New coach, and new players... i agree them games are all very winnable. but only 4 games in were just getting warmed up

Totally agree, Wood has more spark than both of them and assuming Ellis is "good to go" then worth a shot.

Great comments from everyone.

We do need some time to gel.Tweaking our half backs to ensure that
nobody falls into thinking that they are indispensable may be required,
to judge their motivation levels and how they respond.

Fully agree that motivation needs improving. It was there at the end
yesterday but lets not wait 65 minutes first.

Conversely when we were dominant against KR and the Bulls we lacked
one little spark, that's all.

Time for someone to step up to the mark and be that catalyst.

Do we have him. I don't know, but I sure hope so.

Would be nice to start against Huddersfield though.

i guess the fear is that by the time we "gel" we'll be cast adrift with widnes. salford have picked up wins, we must do the same.

It doesn't matter when we pick the wins up as long as we do. Panic buying and panic changes don't help anyone. The team we have will get better by playing together.
However, by team that is just the first 13. If someone needs to be dropped because the guy behind is better then great, we have competition for places. If we just drop someone because they made a mistake or they are not quite doing it we will always be in that position.

For me the only thing I would change is start with Wood at 6 and John at sub.Just so John could have a look at where everyones at from a different view just as a certain ozzie great who has just retired did when he was learning.
Everyones doing ok and 4 games in things could have gone the other way with a bit more luck.
Widnes - fitness and better quality of players won the game
Hull KR - Could have gone the other way so easily miss called forward pass,Mariano dropped ball .
Bradford - By far the better side in the first half,silly penaltys in second half and allowing BJ room to kick.
Hull - Good defending for 70 mins,bit more time on clock and could have been a different story.
