| Lots of positives from yesterday. Defence was excellent considering 2nd game for many in 3 days, they struggled to create much mainly because the outside backs defended very well. Like has already been said, both centres did a pretty good job. Wasn't sure about Hirst from what i'd seen, but he was very good yesterday, better leg drive, and a couple of decent offloads. I thought Kirmond actually looked quite threatening for a change, almost broke the line a couple of times. Turning point for me was when Grix was extra man linking, and he got fingertips to the pass, if that had gone to hand midway through the 2nd half I think we would have scored and probably gone onto win......fine margins!
Negatives, injuries starting to creep in, Ashurst went off early, Hadley maybe doubtful, but we do have lots of cover in the back row. We still don't seem to have found right half back combo. If, and it is if, Williams is brought back for Warrington, that would probably be 3 different combinations 3 games running, I think he needs to give the same two whoever they may be at least 4 or 5 games together. Warrington have obviously improved, but they are just limping over the line in games, no reason why we can't win there, just need to be sharper and more clinical when opportunities present themselves.....

I agree. He's out most creative half and can break the line at will if he gets a decent pass. Its just his decision making. He either ends up creating something from nothing or having a brain explosion but to be honest I think Finn and Miller is a better combo than Williams and Miller/Finn. I don't really see what Williams offers that Finn doesn't and having Miller in makes us unpredictable.

| I agree - Miller is a real x factor kind of player; he must be an absolute nightmare to defend against, because predicting what he's about to do is almost impossible. The downside of course, is that I don't think he knows what he's about to do most of the time - so trying to support him as a teammate must be equally nightmarish. If he could dial down the unpredictability a few notches and be slightly more consistent - he'd be one of the best; but then he wouldn't play for us.
Other positives - Arona is becoming a machine at LF, and Gibson had a good debut after that horrible injury; he's really skillful, and when he gets rid of the cobwebs, I think he'll make things happen. I also liked Hirst's contribution - he's a handful when he hits the line and when he grows in confidence, his offload game will be an asset.

| The negative aspect of the crowds is a concern.
Can't honestly see this changing that much at the moment, or until they look at the marketing aspects of the club and selling memberships.
I, along with several others think that a mini season ticket would be a good idea for those who cant commit, membership packages to have the option of replica shirts being included and a slight reduction in the cost of the ticket, could help bring in more people through the turnstiles.
On top of this, capturing data from members to see if there are any regions in the district that are staying away from the club. If that could be identified, then maybe a marketing campaign to try to bring those from that area into the club.
Maybe, hopefully whenever Newmarket happens some of the above could be looked at, we may end up with good attendances

| We can't attract big crowds because of the lack of belief that we will win a game. Even with a good points start it's touch and go that we will hold on for a win. The fans are let down on a regular basis. Winning teams get good crowds as supporters are very fickle as it showed at Leeds last season when they were on the slide. A good run of victories is what's needed not an odd one or two!
