How if we the fans can see it, why can't the players/coach? The one time we kicked to Caro in the last derby he dropped it, the rest of the kicks went elsewhere.

Totally agree with both posts,

There is a rumour that St Helens RLFC are only paying 50% of his salary

Personally,I doubt the baloney saying "No halfbacks are available" - everyone has their price.
Only have to look at Salford, if they want a player - Koukash invariably gets his man.

AP stated he would deliver 2 top HB's - Where are they?????

Incidentally how are Salford staying under the cap?

Whilst I agree with the principle of us making sure we aren't outbid for halfbacks that would not necessarily guarantee we get said halfback. It looks like Warry are in the hunt for next season and if the rumours about Walsh are true then Saints will be too. Blake Green's contract is running out so Wigan may be looking for someone too if he moves on. If a player is interested in honours rather than money then all three of those clubs would be above us in the pecking order.

Someone mentioned that Rovers never seem to have a problem getting a halfback and I have to agree. When you look at their recent halfbacks such as Dobson, Green and Burns (I haven't seen enough of Keating to judge him yet) then I would have loved to have seen them in an FC shirt. Where they on our radar? If not, why not? If yes, why did they choose Rovers over us when both teams seem to me to be of equal stature? Certainly raises questions about our recruitment.

I think Miller maybe be dropped. In the last derby, Hull KR ran the same set play when close to our defensive line that targeted Miller. They had two dummy runners, running either side of where Miller was defending and Miller kept getting caught in two minds on which to target and it gave KR a couple of easy tries with the same play. I know the coach has said Miller's defence has improved this year, but would he risk him based on the fact most teams target him in defence? Lots of tactical decisions for Radford this weekend. Also do you play Ben Crooks or not? His defence is just awful and shows no signs of getting better. Too many weak defensive areas for teams to attack and until our defence is sorted we are going to lose a lot more than we win. We need to fix this up as the first priority to give us a chance of winning and then work on other areas.

Rovers run that particular play pretty well (scored a couple of tries at Wigan the same way although on the other side) and it's all down to communication between defending players on the side. That's why Yeaman should take as much blame as Miller and i don't think it matters who defends there the threat is the same.

As someone else has said the team as a whole need to move up quickly in defence and get in their faces. This we never do though.
