Personally if Trueman is back next week I'd give Charles a week off and play Trueman with Smith.
Charles hasn't let anybody down, but he's played a run of 4 or 5 games now which is great for him at his current stage of development. But Warrington have some huge bodies and its been clear in every game how much Charles has been targeted in defence. Think he would really struggle against them. I'd give him a rest next weekend and then bring him back in for London.

Defensively much better, not perfect but better. You could see the effort and we were trying to get 3 men in the tackle and control the speed of the ruck which worked o the whole. Still plenty of work to do though and we are too passive for me giving leeds easy metres for much of the game.

Attack wise its still awful. Painfully slow, inaccurate passing from dummy half, players taking the ball standing still, no dummy runners, poor shape, terrible last tackle kicks. The list goes on but for me we need to keep working on improving fitness and defence before we worry too much about the attack. Stop the tries against and overlooks better.

Special mention for the leeds fans signing for roman to go despite them being in the lead

A decent performance,it just shows what a terrific job agents smith and gene were doing..

smith has clearly lost the plot and stan never knew there was a plot

sadly took a long time for it to click with Pearson

Probably couldn't afford to sack them before, no way is it a coincidence money coming on to sacking them.

think you are right on this one

I tend to think that it was more the investor insisting on smith going and pearson was happy to let them continue. They had no problem paying hoy off and smith and stan only contracted until october anyway.

smith got rid of hoy which pearson must have backed so didn't seem as if he was intending to sack him to me

I'd be surprised if any other SL club goes anywhere near TS now after the carnage he's done here . I guess its a blot on his CV he could've done without also .

The odd thing is if Smith hadn't have come to you and you'd still been in this position the pre-Hull FC Smith would've been the ideal candidate to appoint now.

Do you actually believe what you have written ?

Sad news about Rob Burrow.
Awful disease.
A brave man.

Terribly sad news.

Yes sad news. RIP
