And now a 5 day turnaround - fantastic. If no one is back propwise I'd start with Sao and Fash with Brown and Bowden on the bench. Hopefully Taylor, Ellis, Jones, Savelio due imminent returns.

Jones confirmed as having a bad dose of coronavirus, can't imagine they'll rush him back.

Shit show isn't it.

When glaringly obvious issues ain't being rectified you need a Coach who takes no sloppiness.

Rots set in and Last isn't going to snap them out of it

If as rumoured we are waiting for better form before announcing Shaul and Houghtons new contracts, they are gonna run out of time! Shaul, sneyd, Connor (if he insists on playing 6) need to go. A new spine needed. Still think Houghton can do a job off the bench

Really finding it difficult to maintain interest, not just in FC, but the game generally.

Our style of rugby doesn’t help TBH.

We all may as well.
He will be on his way at the end of the season

anyone bothered if we dont see him again before he departs?

That feels a bit like throwing the baby out with the bath water.
First off, where are we finding 3 new half backs from?
Also, they aren't bad players. You stick Sneyd and/or Connor in that Wigan side and you'd see a difference I have no doubt. It's the way we play that is the fault in my view.
Shaul I am fairly ambivalent about although I do think he has been better since the restart than he has for a fair while.

Could be months for Jones. People are really struggling with fatigue and breathing. If we can get a fee for him I’m sure we’ll be getting rid sooner rather than later.

I dont think Connor or Sneyd would enhance any of the top clubs as i dont think they are good enough.
Connor is overhyped and no surprise he has been dropped from the England squad
The game now is about pace and half backs have to take the line on and engage the defence.
Connor has no pace and we know Sneyds big failing is he doesnt commit a defender.
Its no coincidence that Shaul has been better recently as the new rules suit the faster and mobile players.

No

You think Sneyd gets anywhere near the top sides? Maloney, Lomax, Widdop/Austin, Hastings - nowhere near. His kicking isn't even as good as it used to be. Look at Wigan today, found gaps between our wingers and full back virtually every time.

Maybe, maybe not but that wasn't really my point. My point was that if you put them in a more well drilled and structured team they would look better than they've done for us recently.
We could make better use of our assets is what I am trying to say. Its also, in my opinion, a more realistic approach than trying to replace the entire spine in the current market.

Sneyd is an easy scapegoat when things don’t go right. He never stops trying.
Our squad is unbalanced and the five drives / kick is just too entrenched in our DNA.
When we do try and be expansive, it looks like a load of under eights playing touch. Zero structure.

This .

Sneyd has his limitations and that is why he isnt an international class player, but thw whole setup and tactics are still wrong.

Club needs a big culture overhaul.
