We desperately needed an organising half but Lino doesn’t seem to be that after 2 games. It’s clear as day we are missing Kyle at 9 our distribution is static and amateur at best. How hard is it as a hooker to take a few steps out to draw the first defender in. One run from dummy half in 80 mins is atrocious.

Think its maybe fair to say the player recruitment and retention over last 2 years has beennot good enough dont wantto be too harsh on the club due money restrictions but
Playershave been signed who aint good enough and we have let players go who are better than ones we have kept.using money on an extra coach doesnt help either.the thing what baffeles me most is the signing of an organising half back its clear lino isnt that

They never looked like scoring, even when they had all the pressure. Very, very pedestrian.

It's still early days into the season and we've played two very good teams, but it's the lack of zip in attack that worries me. When Wigan started to click, even in the first half, they were doing everything at double-speed compared to us.

Lino? Still early but he needs to get a grip of the game. Surely the role of the first-receiver is to attack the line and distribute to those running good lines around him. He received it, he stayed still, and just passed to the next man in the line. Going to be Miller and Rocky again soon in the halves.

Think any first received would struggle ,with the slowness of the play the ball .J C and Wood should be know we're near play the ball as they are far to slow to get the ball away .They can tackle but no good with ball in hand . There not helping the team at all .Even if it was a 15 yard dash with the ball

I think that's a bit unfair on Wood he definitely added some impetus to our play when he was on the field. Hard to scoot from dummy half when you're not making yards up front, which was the case by the time he came on. When we were on the front foot in the first 20/25 he was on the bench and scooting, understandably, ain't Crowther's forte is it.

Where is Vastman he seldom misses a chance to post on every topic. I suppose he is looking for the positives before he posts, so he could be sometime.

As I said last season, you can’t afford to replace him.

My main concern so far this year player wise are Tanginoa and Lino.

Probably take some time for Lino to bed in but the opportunity was there tonight to take the game on, but he didn’t.

We’ve needed a hooker for some time and in reality not scratched that itch.

Tanginoa had looked anonymous so far this year.

The biggest issue though in my opinion is the conditioning of the team. We just can’t cope when teams raise there intensity. I’m not sure who is doing it these days but the team look off the pace when dragged into the deep water.

I'm sure that at some stage he'll be on here to give his honest appraisal after digesting the game, unlike some on here yourself included he tends not to go in feet first with a knee jerk reaction, but don't let that stop your pettiness, after all he has made you look rather foolish over the years, so you go for it chief and fill yer boots.

I'd probably say Scarlett wins in this one.
He makes himself look foolish far more times than Vasty does it to him.
It's a finely honed skill.
