Very frustrating again .
Why can we never seem to see a game out ?
Poor discipline again . Woeful defending at times . No brains .
Watts for me should be dropped, he is a penalty machine and his actions have cost us dearly .
We lack an on field General , our halfbacks are just adequate, but will not propel us to the top echelon. Why can we never get hold of someone like Sandow or Lui ?

did wish fm commentator say that too

Half backs simply not doing their job properly in the last 2 gaems. Forwards have laid a platform and we've had plenty of time in the opposition 20 metre area but the halfs have created very little.

Totally agree. They still look like strangers to each other, there is no partnership there at all. Neither have take any responsibility to get us on the front foot, that falls to Houghton. Very disappointed with them. Pryce to a degree I can accept and understand, he was a great player in his prime but that was a while back now and he's no longer up to it. Sneyd on the other hand just doesn't appear to have what it truly takes to be the commanding/dominating half we need to make us genuine challengers.

I think you can blame the halfs, but also our outside backs are firing and our wingers are too slow.

We had a couple of half chances that the Wigan wingers would have finished, we ours just don't have the pace off the mark. Micheals finished well, but if he was quicker it wouldn't have been so tight, like the Charnley try.

A couple of times we kicked ahead, which is pointless with our wingers, the only time it worked, Talanoa kicked it into row Z in the North stand.

We need some pace on the wings.

id be tempted to play naughton or lancaster v widnes

Yep , There should be no excuses having played together last season and having a full pre season together , At times both look void of any attacking idea . Sneyd really needs to kick on this season with the forwards he's playing behind .

Just seen the try's, poor defence on the right for the first two, Manu should be disappointed with his efforts for both of them. Shocker by Carlos for the 3rd. The offload gets no better on a 2nd view.

What did you do with the cash you got for Lineham?

I suppose we spent it on overseas players, Fonua was Linehams replacement but he is out injured. We have two really quick young wingers waiting for the chance.

Spent it on some daft flashing lights at the ground

100% agree. Unfortunately that's been the problem for years. Pryce should have been given a 1 year contract with an option for the 2nd in the clubs favour. Sneyd overall has been disappointing. This will be rectified next season when Benji arrives.......

I can see what everybody means about Pryce he drifts in and out of games and IMO maybe time to try abdull Can't see all the negative stuff about sneyd as IMO think he's going ok

We look a far worse side when Sneyd is not playing.
Cant say that though about Pryce,Radford needs to be tough here and drop him and not let sentiment rule his head like he did with Yeaman.
If Abdul is fit he should be at 6 and told to attack the line.he is a big lad and can take a few tackles.
That for me is the best option rather than move Carlos.
We also need better interchanges next week.How was Green supposed to impress with so little time on the field,and Bowden needs to do more minutes.
Can see Bowden and Taylor starting at Widnes with Watts as the interchange rather than dropping him.

Maybe its time our coach ditched his attacking structures and started listening to an half back whos played at the top for 19 years! Even if pryce actually doesnt play, im pretty certain hes got more of an idea than radford

Sneyd has done okay. Pryce just doesn't inject himself into the game enough for me.
We still don't have a game breaker at half back, and to me that should be Pryces role.
Carlos would offer pace and unpredictability at half back, but then we'd be a centre down.

pryce is gone at the end of the season, number 1 priority for me, before a centre is a 6

only problem is, who do we go for?

Could be johnathon thurston, wouldnt make much differance whilst we stick with the samd old game plans

If we get a creative player surely that has to be the no.7 so far Sneyd is too inconsistent despite his improvement in his goal attempts.
Out of hand kicking aside from the odd little dab is average at best.
Kicks straight to the FB far too often, can't kick long, can't kick 40/20s, no variety on kicks offs which are too easy to deal with.
Considering we paid a hefty sum for him overall he's being a tad disappointing.
Still want Abdull as our long term 6 and needs to be in the starting 13 for Widnes IMHO

Didn't Abdull pick up an injury in the 23's last week. If he's back to fitness I agree he should be in for Pryce.
After Fridays match I was left feeling the same as others, it felt like the same old same old.
Having resisted the temptation to vent my disappointment on here, and on reflection over the 4 games played, I do believe we have improved overall, and it has been more enjoyable, if not a little frustrating, to watch us.
As others have said, I see the lack of creativity in the halves as the main problem, given the platforms that are being created for them. For me Sneyd is doing OK, but Pryce looks a bit slow.
I believe he too is injured, so the decision to replace him might be forced upon Radford.

If you listen to Radfords Post match Interview on HFC live he is non too complimentary about Pryce.
When asked about his injury he just said dun no.
Cant see Pryce in the team for Widnes whether he is fit or not.
I hope Abdul is fit rather than changing several positions
Big Frank having a scan on his shoulder on Tuesday so doesnt look good for quick return

We need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot. Clearly there are stronger and weaker areas of the squad but we obviously need more leadership and control from our halves and to cut out the idiotic stupid plays from so called senior players. It costs league points and it really needs players to be dropped who reoffend.

I'm not too worried about Frank.

I hope Abdull is fit.

Spot on. I said last week we need to improve our game management in these tight games but it's just as important that we stop making stupid mistakes the way we do. I'm not going to point the finger at anyone in particular because the truth is that it's been a worrying trait for some time within the squad IMO.

Think that's it in a nutshell.
Pryce has done most things in the game and is in a pivotal position on the field. We should be looking to him for game management. Sneyd is still relatively young and in many ways still learning from a game management point of view.
Frustrating thing is that Wigan were there to be beaten on Friday. They were nothing special, and played their normal dour game plan. We gifted them the points twice and that's what cost us. That's not Radfords fault.
The response is his responsibility though, and the next few games are crucial, and will tell us in which direction we are heading I reckon.
