The bottom line is we cannot defend out wide and that is where all the positions were filled by young local players. Top marks for 'giving them their chance' but they are being targetted and clearly they are not capable(at the moment?????) of defending the line. Do we blame Powell because they are inept/not fit enough/strong enough? Sargy is a great prospect with ball in hand and gives 100% but to me he isnt strong enough to play centre (ATM) especially with Dixon alongside him. Dixon is fast and on the small side and is having to learn quick. He badly needs a good strong Centre alongside him.JOC has always been a poor defender even under BM. Are we expecting RP or anyone else making him better. His positional sense is not good and with experience we hope he improves but he's been playing 1st team for some time now and unless you put another very good defensive winger with him to cover his deficiencies he will continue to leak tries. Will a new coach really change this? im not convinced. We've been unlucky with Colbon and Robbo being jnjured but without better players in the three quarters im not sure what to expect or who'se fault it is. Ive never coached in RL so don't know if a better coach comes in how different the same players will defend

thought you were poor today gower did ok and dixons fast and was unlucky not to get another try but apart from that very average the coach has to take the blame because your a better team on paper than the table suggests

Standing in no-mans land in the wilderness of Craven park, surrounded by firm thinkers and say it as it is types, you would be forgiven for feeling put off, but thats what the players have to resolve, we are fielding young, london players, with a taste of good players etc, we need to blood these players, so lets do it all season then, great i say, but we do need another game plan, all the young ones were targeted on Sunday, to great avail for HKR, not moaning too much, as HKR fans managed to cheer me up, with all there laughing and quips, just love "where did you learn RL son, mothercare"

Give me Gripe water, I say

Serious deja-vu here. I go away for a Super League weekend, come on here to catch up and, no surprise at all, it's just like the previous Super League weekend and the one before that and the one before that and ... except when we played two of the four other crap teams, managed to beat those two but not the other two.

Mr Hughes, Mr Powell, (even Mr Mackay if he has any influence on playing matters), you need to change things NOW else there are just fifteen more predictable Super League weekends to come. Enough!
