100% agree, Houghton cant do the full game and Johnstone is terrible.

Forget overseas prop and get a hooker with some zip.

Have to agree re Houghton even though I thought he looked ok with his scoots in the 1st half his distribution was still very poor. The 2nd he was pretty much absent.

Need some players back (particularly Reynolds) or we are in for a tough month.

One positive I thought Mitch had a good game, certainly alot of potential there.

Glad Hodgson mentioned mentality. Hopefully he can continue to work on this.

He mentions connection in defence alot. Which was way off tonight. Poor contact and line speed.

We need some more creativity from somewhere. It all went through Sneyd tonight who they shut down pretty easily. We do need to think about a longer term 9. JJ isn't the answer.

Didn't think there was much in the Sao yellow or the scuffle at the end of the game. A few years ago nothing would be done, but we'll probably cop some bans.

Certainly do snd need to find their mojo as was absent tonight. Pleased to hear Hodgson not happy with the performance and that the lay off is no excuse.

It was a big plus for me too. If we want to be successful Hodgson needs to be honest and uphold his values with the players.

Wane when he coached Wigan was never fully happy after a match and look at the machine he helped create. He wouldn't use it as an excuse

we need a prop as priority
Jamie Shaul can make the nine role his own
Sneyd and Houghton are both playing on past reputation.
Although we were poor accross the park i thought the coach was a little naive tonight keeping Scott on the wing when we needed Swifts defence and pace against MacGillvary.He should have moved Scott into his natural cenre position and let Carlos move to full back,
also bringing Satae back on when the game was lost when Burrell could have come on in case Satae picked up an injury in the final minutes.

I've lost count, is it 11 injured/Covid plus potential bans for Savelio and Sao, so 13?
Shaul
Connor
Wynne
Faraimo
Griffin
Swift
Reynolds
Taylor
Ma'u
Cator
Matongo

You need to get over the Shaul to hooker, it wont and shouldn't happen, he hasnt thevroght attributes to play hooker, if it's just speed might aswell start playing wingers st hooker.

I'd sign another forward and hooker, but hooker has to be the priority IMO.

Go forward is ok, we got into their territory enough tonight, it's our attack.

I'm not a big Sneyd fan, but he had zero support tonight.

Not even sure who has covid and who is injured.

No way should those two get a ban.

most teams doing it tough including Huddersfield, just have to keep going and hope the fringe players step up, which they didnt do tonight.

Big game next Thursday

Hallelujah!

Hooker would help our go forward too. Fast balls and playing flat to the ruck.

Joey Lussick anyone?

Got well beat. Looked rusty. Defence was awful and am sure Hodgson will get it sorted. See the Sneyd knockers are out. Wow he was the main reason we was still in the match. Poor across the board. Mitch played well and looked good. But he's no Speedster. Hopefully get some back for Leeds. Big game.

Can’t argue with much of that to be honest just not sure about Shaul at hooker as don’t think his distribution at the ptb is any better than Houghton which is what kills us. Had we had someone like Parcell tonight for instance I think we’d have been much better.

A 29yr old full back is not the answer to our hooker conundrum.
