I agree Give Griffin a run in the second row.He is a lazy player so give him some work to do
Cant see Radford giving Miloudi a game after that defensive display last week.
Still think he could make a decent winger.

If he is lazy and can't tackle (as a lot of people say on here) then surely the worst place to play him is in the forwards.

In the forwards you tend to get players running at you so easier to make the tackle, albeit, you have to make more. In the centres, it is about timing, picking the right man and having to deal with players with good footwork. So defending at 2nd row might suit him

Last home game tomorrow me and the missus will be there let's close out this season with a win to take into next year coyh.

Billy Slater was sublime.
What a miss he is going to be
Probably the greatest full-back in the history of the game.

Bring on South's v Roosters this morning.

Billy Slater,superb.The Rolls Royce of full backs.

Was amazing
Thinking of doing the 14 hour drive to the GF
Maybe even get a lift with Bellamy and Cam ?

Telling mates they should try watching FC and all errors we make versus the near perfection that Storm serve up
Following FC can make your hair fall out

I still admire Rovers 100% completion rate in the rain at Giants - 1st half
Don’t let Filth on other board know that

Maybe you should be telling them to watch Saints, they've made way more errors than any other team.

Priceless ...you tell em
Oh hang on ... wait a minute

and from an england perspective as soon as we see the back of him along comes Tedesco to replace him

The activity on this board will probably match the attitude towards pass sales come Nov-Dec
Has this happened before ? No comments 5 hours after a game has finished ?

A big name signing is needed to stimulate some interest for next season as pass sales will undoubtedly be down next season.
Even with the same fully fit squad we will not make the top five.
Wigan,Saints,Castleford,Warrington are way ahead of us in Speed,power and a winning style of play and i expect Leeds,Wakefield and Catalan to finish above us if we dont add some quality and pace to the squad.
Eleven consecutive losses in Super League even accounting for injuries is where we will end the season and possibly another huge points defeat at an inform Wigan.
Radford is very lucky to have the support of Pearson but Pearson needs to keep his word and get rid of some dead wood so he can bring in new players.

There hasn’t been a match comment before during or after the game
I thought the Chinese had blocked the internet or a new Forum had been launched.
The match - how was it ? Out of 10 ?

Why would a troll like you be interested?

You got me ! Hands up , fair cop
I’ve been playing the long game undercover and smart guy you are
Rumbled me
Dang it

I think the lack of activity on this subject generally typifies the apathy we are now all feeling and the sense of relief that we no longer have to endure performances like that at home this season, what a borefest it was again.
Yesterday again typified everything we do so wrong and lack.
On a plus point I enjoyed seeing Ellis on the touchline assisting with the coaching and having an input.

The constant trolling isn’t going to encourage people to post on here as well, to be honest

Yup, I actually think we were the better side yesterday but let in some lame tries. Shaul and his tackling was woeful.
Started to actually wonder about Shaul and also Houghton now, he's played so many games looks a bit washed out.
Can see at best 8th next season as things stand.

Shaul's tackling was embarrassing for someone at that level. Danny is being over played and we really need to start next season rotating him with Litten. As I've said before, just because he can play 80, doesn't mean he should and Jez brings that spark that we desperately need.

Agree with the above.

Whilst injuries have played a major part in the failure of this season it can not be ignored that even before the injuries mounted we didn't look great and struggled from the start of the season with poor error riddled performances.

I can't think of any game this season apart from maybe the cup game against St's were we have played for the full 80 mins.

Individually and collectively performances have simply not been good enough irrespective of the injuries. The handling and basic skill set on display this season and level of discipline has been poor and nothing seems to have improved in these areas all season.

Its been evident for a number of seasons we lack any sort of real attacking structures and that has shown this season that we rely heavily on maverick plays from Kelly and the boot of Sneyd as we simply can not break opposition defence down as we are so predictable. Defensively we have also been very poor on previous seasons with at times embarrassing attempts at tackling, we are all too often happy to stand and wait for the opposition rather than pushing up to meet them so we are losing the collision on a regular basis and not making the opposition fight to gain metres but simply giving them easy metres.

We seem to lack the ability to run angles, have any real support play or actually just simply run onto a ball with a bit of pace instead all too often we are pedestrian in both defence and attack.

Whilst Lee Radford should be applauded for winning two back to back Challenge Cups he also needs to take responsibility for the way this season has gone in terms of the total ineffectiveness of the game plans and general play in games.
I also think he needs to think himself lucky he has not been relieved of his duties and as such really needs to take a long hard look at his own performances as Head Coach and bring in much needed assistance in this dept and make changes.

As has been said Houghton has been poor by his usual standards this season and it doesn't help that he is flogged for 80mins every game and this seems to have finally caught up with him. Litten should be used more often to spell Houghton as his pace can be very useful against tiring defences.

In truth the performance by all involved in the team this season has fallen short of what should be expected and this has been masked to an extent by the injuries.

If things do not change going in to next season I can see the same happening again.

Excellent post

I think the fans have been remarkably patient this year however it's probably eroded much of the goodwill that has been built up over the past few seasons.
If we don't hit the ground running next year I can see things becoming hostile quite quickly.

Hostile? What are you planning??

excellent post chris 71,hit the nail right on the head.

Think Chris 71 said everything in his post.Just got an e-mail from the club about next seasons pass.Think the club are going to have to do a bit of recruitment on the field to get the fans interested again.
