Salford match emphasised the fact that games are won in the forwards.
With Watts gone, Mini & Washy likely to go later this year plus Kelly, imo were gonna need a prop, second row and a new half (to help inject some more guile into this team).
Dropping one of Fash, Masi, Lane or Turgut into our gameday 17 is great but playing a few of these lads all at once against a rugged and experienced pack will see us over-run like we were on Friday. Any new forwards need to be a bit nasty as we're just too nice at the moment! Maybe it's also time to replace Talanoa with some real pace next year as we're too predictable and maybe teams have worked us out (not that difficult)!
Bit early to write us off just yet this year but all teams need to morph and evolve as they go along to offer new and different threats.

Nope, Connor flapping at players isn't acceptable and nor is JS's downward form either but Connor brings a ton more in attack than Griffin could even dream of.
Considering he was the big name signing for 2017 (before we/the club knew about Kelly) he's being massively disappointing, Connor hasn't, he's exceeded expectations.

Yes the Shaul effort on their halfback was feeble.he didnt have to tackle him just push him in touch.
T o be fair though he shouldnt have had to even deal with that because the Connor/Griffin effort was was even worse.
Its not the first time though we have seen Griffin switch off.Websters try for Cas was another that highlighted how poor he is in defence.
Hopefully we can get Connor back to centre but that will depend on whether Shaul is fit or not.
If Connor has to go to full back then like Knocker i would rather see Jack Logan at right centre.
I have a feeling anyway that Logan will play on Friday even if Shaul is fit.

well we agree to disagree on griffin, As for logan be nice for the kid to get a run as he will bring some much needed zip to our backline,

If any of our 3/4's needs dropping it's the bin man. Other than the hudds game he's been way off. As for griffin, he looked a lot better in his preferred left centre position

At least he only got a brace last night.
He scored a hat-trick the game after Bumpy got stuck into him.
