The first ‘Kings Birthday’ still in bed at 8am… down to 2degrees last night and still too cold to emerge!!

Smiling though… first time this season!!

Send in the humble pie !
I never saw that coming

Bit hard on Lino to leave him out of team ,been one of the players to give is all in a poor team . But would leave out most of the so called first team that was not playing against Leeds ..Every thing about the team seemed much faster the ball was getting out to the wings a lot faster.

But that's exactly the point legend. I absolutely see Lino' work rate and skills but equally he's partly responsible for that slow movement to the wings.

You'd have to look at the game again to see how much was our fast movement of ball compared to Leeds not moving up quickly enough in defense.
Hull KR won't stand off us like that's it will need fast but controlled hands in two weeks.
Difficult decision.

Not questioning Lino is giving his all. He gives in spades. But he delays the pass and holds the ball up constantly which shuts any outside space down.

The halves as mentioned sent the ball swiftly across the line without delay and it created space. The linking from hand was much better yesterday too.

Lino gives his all and people often say halfs don’t fit with him. Maybe his style doesn’t fit with how we want to play. Maybe he needs to change.

Very lucky with the result but congratulations none the less. We were dreadful on the day and imo the best team lost.

I'd say good luck with the rest of the year but we probably need it more than you right now.

Pop Tart you all ways make a fair point ,but my thoughts on why we have had slow ball along the line is down to Hood and J C been in the team .both hold on to the ball to long and slow play down in the middle of the park. In fairness to Lino he is one guy who is willing to take the line on. Not having a go at any one ,was some thing I have notice over this season But could yesterday as said be down to just having a completely younger different team out than played the week before.Any body no how many changes there were as just got in ground as they kicked off

I agree with that Legend. There is no doubt we are already under pressure by the time Lino gets the ball.
But he does have a tactic off running slowly and then speeding up to disrupt the line. I just feel he does it too often. Needs to mix it up.

But he's a good player and we need him.

Was he injured prior to yesterday or just dropped?

Lino was injured

Well grade F Hugo is likely a big ban. Surprised at that.

Hewitt and Eseh 1 match each. Surprised at those. Wasn’t Hewitt the player who was upended?

Looks like we've upset the RL hierarchy by beating their beloved Whino's
