Yes, agree with that, especially the bit about the rest of the competition, Cas aside, not looking all that.

Very true, plus of course we were missing Joel inside him, and for all the criticism he gets he is a good tackler. But yeah, just too many missing. TBH I thought all the players did well overall, just some got punished for one single mistake.

I agree Forsyth should have stayed down, however he was back in the line when the attack followed and the kick came through. He made a poor read and shot out of the line making the kick an easy option for Smith.

Of all the young players I think Forsyth is the one struggling the most. He seems to make the wrong decisions quite often. It's a difficult one as the only way that is going to change is with game time, which he is less likely to get with us once we get players back.

And just a few weeks ago I seem to remembers a thread about how specialist centres have had their day. We got done by a top class centre and the loss of Gildart and Gelling had hurt us more than anything else.

I'm not sure he really knew where he was though after the knock to the head.

I wish the ref had saved Forsyth the trouble of getting up by spotting that the pass to Taia was about two foot forward.

Yes, I noticed when I watched a recording of the game today.

I disagree. It was a poor read for me. He got back in the structure. Was in the right position which was credit to him after the knock but he came up with a bad read.

He needs time in the lower leagues for me.

I am starting to get sick of being the plucky loser. Now I want to get a few more bodies back and smash someone. Who is next in line for the centres of Forsyth does not make it? Is Higginson still out on loan/injured?

Higginson was injured playing for Workington on loan and has had an operation on his hip. 4 - 6 weeks from a return I think.

I'd stick Joel (if he's fit) or Gregson there.

Both too slow to play centre.
I wonder if Wane may be tempted to give James Worthington a game?
