What a difference a fortnight makes in super league.

Our new recruits simply don’t cut the mustard and have weakened the squad instead of strengthening it ,we must rely more than ever on the old guard to see us through this season ,then hopefully Poaching will have some wiggle room to sort out the deadwood and bring fresh growth and impetus to the squad

Looking at who we have let go and brought in 100% agree.

Letting the Wood hookers go and bringing in Hood, I’d take either Wood any day of the week. Gaskell in for Hampshire, it’s Hampshire all day for me. Whitbread In for Tangata, again offers nothing more than Tangata apart from being younger. Tom Lineham, looks 2 stone over weight, would have Kay way ahead of him and Murphy. At least when Murphy breaks not many in SL will catch him, both look to have the same defensive capabilities too.

It's very difficult to perform well when the forwards are dominated and play the ball slow and you don't have people running enough good lines to hit. Against Wire and the first half against Wigan in the cup he played really well, as did most of the team including Hood who is now also getting hammered, he suffers in a similar way when the bg men aren't setting the platform. What can go wrong so quickly and why? Bizarre

Tend to agree. but we need to scour the RL world to see if we can pick up a prop of some size and aggression because, even with Fifita in, which is becoming a luxury, we are not competitive enough in the forwards.
We're in a bit of a rut.
We need a change of attitude and some bodies back.
I was one who thought we had quality in depth this season, but quality alone is not sufficient, the team needs to play with heart and enthusiasm and in the past two games, that's been missing.

In a year We will have got rid of the Chester factor .and then we can move on .

What?
We are getting rid of Fifita, Lino, Tanginoa and Pitts.

Is that an admission that there isn't much available, sums it all up for me.

Talking of CC. The signing of John Asiata by Leigh would have been a great loose forward/prop oversees signing for Trinity. Can’t believe he’s playing in the Championship…. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Asiata

I don't think I've seen you say any of the players aren't good enough or criticise and yet they perform poorly on a regular basis. It's almost like what is reflected in your posts aren't accurate in terms of what is produced on the pitch. The working for the club comment is a tongue-in-cheek attempt at squaring that circle. I was also very grumpy after that result so may have overreacted a tad...

Tanginoa hasn’t won an NRL Grand Final, played international rugby for his country or played over 60 NRL games….

Well, I'm thinking we haven't got much money, more than there isn't much available, although I suppose it is a bad time of the season to be looking to recruit, other than perhaps season-long loan players?

No just the rest of the dross that’s been dumped on us, and how Kelepi is performing at present he could be added to that list real soon for me .

I looked at Brad Fash last night for Hull ,barnstorming in both attack and defence plus does a bit of finger nibbling as a sideline , he made it look easy ,in fact there were more than him putting themselves about and what to me looked like great home grown talent on show . We have the young talent we just need to get that passion and pride rammed down their throats more than just the odd game .I really don’t know what the answer is to getting them up for the fight on a more regular basis ,have we too many hangers on who spoil the dynamics of the team ,I’m sure Willy will leave no stone unturned to get us back to something like a competitive team who look like their enjoying their rugby whilst putting some pride back into the club .
