WORRIED???

Quote: tugglesf78 "Prescott has more heart in his little finger than Perry has in his flabby belly. laffranchi is showing decent form, but for my money Mossop is currently the best prop in SL.

I would rate Hansen and Sia on par tbh. Both are capable of a crunching tackle, both graft hard but Hansen is not is as likely to miss a tackle (and he makes much more). Soliola is better at making the meters granted, but i would not swap HH for Soliola. I would imagine you would not do the same for Sia.

TP is one hell of a player but then again Hock is devastating with ball in hand. Again i would not swap.

Roby is undeniably the best 9 in SL and perhaps the 2nd best in Wold RL. I just hope he can still function properly after MM rattles him a few times.

We have also got Lima backing up from the bench and he has been bush wacking all before him this year.

Now i know that you have won a few games now, buts lets not be silly. Perry is going to get handed his ar$e of the Wigan pack.

If the Moose is anywhere near full fitness we will have too much fire power for you.'"

Your right I would not swap Sia for HH. Hock and TP I would say are similar players but I would rate TP a class ahead of Hock. If you imagine Hock without the penalties and the ability to carry the ball more meters in the tackle then that would be TP.

You would be absolutely correct about Perry 2 weeks ago, I do think he was one of the players who wanted the coach out, there where a few who were unsure about Royce but the difference in a weeks performance from Perry would suggest his performances where well below what they could have been.

It's only been 2 weeks for us and yes it could be a false dawn for us, so far people are happy to say the other side played poorly. Can't comment on the Wire game from the USA, I listen to the 2nd half though and our defense sounded awesome.
I saw the Leeds game live and yes we stormed ahead but there was a good 60 mins left and Leeds could have pulled back one or 2 tries before half time. Again our defense held firm and stopped any possibility of a comeback.

I think our focus under Royce was heavily on defense, but Ironically without any attacking plays, we just end up defending for 80 mins.
Now under (RC & Rush) we are attacking again, it gives the opposition more of a challenge as they can't just concentrate on breaking us down, but also have to worry about our strike power coming at them.
