It’s about balance mate. I’ve certainly got nothing against you, I don’t even know you. However, I have never seen anything but negativity in any of your posts and it gets tiresome.
It’s February and we have 4 points from 6. We have shown glimpses of great rugby despite disruption to our spine. We have been ver solid in defence too. Is it perfect? Not by a long way but there is reason to be optimistic. You either don’t understand rugby league, you’re a wind up merchant or you just refuse to see it he positives.

Quote: Bigredwarrior "Do us all a favour and switch your telly off and disable your WiFi. That way you won’t have to watch the boring rugby and you won’t bore the pants off the rest of us on here.

That was a solid win tonight. Built a platform in the first half and ramped it up in the last half hour. Still too many penalties but that was clear progress.
Hastings was sublime in parts of the 2nd half and we look better with Harry Smith in the side.
Job done, onwards and upwards.'"

+1 I'm bloody sick of him as well bloody armchair supporters

Harry Smith another positive game, needs looking after in defence but he will improve in that department. Do worry about have a left footed kicker on the right though.

French has to stay full back. Hardaker was poor in attack at fullback last year (in block plays) and french looks like he’s going to score every time he gets the ball.

Burgess just terrible again, Marshall is showing him every week. Manfredi on the right, Marshall on the left as soon as he’s fit.

Bullock went really well.

Manfredi was speaking in the fan zone before the game. If he comes through this weeks reserve game he’ll be up for selection next week.

If that’s a swipe at me for the other post a few dts Ill just clarify.

I never said he WAS a 6, it was in response to rogues asking why people ‘think’ he’s a 6

To clear up my ‘French to HB’ calls;

I, like many others, believe he is the best FB in the league right now but I also think we as a team look far more dangerous when he is pairing up with Jax in the halves. I also think Zak would be outstanding playing off French coming from FB like ST used to do or even Zak himself at Cas. Perhaps I’m wrong, and if I am it’s not below me to admit as such.

There were some positives to tonight as others have said. Smith in the halves looked very promising. Both Bullock and Clark easily justified their selections and French has that little bit of magic and spark. Hastings also looked better and was looking to try things. Some nice tries scored when they tired.

However anyone who was happy with that first half and in particular the first 20 is on crack. I lost count of how many time’s on the third tackle we played the inside ball to a forward who was going nowhere. The next play was so easy to defend as they knew it was going to be an attempt to move it wide. It was awful.

The other negative was the defence. They just stood off and watched half the time. Again. No press at all. I think the low point was when they had an attack on their left and one of our players puts in a tackle to stop the move but the rest just stood and watched which slowed their player to wrestle free and get rid of the ball.

If we play like that v Hull the game will be gone in the first 20 minutes.

I also can’t comment without mentioning the ref. Thought he was very poor. They were offside for their first try and the second was a forward pass.

It's those formulaic sets we need to get rid of. You can visualise exactly how it's going to go and it's a shock when we do anything different. Two to three one out carries from the middle men, an inside ball to a 2nd row and then a meaningless shift play wide.

Something to ponder...from both wins Vs Wire and Toronto...there was no fat lady until both teams were down to 12/11 men.

So the moral of the story is teams with Wolves/Wolfs in their names should have better discipline. icon_wink.gif
