When a team is usually on a losing run, they always seem to spank us e.g London away.

yes they had lost about there first 7 or 8 games and we had started quite well then we went to there place on a friday night and they battered us.

we will be lucky if we win one game we cant defend,,,hudds leeds saints kr salford not a prey other two a chance but thats all at this current time

2006. They had lost thier first 7 games and we had won 5 of our first 7 and were flying high.

We lost 56 - 12.

I still don't agree with playing the kids to see how they go.
We should put out the best team possible every week and try to win every game.

At the moment, Trout is getting in on merit, so is Walshaw but is behind Trout for me as a Second Row.
If injuries happen or form dips for a particular player then so be it, but not for the sake of it. As much as it might motivate the kid, it will demotivate the others. He will be doing what some already accuse him of and that is picking favourites. He should pick on form alone.

I am not saying play them for the sake of it. The first team have had a very poor season, 6 wins is it, yet nobody ever gets dropped, to be letting in 30 points a match must mean that players who get selected week after week are not doing what they are paid to do. Several of the reseve team players have played very well all season and yet they never get a sniff a first team. It must be difficult for them to not think whats the point and look for another club. We need to show the first team players that if you can be dropped and the reseves must be rewarded for good play. An example would be Mathers who has made at least one error per game for the last five games that has gifted a try. Grayson in the second team has had a great season, give the lad a run out. Southern has been very poor all season, Anakin has been great in the reserves and Speirs has impressed on loan, give them a go. Mellars has been gash all season, Cowling has played realy well, give Cowling a go. Wood has been shocking lets give Wildie or Ellis a run out. We now know that Wood is never going to be good enough lets find out if Wildie / Ellis can do a better job.

R.A. should be using James, Ellis, Walshaw, L.Smith in all the remaining games IMO. On current form we'll not win another game this season.

Why?

They need a chance to "see how they go"

No point having reserves and no point busting a gut to be ignored.

May as well pack Anakin/Wildie/Ellis off then, if they don't deserve a shot, lets face it plus 30 points every game what have they got to lose.

Totally agree !!!!

Therefore drop Mathers and Wood for starters

Last year, we had 7 wins. We have to have 10 this year to be acceptable.

Is that 7 matches left then we see the back of Agar

Can only see the one win and that's the last game and that can't come soon enough.

Yeah.

It will be a disappointing end to a disappointing season. Players massively underperforming, glad when it just fizzles out with no doubt a complete lack of desire and effort.

Wrencat, I honestly think it will only be 1.
Home to Widnes.
Our defence is so poor that I don't believe we'll win any other.
So come on lads............prove me wrong
