Byrne missed three tackles, Partington missed five. They were also the only props who made over 50 metres.

Partington will be a good player, but having the ball stripped by a HB is unforgivable for a prop.

Clark has his faults, but something has to change. As they say, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and expecting different results. Clark has provided go forward & points in the games he's played.

Clark is becoming like Hankinson/Escare.

Just weirdly adored by fans despite being pretty ordinary.

Clark was pretty average in his spell of games. Always gassed after 5 minutes, poor defence (shooting out the line and missing most of the time) and his carries aren’t great.

I don’t disagree with some above saying he’d be a good option for a game but the way some Facebook fans go on you’d think Lam wasn’t picking Jason Taumalolo.

Think that just shows how fans are starved of some forwards who can make some sort of dent. For me I'd prefer him to play for entertainment value if nothing else - gets very tedious when our front rowers are incessantly dominated on collision.

I’m sure Lam is now just a comedy sketch. His favourite stand in centre is banned, so he refuses to name a young lad like Halsall or Hanley and instead goes with a short squad. Looking at the squad Hardaker will have to go to centre, so it’ll be all change across multiple positions and it’ll be clunky again.

Let’s hope Powell is ok to be added and if so I’d go (from that squad although if I had my way Halsall and O’Neill would be in the 17)-

A rest for KPP finally and leave Bourouh out because what’s the point in him having a 2 minute cameo?! If he was going to get 20-30 mins than fair enough.

Nah, Faz will go to centre!

I think it depends who he speaks to in the Bowling Green as to who will play where

Are coaches not allowed a personal life now? There's plenty to criticise him for on the pitch without this rubbish.

So stating the name of a pub affects someone’s personal life does it?
I assume if I hadn’t named a pub then the post would have been fine with you would it?

It was an attempt at irony I.e. it depends on who he speaks to will determine what the next baffling team selection will be.

If that harms your feelings block me. I won’t sleep tonight though if you do but I’m sure time will be a great healer.

And there is his post match excuse

It doesn't harm my feelings at all, I just think it's sad that he can't have a drink in his local without someone finding out and putting it online to use as a stick to beat him with. I want him sacked too but couldn't care less whether he goes to the pub in his spare time. He's just a bloke like you and me and should be allowed some privacy.
