Michael's has been poor today and fonda a massive miss

Jane or Henry?

You must have inspired him to have one of his less effective games, along with the other 16.

Could it be a year too far next year for some of the older players?
Just have a feeling we need an injection of fresh legs in the forwards

Only minichello over 30 in that pack. We need some impact off the bench

Was going to say the same, although I think Washy is over 30. But the point remains it was the energy in players we had out there that let us down. I suspect with Washy resigning and Turgut coming through that Thompson may be released, and some of Mahe's money used for an impact forward. Would have loved Fifita, exactly what we're lacking.

apart from Bowden who wasn't to bad our bench today was very poor, washy is good cover for Houghton but hes never gonna change a game from the bench, Thompson just runs across the pitch most of the time, fash and turgut are still young, hopefully get Hadley back next year, if we still have injuries in the next few matches maybe give rawsthorne a go on the wing? young big and quick,

Never mind your bench, your starring props for absolutely schooled today. Walmsley best prop, Toby showing why he will always be picked above houghton for England.

I'm sure you will have more good days then bad though.

See this is better, instead of Rovers fans coming on here just looking for bites, try and have some discussion about rugby, thankfully the England team is usually picked on more than one performance that's why Roby doesn't get picked anymore and the likes of Clarke and Hodgson play, he was excellent yesterday though, but that's mainly because of the forwards being on top and getting a quick play of the ball. Walmsley is great though, totally outplayed our props, who along with most others were poor.

So much on the decline that he stands second in the average metres made per match table in SL.

That pack that was destroyed by St Helens? Age did not come into it. I guess their pack had an average age higher than FC's. It was not only the bench that lacked impact. You have a top class front row. Don't know where they were yesterday.

Need 2 forwards to replace Ellis and Thompson, Wardle and a Moors type player would be ideal.

And a winger/centre to replace Fonua.

Not sure if that is possible with our cap and the returning loan players though.

Need a winger now, who is available

Briscoe - out of form and injury prone
Mcgillvary- would cost a fee
BJB - big contract offer from Wakey
Evalds- good player, but he a Radford winger
Sio - not sure if he come back to SL
kevin naiqama - out of contract, a bit like Fonua who would do well in SL.

Anyone else?

Sign Inu and move Griffin to the wing?

Also Inu, nearly signed him before, very good player, but a bit injury prone.
