Also as good as Hadley has been, really missing Houghton, there was a few time yesterday when we got a quick play of the ball, Houghton would have run it and got us on the front foot, Hadley just passed, but that's what happens when you play a backrower at hooker

I would play Connor in the role of Abdull has been playing.
He needs to be more involved, and get his hands on the ball .
Mind you, Connor will probably be playing stand off on Friday.
I can’t see Albert making it .

i pointed this out yesterday.When we are short in the second row why play Hadley at 9 when his preferred position and best position is second row.
He also tightens up the edge defence.
We could easily have played Washbrook or even Fash at 9 because as you say we are not running the ball only passing from a play the ball.
Our bench choice yesterday was poor.Just cant see the thinking of Radford on that one and the Cas bench just overrun us.
Green should have played if fit,Tuimavave played from the start with Griffin on the bench.
Our left edge defence with Griffin and Talanoa has to be one of the worst in Super League.Griffin is a liability in defence and our two wings have to start to hold the line otherwise we will leak tries on both edges.
Jamie Shaul quite rightly has come in for criticism and could be dropped but i hope he is given another chance so that we dont disrupt the team too much given Kelly could miss the game.

As we have no back up hooker we were effectively 5 front line forwards down yesterday losing hadley from the back row. Losing Houghton last year probably cost us 2nd place and will probably cost us dear again this year. Hadley puts in a decent shift there but our attack suffers due to no specialist hooker

Good result for us at Widnes today. All 3 teams who were in oz lost this round

Dear me Mrs B your letting your usual measured comments slip. Your comments are nothing but personal invective. Please stick with comments on the game which you can do with competence. Or is that only when we are winning.

Shaul has been poor for some time beginning to fail to see what he’s bringing. Has it coincided with Conner’s arrival? Shaul is a confidence player. Remember when he couldn’t get a start and Radders had to put an arm round him.

We've lost the last three haven't we? I'm here regardless of result or performance unlike those whose visits correlate nicely with victory or, much more likely, defeat. I've commented already on my disappointment and disagreed with the bench composition. Good use of "invective", I enjoyed that.

Everybody has a good moan, but some on here am sure get of on it, drama queens

I'm just glad we didn't have message boards in the days of Len Casey or Spider Walsh. We really had something to moan about then.
