I'd rather play Westerman than Chamberlain at centre, Hudds are weak there unless Milne plays.

Agree with this, anyone has got to be a better option than Chamberlain at centre.

Has anyone seen stats for chamberlain against Wigan. I dont feel hes as bad as people make out but willing to be challenged on this

12 carries for 72 metres

11 tackles 3 missed

One error



And think he got taken into touch twice.

Swap Ashworth and Chamberlain round for me, Ash better off the bench

Good news on the disciplinary front with no bans, hopefully some good news to come with injuries too.

The error will be the getting taken into touch as it goes down as an incomplete set so maybe only once, although the stats from the super league site don't look right. They take them off a live/real time analysis, the other more comprehensive analysis is done post game but not sure where those stats end up. There's no way Wigan completed at 99%. Off the top of my head, Leeming knocked on at the PTB for at least 1 incomplete set, so unless they had 100 sets (they didn't) then theres a mistake somewhere.

All stats aside, I just don’t rate the guy and he shouldn’t be anywhere near a starting shirt, a truly baffling piece of recruitment for me.

Has chamberlain taken over from lane as the new fall guy?

Wigan absolutely battered us.

It can’t all be chamberlain, Lane and Fash’s fault.

I don’t see anybody blaming him (fall guy) for the defeat, Wigan were just too good as they will be for most teams. That doesn't distract from the fact Chamberlain is a poor signing especially on a 3 year deal.

Chamberlain was signed for his versatility Myler said I think ,And the way our players are dropping atm , that will come into play in the next coming weeks .

Don't think Chamberlain is a big deal, he will hardly be a large salary and is non quota. Had we done better (and I know the reason why we didnt) and got Lam and Whitehead for example he would be a back up player.

the club was a hard sell when Myler came in, add in the slim pickings in the player market at the time too

Re Chamberlain, I don’t get the negativity towards him. Yes we need quality players to move us back in to a team that will challenge at the top but and it’s a big BUT we had to stabilise things first.  Chamberlain is here and will do the job that is required of him. This off season we will have been one of the last clubs players wanted to move to due the issues which as has turned out since the takeover things were far worse than most of us thought.  We desperately needed to turn over a large proportion of the squad to try and kick start a totally different attitude, to do that you still need players to replace the ones that left. The player pool is was already quite small and with the late stage we joined the party in terms of recruitment most players of real quality had already sorted their deals.  I’ve no doubt things will keep changing and should a player come up that meets what Cartwright wants in a player we’ll be in for them moving forward.  It’s just going to take a little bit of time but we can already see that the club under the new ownership means business and wants to deliver success.

Huddersfield 8/11 Us                    29/20 Wish I could back us with confidence instead of hope, but hey, it's been like that for what seems an age now. Train booked and a session in Huddersfield so will enjoy anyways. Always more enjoyable if we can bag a couple of points to take homeward bound.

Asiata, Ashworth and Amir all ready for Friday.

Dave K.: Don't think Chamberlain is a big deal, he will hardly be a large salary and is non quota. Had we done better (and I know the reason why we didnt) and got Lam and Whitehead for example he would be a back up player. 3 year deal is excessive for a back up quality player. Holmes should have been 1 year deal to prove his fitness. I understand Myler had to get players in but still.

Ellam: Asiata, Ashworth and Amir all ready for Friday.  Good news, we needed that. If we want to finish above Huddersfield this year, we need to be beating them home and away and those three go a long way to helping towards that. Looking forward to it now.
