest than lunt
lunts fitness levels are very good too, when hes not injured!

| well back down to earth today with that loss!
anderson said we needed a ball with handles on and hes not wrong, just couldnt keep the ball... and sorry but if you give salford that much ball your not going to win.
we beat warrington then go and lose this one
we just dont seem to learn that without the ball you dont win!
well done salford, hope the fans were on the 3/1, always seem to beat us once a year... got in our faces again too.

| I would like to reference something I mentioned before the game, Andersons dealing of an inured player.
I really question why he did what he did regarding the Cudjoe injury.
Last night Broughton did nothing wrong what so ever, however I think everyone would agree that both Jerry and Murphy had their worst games so far this year.
I put this down to Anderson taking his very Nathan Brown approach to injuries. For me, it should be without question Cudjoe out, Connor (who plays centre every now and then) in. Wardle and Murphy has been a great partnership so far this year, so if you dont have to change it, THEN DON'T! It is causing extra unrest in the team than is needed! This is not an issue with Broughton because as I have said he did fine last night!

| disagree, dont think it was the decision to leave connor out and move murphy to bring broughton in that was the problem at all
murphy was solid again
broughton was poor and wont keep his place

| i did say at the game we look like we've been disrupted by moving murphy to centre,i would have been tempted to do a straight swap, connor for cudjoe, but quite rightly broughton was given his chance.
think it's a bit harsh to say he was poor, he didn't do too much wrong IMO and didn't have much chance in attack.

| if he doesn't play then that's not because he was poor it's because cudjoe and murphy are the first choice in those positions and broughton isn't.

but we had a topic about broughton anyway and its all been said on there what needs to be said

| I noticed with Jerry and Jodie playing with Grix as the back 3 we resorted back to the jog and give it to the winger tactic again, we haven't been doing this much with Murphy there and all 3 (Grix, Smurph and Jerry) have made good yards by just running hard - is it something Baloo thinks works better with Broughton in the side cos in my opinion it actually loses us ground as the opposition can read it like a book and are on the receiver before hes got the ball.

| Well disappointed as I thought we could put ourselves solidly in the top part of the league over Easter. This is more to do with my over optimism than anything. This league is proving to be very very tight and with the exception of wakey at the min who are down 12 in people any team can beat any other side!
We shouldn't have to but we didn't play to how child's was officiating. We were determined in defence but as we coughed the ball up cheaply we were bound to concede points.
Positives to take away,
we didn't look tiered after all that defence
The atmosphere was much improved on all our fixtures at home so far. Well done to the lads and lasses at the back
Even being under the pump we still looked like we could get something at the later stages and managed to keep within six points

Frustrating as hell! I can understand running the the centre and delaying the tackle so we can get more players back but sometimes you need to get your head down and charge at the line! Giving up ten to twenty meters to pass to a winger? Not for me!

| Thing is it's obviously a coaching decision to do that but folk get on on Grixy's back for 'not bloody running' whixh is unfair as i'm sure he'd like to have a crack at a broken defensive line like Jerry does - Broughton doesn't offer anywhere near that same threat.

I agree.
Grix is our best full back but on a lot of occasions last night he collected the ball and ran across the pitch 20 metres and gave it to Jerry to run back by which time the defenders were on him.
He should be told run it back and voluntary tackle if you have to but he could have made more yards.
If Jerry had not been so tired he might not have gifted that try to Salford when he should have knocked the ball dead

Like I said there are times running it to the middle is the preferred option for example if there are no players back with him the longer he takes to get tackled the longer our players get to get back and it means the defensive line has to be across the field instead of just to the left or right but he wasn't looking to run back hard at any point and he had been mixing it up prior to this!
I like grix, thought Connor did little wrong to get dropped but grix is so much more in attack popping up everywhere and chiming into the line! Awesome on his day just wasn't the best from him that game

| That's about what I would have said brearley. A lot more than they have brought for the last few years.... If they've brought a third of their home crowd that's some doing- But remember- it's only us that have poor crowds!!!!!
Wasn't the crowd at Cas /Leeds fantastic- just under 10,000 the 'official' figure although they announced more at the game.
Filled the ground, fantastic turn out blah blah stevo, yet we get 10,000 for a Leeds game and we get blasted - stadium empty where are the fans blah blah stevo.

| 2 and a half blocks were open on that stand and the 2 were about 70% full - i would have said about 700-800 but if that's what the club have said then fair enough. Amazing really considering that in their last 2 visits they haven't brought over 250 here but a few wins brings half their entire home support out !! proves that most people will only watch a winning team.
