Something I was thinking earlier...

Have the players who we have brought in this season disrupted the way we play?

Hoffman has already showed he is a quality player and a very good signing but we have an abundance of 2nd rowers.

Lima so far has spent more time banned than playing.

And finally with Finch, we have seen glimpses of what he can do, but so far plays seems to stop or lose momentum when he gets the ball.

No doubt these players have added to the strength of the squad, but maybe there's more to this. Suppose we will only truly find out in October...

You sound like a Hull KR fan.

Level playing field? You're apparently a Leeds fan, but clearly know nothing of the history of your own club. You have embarrassed yourself.

Level playing field?? was that in 2001 when wigan were allowed to spend 1 million more than the rest of superleague because of the massive wage bill??
Or in 2007 when Wigan spent an extra £222314 over the cap to survive relagation???

Saints fan talking about a breach of the salary cap. How ironic!

You're either a really poor troll or your knowledge of RL can be written on a postage stamp.

Fielden crossed my mind last night too. Does make you wonder.

I feel, Gleeson made Goulding look good.

We definately need a organiser @ hooker, we need another top class centre to replace Glesson and perhaps its time we brought Pyrce back from Harlequins.

The team needs a bit of a kick and if there is some issues left over from the Gleeson senario then they need to be aired in a behind the doors team meeting and we need to move on. Because the home form is nothing short of sh@t and has been for a bit (in big games), and with a packed house & Saints coming in 2 weeks we could get another kicking.

Not knee jerk, just worried.

Might it be fair to say that the intensity of that recent Wire/Wigan game may have taken a little bit of oomph out of both sides??...



Certainly, from a Wire point of view, it appears we are struggling to raise our game mentally, after what was a pretty outstanding effort at your place...Also, a few guys are obviously struggling stamina-wise.

I noticed something similar in your game with Leeds, and I presume you performed with the same lack of energy last night too?

The effort from Marsh tonight was outstanding, if more experienced members of the team had shown half of it, then we would have been ok.

Still think he should be a winger rather than a centre, as I think he's got higher potential than Goulding in the long term, but never seems to want to pass. He does have one valuable asset that can't be coached - raw pace.

He's right though. That team is crying out for a halfback to take control - Leuluai is never a Scrum Half - as soon as he went to Dummy Half the whole pace of the game changed, an I just don't get why Maguire persists in playing him at 7.

I know Finch is new to the team, but I really expected more from him last night. Our lacklustre performances the last few weeks can be attributed to Deacon's absence IMO - without him no-one is stepping up to organise things, and our most creative player is stuck back at Full Back.

Where did I mention Goulding?
