That would make more sense
But jet lag come on

Trueman - I’ve been underwhelmed. I can say this
because he is a Marquee player !
This is not ‘Finishing school’ for SL players.
Marquee players should be A grade immediately once
they are match fit and after 5 matches he sure as hell should
be inc a week off for CC final to work on aerobic conditioning.
Reynolds looks was fitter and I assume that’s because
he came from Leigh.
It sounds a bit harsh but he is a Marquee signing
and they are held to a higher standard.
I hope he stamps his authority more and more
because our red zone play is the most alarming
Aspect of our game.
It used to be defence and commitment and we
resolved that.
Hopefully we can resolve our attack and Jake
is a MASSIVE part of that.

| We looked sloppy in D round the ruck and on our line, and our attack can never be described as aspirational. That being said, what an improvement on only a matter of weeks ago. Really pleased we showed some fight, even three or so weeks ago I think at 18-6 we'd have totally collapsed and it'd have finished 42-6.
Balmforth is the real deal, hope he's signed up already but he's going like he's playing in the shop window.

If our D is sloppy and our attack blunt then that is down to our championship level interim “coach”.Myler got it wrong by keeping him on when he was part of the coaching team when all the batterings were handed out.He has got better players and the messiah Trueman back and still got the same amount of points as smith and smith beat London.We will be lucky to get more than one win til end of season but hey ho…we are playing better than earlier so all is well.

You need to decide if you're a happy clapper or a miserable barsteward. You flip and flop like no poster before you.

It's called being normal, been able to be balanced and see positives and negatives.

You need to open yours. I post plenty of positives, just the pitchfork wielding locals don't like it when I post about the realities of our recruitment and all jump on board. I couldn't care less about anyones opinion of me. I'll post what I see and believe irrespective of whether it's the populist view or not.
Keep it up though, I do enjoy the banter

| I think it’s clear that we are at least starting to do the basics to a decent standard, that shouldn’t really be seen as a positive for a professional rugby side, but it’s a marker of how low we have fallen. That been said, credit has to go to Grix and Cummins for at least getting this improvement out of the team.
it’s now a case of moving to the next step in developing our attack. I appreciate they have only been a partnership for a month or so, but I’d really like to see Reynolds, and particularly Trueman to kick on now. We look very clunky at times, and towards the end we had lane and smith throwing loose and unnecessary passes which ultimately cost us possession and the game.
As for individuals, Moy really is improving game by game, and I’m pleased to see Carlos come back into the side and showing glimpses of the class we have seen over the years.

Il praise the club when they do something right and criticise when they don’t…on a whole Myler has done a good job,yes a couple of the signings are a bit iffy but il give them the benefit of the doubt and see how they get on but Grix has been his biggest mistake IMO as yes performances have improved but still only 2pts won but I hope he leaves at end of season and we bring in a attack coach in his place.

We still fail to do the basics well. Some of the passing is awful

You and I know that that 99% of your posts are negative, even in the good old days you were the same.

| Firstly we had to stop the rot and get some pride in our play. We have done that big time of late. We have a mix of average players. Players coming back from long injuries. Young players making there way . We are what we are but the long improvement has started.

| Back on topic, I agree with other posters we need an attacking coach on board, what role is Ellis doing, him Grix and Cartwright were all forwards it would be good to add a attack minded assistant coach, someone like Ryan Sheridan.

New York is only a seven hour flight,six hours on the return if you get tail winds
Dont think you will get jet lag
That said you dont sound like the sort of person who endorses excercise
