Quote asmadasa="asmadasa"Title for discussion should be 'Front Row' or 'Lightest Pack' not half backs.
We keep targeting the half backs when we all know we need an additional 2 proven Super League Quality genuine props to help win the collision which we lose virtually every week putting our half backs under immense pressure.
Amor & Wilkes are spot on but if we had players like Tom Burgess & Roy Asotasi as well I think we'd be in the top 6. We have got some good players that should be retained for next season and that includes Tim Smith & Isaac John.'"
There's little doubt that Warringtons big forwards out-muscled our guys on Sunday. Carvell is a great prop and he had the likes of Wood and Hill alonside him, thankfully Morley was missing. Amor was good, gave his all and he did make yards, as did Raleigh. Johnson was better then I have seen him this season but his progress forward was quickly halted.
As for the half backs, probably they are behind a beaten pack week after week and it must be hard to be creative on that basis but how I wish we could find another Toppo or Poynton, somebody who could break the opposition line! I don't know if this kind of thing is coached out of them or we just don't find that calibre of player. Astute passing is great if you have a player in the right place at the right time and travelling with purpose. To pass to a player as our halves do rarely creates anything and is frankly predictive and boring!
Some talk of the old days prior to the great SL being boring but there was more artistry and creativity then than there is now!
