no he isn't a half back, hes a good broken play player, but a creative half back never.

think we all got a bit giddy at the wire game

We are very lucky that we have a second chance with the play offs because this as been our worse season for many years. I hope we survive but to be honest unlike previous years we do not deserve to. If we fail then it would be fair when you consider the points gap between us and Salford, this is not to say that we will but I have seen little in the recent performances to suggest we can. I know Smith has improved things but sadly we were just too far below the rest of SL following the reign of Webster who was allowed to stay too long.

Lee Smith is now the obvious centre choice. Ryan should be on the bench and could then slot into the forwards or backs - if he had been on the bench today then we could have kept Miller at half back (not sure who played in the halves after the re-shuffle, it seemed to change as the game progressed).

Only problem with Lee Smith is that you don't know what fitness level he's coming to the club in. He hasn't played all season so is unlikely to be match fit or anywhere near that level to be honest. Very hard to come in and play well in those circumstances.

Will fit in great. Some of these players have played most of the season and still they are not playing well

Touche, I just wish we'd move away from this grapple tackle! fair enough it might slow the play the ball down, but I'd far sooner see the opposition being hit backwards hard with an old fashioned tackle. They might get up and play the ball a bit quicker but they'd have doubts about running it in again!

I can handle being thrashed by Leeds, Wigan, and Saints etc. That's not as embarrassing and usually expected.

However, it is embarrassing to lose by 50 odd against Widnes, Cas and Hull KR teams if we had the right attitude and coaching we could quite rightly beat, especially on home turf.

But its all the fan's fault because of poor attendances......

You realise that Cas are way above the level of Widnes and Hull KR at the moment, right? And that we have beaten all three of Leeds, Wigan and Saints this season (Leeds and Saints very recently)?
If you expect to be thrashed by Leeds, Wigan and Saints why do you think you should be beating Cas?

Err - because Cas have the honour of being one of the only three teams to lose to us this season???

Notice the phrase "at the moment". We had a scratchy start to the year, including the loss to Wakefield. However, given recent form expecting to beat us but to be thrashed by teams we have recently beaten isn't logical.
