That's exactly what we have now - and it isn't working very well.
You haven't watched a minute of Championship rugby.
All these teams have skill and strength, what they really lack is pace and fitness. That's why props can more easily move between Championship and SL but backs (who rely on speed) can't. The lack of fitness relates to those players who are a P/T.
We are currently strong enough and fit enough and probably also fast enough. We lack the skill and craft though.

Pretty much hits the nail on the head, we lack a bit of nous - look how long we left it against Batley to go for a drop goal! Also from my point of view we seem to be very predictable with our plays. Maybe a bit more variety, get the ball out wide a bit quicker than we've done in the games I've been to.

| Haven't seen a game yet this season But from commentaries I've heard our main creative player in the recent small run of wins has been young Gilmore. He certainly impressed for Widnes in Perpignan (though not quite to the extent that Barrie McDermott made out). He was probably quite knackered last weekend - I think that the Chemics' return was delayed by a day due to French air traffic controller issues, and he'd have the additional travelling to and from The Smoke. All of that would have shown on Sunday.

| Noble's first game on the scene, doubt he'll have any impact at such an early stage, though I believe we should win a close and competitive game.

No squad news yet, but we have to be hopefully one or both can turn out for us.

Offers nothing in attack or defence imo.

| Really hope our pitch invasion didn't do too much damage. Was a great atmosphere with 5200 at the Hive.
Good luck tomorrow

I take your point as I don't really see him as being the one breaking the line. As a positive he has been good at realising his winger to score tries. Perhaps Kear is being seen as an opportunity to change things around.

OT but, did you get promotion then? Congratulations if so.

| Well that was a bit poor. Fair dues to Dewsbury but which is meant to be the full time team? On basis of that we won't be anywhere near the top four. Players smiling in the bar afterwards. Really, you've just put in a half d performance..
