No way is Sneyd the best kicker around, goal kicks maybe, but his in field kicking game hasn't been great for the past couple of years.

| Agree with others that the bench choices weren't right, Scott and Johnstone were wasted picks for the minutes they played. We need another prop in desperately.
A disappointing result, but were still around that 5th/6th bit of the table I expected us to be, the squad needs some more tweaks to go any higher.
Was still great to be back, I've missed having a grumble at the ref and dissecting the performance on the way home.

| Disappointing that we let Tomkins and Catalans to knock us off our game.
With a light pack we should have used Faraimo off the bench , kicked early in the tackle to put them off their game. Connor & Reynolds were poor tonight

| For as poor as the ref was, for us to not have a play the ball in their 30 all second half is appalling. Thought Houghton and Sneyd were very poor, wrong options time and time again. Against a big pack you either go wide and run them around, or kick early and turn them around and we didn't do either. It seems that we don't just resort to the last tackle kick to score our tries now, it's give it to Satae twice a set too.

| Hopefully that's our poor performance out the way and turn it around next weekend. Can't make as many mistakes and expect to win.

Connor like Sneyd is another who seems to dodge the criticism bullet

You cant carry a half back because he can kick goals.
Organised sweet FA tonight and very debatable that he is the best kicker in the game.
Certainly not the best ball in hand kicker,certainly not the best short kick into the in goal,and several others are just as good with conversions as Sneyd.
Wont mention drop goals.He is now way down the list
I can see McNamara taking his place at some time this season if his form keeps dipping

You mean Houghton
Houghton does absolutely nothing apart from tackle
Roby Clark and dwyer make 30/40 tackles a game aswell as great attacking games
Houghton has lived on tackle 52, he's not even a leader. Only time he leads is when singing old faithful at full time
Sneyd kicks teams to death

People are raving about Connor yet he single handedly lost us the match against Wigan
Yet people don't mention that or the interception against Wakefield
Bet they soon notice if the Wigan game was a play off match

| I said you were fortunate with your extra/loop games and I'll stand by that.
Rovers had 'extra' games against St Helens and Catalans whereas you had extra games against a Sezer less Hudds and Salford. Had that been the other way round the league table would be very different and not to your advantage.
IMO.

You did say that Bob, but did you forget what you also said regarding Wigan in the cup.
If you wish to be just a troll, then feel free, a false prophet almost.

| I said a banana skin. And that’s just what it was, we pack the middle of the field all night, with just the wings on the flanks, waiting for the overused cross field kicks.
Danny Houghton can’t go on forever, he needs spelling, and if Johnstone isn’t the answer, we need another hooker, not Cator.
We are debilitated without Taylor, and Bowden, and tonight it took its toll.
Our defence has been magnificent, but we need to play some footy, we have Reynolds Connor and Sneyd, but no short kicking game, against the Cats, you’ve got to keep turning them round, not play into their hands.
We beat ourselves tonight, the effort was great, but most of the execution was just poor. I thought Big Chris was great again, and Fonua showing flashes of what he can really do. Like others have said a very strange bench, especially when it seems there’s no intention of using either Scott or Johnstone. Never mind you can’t win them all, and it’s probably brought us all down to earth.

I'm not a troll and accept you were good against a very poor Wigan in the cup. I honestly believe that come the business end Wigan will peak and you will not be able to match them. I may be wrong but it's my honest opinion.
For now you've won 3 from 6 same as Rovers.
