That young full back...Murphy is it?

You do know he is from Warrington don't you? Agent Murphy we call him

We need to make 1 improvement.

We need to be smarter in big games (in all games for that matter).

We had the home tie with Wire won and blew it.
We had the game at Widnes won and went to sleep.
We blew the Bradford and Saints games when MM was stupidly sent off. No excuses for either red card.
We had last night won and blew it with dumb plays and then a discipline brain fart on our own line.

We were league leaders, one point from GF and CC semi finalists. We have not had a bad season but let ourselves down in the big games. We need to learn from those games.

SW has introduced a great attacking flare and yes, it's built around the same structure but its worked a lot more times than it hasn't. Hopefully, he will learn a lot from this season and kick on for next.

I'm really not too worried about the structures but our kicking game needs to improve massively.

I also think its massively unfair to question Lee Mossops attitude. The lad has had a cracking season and run his blood to water.

We need more creativity in attack, with more 'off the cuff' rugby rather than the expected out the back to Sam. Sam's attacking threat from FB has been nullified because it's completely predictable now, so I'd move him back to the halves.

We need a kicking game.

We need bigger stronger pack, we're too lightweight and got thrown about like rag dolls against Leeds, barely making any yards.

But earlier in the season our pack destroyed whatever was in front of them! Leeds away, saints away are just 2 examples. We can't change the whole pack because of Fridays game. It has to be taken in context of the whole season.

Perhaps Tony Smith got is right in resting key players at the right time? We had far too many players who suffered injury setbacks in training etc. too many bans, too many penalties given away. Discipline can improve and so can kicking.

That was months ago, and since then our forwards have looked a shadow of what they were earlier in the year.

We need to be smarter.

Its as easy and as hard as that.

Correct

We've never picked it up after Tommy was injured. Finch at 7 with Lockers at 6 and Farrell going to 13 didn't work. Powell was injured and IMO the mistake was leaving Mellor at Widnes. He should have been brought back which would have allowed Lockers and Finch play in their usual positions.
We lost form and lost games which should have been won. Also Prescott has only played nine or ten games this year. Fielden's absence is another matter.
Wane has had a lot of his salary cap unavailable due to long term injuries.

Next year with hopefully Prescott, Mossop, Lauaki, Taylor and Dudson as our first five front rowers we'll have a massive set of props. They should set the platform for the half backs. Green and Smith will be new and need time. Thornley to replace Carmont.
One thing for next year surely is that we play more then the one friendly. Anyone who went to Salford for this year's friendly could see we were underdone. Hudds had 3 pre season games to our one and we lost to them in the opening fixture due to us being underdone. That has to change!

Wire will be the team to beat next year as this, their squad has more quality players than anyone else's and they've outbid all opposition in bringing them to the HJ.
With hopefully fewer injuries next year, no Fielden and Roberts, Wane will be able to rotate his squad and select the teams in certain games to do this.

Longer studs, I've never seen so many players from 1 team slip as much! I recall on Friday night Carmont got the ball in his hands after a Leeds mistake, no one in front of him and he slipped and lost all momentum!

glad some people on here dont have the nuclear codes in their hands - most of the world would now be ablaze.

we need composure and more grunt. all of this stuff about new attacking game is rubbish.

Kicking in my eyes is the key.. Sort that and rest should come.

Want more last tackle options - kicking

Questioning forwards attitudes? - put the other side on their own ten at the end of every kick for them to chase and tackle should soon sort that.

Want more composure? - get a kicker who knows when to push a deep kick and when to drill in to touch for a breather and turn the screw on

We have the best 2 kickers on our coaching staff Deacon and Harris and yet our kicking game is abysmal .Leeds have the kicking game well in hand Sinfield kicks to the corners and all the players know whats coming off and run accordingly .We kick and chase and hope for the best .Sprint coach for me is needed we looked yards slower than Leeds last Friday .Less of the hard stuff in training its caused more injuries than playing in SL.We have a flat line in attack and no second phase get the ball away from the play the ball as quick as possible how many times does the player who has just received the ball go back to the play the ball area instead of quick hands and away from the ruck.
