Well that's the next challenge for these players. Start to rectify our results playing at home. Because our home ground has become a bogey ground for us in recent years. That needs to change.

never understood the chmaberlain criticism.  hes not a flash player, but very solid indeed.


as much as we rav about asiata, i still think hes under rated (sounds strange i know) BUT i dont think its a coincidence that Lam doesn't look half the player he was when asiata was at Leigh, also look how good sezer and cust have been with him in our side.
whatever we are paying asiata, we are getting a bargain!


Knight, for me is a 'keep at any cost' 
if tha quota rules doesnt come into play, I'd be looking at moving rapana on, sign Knight with his spot and keeping Briscoe for another year as cover (unless we sign another outside back) its harsh on rapana, but i think Knight would be better player to keep going forward.


another note, i think it maybe an idea to give young martin a rest next week. hes been immense for us, but with that rule this season about playing 'x' amount of mins in a season plus, hes made a few errors recently, i think the kid could do with a rest now.
hopefully rapana is back for next week, so play him or briscoe out there.


any updates on cust and asiata (both looked very uncomfortable)

Agree re Herman and the week off shortly will come at the right time. Think the experience that the likes of Sezer, Hardaker bring to the team can not be understated but the way both of them have integrated into the club/team in unbelievable and it is paying off so far in the way they are performing. 

With Herman and Knight they are both being overplayed due to us not having any fit second rowers and us seemingly having an endless amount of in game injuries which causes weekly reshuffles and always seems to result in bigger minutes for these guys.


Hopefully once we get some luck with injuries and some bodies back they'll go back to proper spells.

Fingers crossed Cust will be OK for the Catalans game. He got a similar knock at Wakefield but played at Cas six days later.


Asiata a massive loss though of course. We'll just have to hope for the best there.

I'm not sure Herman has dropped off but teams are now going all out defending against him.  Pretty much 3 players on him as soon as he got the ball most times he carried last night.  It's good that it opens up opportunities elsewhere if we're smart enough to exploit it
