Perhaps because of the short notice and lack of preparation he was asked to keep to the basics.

.... it odd how when Connor appears ineffective at standoff it's the player's fault (probably true), but when McNamara, in his first SL start, doesn't quite live up to people's expectations, it's the coach's fault.

When a new coach comes in i think it will be Sneyd who comes under pressure to start performing.
There is a lot more to being a half back than kicking.
The game is now full of players who can kick a ball as good or even better than Sneyd and we all know his running game leaves a lot to be desired.
Albo is the only half back we have who can play with Sneyd as he is a runner who engages a defence.
McNamara was not given the freedom to play last night and the coach should have sent down a message to give him more of the ball.
Connor is a good full back but even better centre.He will never make the grade as a top half back

Difference been Connor gets plenty of ball when playing 6 so we can have decent conversation on his performance, hard to say on McNamara last night, the few things he did, he did well, would like to off seen more.

I see Super League's most entertaining team lost again.

"Up and coming, strong and challenging" no less.

Tbf people were praising them during a purple patch a month or so back. They've gone off a cliff since. But regardless, their squad is the worst in SL by a mile, its not really a fair comparison.

However Rovers are still Top of the

“ We lost but weren’t beaten League”

That was the funniest thing since 50-0 and the Russian investor who knew Del Boy and made his money investing in Siberian wine

More organisation at end of set plays, less off the cuff make it up as you go
Better use of Forwards , distribution of carries , dummy runners, running onto the ball at pace, minutes played
Better exploitation of opposition weaknesses , see the first line.
Faster defensive line speed although it's been better lately
And the biggy for me is the discipline in the tackle, were terrible for ripping the ball out needlessly, interfering and giving really really needless penaltys away that often kill us.

Would love a coach to address the above, I think Last has got us playing with more heart , and abit more effort but still a lot to polish up and work on.

Really think the Forwards need an overhaul, too much deadwood for me and wasted cap. The only two that I think are consistent despite probably being misused at times regarding playing time etc are Satae and Sao

Matongo, Bowden, Bienek, Ellis are four for varying reasons I'd be reviewing , exclude Ellis as he's going anyway. Then looking at what's out there, shame Gil Dudsons off to Catalans as he's exactly the type of forward I think would do a better job than the other Three.

Put it on New coach thread RnR

It's an evaluation of how we last played so think itl be fine on here, ta

Totally agree on Masi, Bowden and Bienek I'd cut our losses on them three not good enough, Ellis is retiring. Brown, Fash, Satae, Sao and Tag plus need one more prop in a big nasty prop. 2nd row we've got Lane, Ma'u, Andre and I've liked Griffin in their when he's covered plus Patterson-Lund is up and coming and Cator can fill in if needed get rid of Jones he's not interested.
